The FSP’s propaganda secretary further claimed that the alleged discussions within the defense council reflect a targeted effort to stifle dissent and opposition voices following the mass protests last year. He emphasized that their party played a significant role in the protests and accused the former administration of attempting to silence critical voices through legal and administrative measures.
According to the FSP, these actions indicate a broader crackdown on leftist movements and activists who were vocal against the government’s economic and political decisions. The FSP spokesperson warned that any attempt to ban the party would be met with strong resistance from supporters and other activist groups committed to defending democratic freedoms and political expression in Sri Lanka.
The FSP has called on civil society organizations and international human rights groups to monitor the situation closely, alleging that efforts to ban opposition movements violate fundamental democratic rights.
