Wimal ready to form new party
* Sets deadline for May 1

JVP rebel group leader and former propaganda Secretary Wimal Weerawansa yesterday set May Day as the deadline for reunification talks with the party.
He told a press briefing at the BMCH yesterday that he was prepared to reunite with the other faction of the JVP if the latter were ready to reciprocate by stopping violence and slander against members of the dissident group. Otherwise, he said he would form a separate political group and register it as a political party.
"Conspirators have to be identified before talks could begin," he said.
He said he had already brought this to the notice of the other faction and wanted a response before May 1.
