The National Freedom Front (NFF) yesterday suffered an
unexpected setback when its General Secretary Nandana Gunatilleke, MP
quit as General Secretary as well as the politburo of the JVP offshoot.
The NFF’s National Organiser Kamal Deshapriya, too, quit the post.
Sources told The Island that Gunatilleke would
join the SLFP. Responding to our queries, sources said that
Gunatilleke’s move had caused a major rift in the NFF amidst speculation
that more NFF members could switch allegiance to the SLFP ahead of
forthcoming parliamentary elections.
