The general secretary of the newly formed political party National Freedom Front, the Former politburo member of JVP, Nanadna Gunathilake told BBC Sandeshaya that doors of his new party are open for 'all patriots'.

"It is a critical issue to contemplate on why people are keeping away from the JVP", he said.

He says the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna (National Freedom Front), the new political party of the JVP breakaway group, will not work with affiliation to any party but work closely towards common goals.

The breakaway group consists of former JVP propaganda secretary, MP Wimal Weerawansa and ten other JVP MPs.

Gunathilleke said that he was instrumental in the internal struggle of the JVP which developed even before the presidential election held in 2005.

The inaugural convention of the NFF is to be held on wednesday.

MP Gunathilaka handed over the documents to the Election Commissioner to form a new political party on Monday.
