We cannot carry out the tasks I have outlined in isolation. We have to look at the international arena. For us here all our energy and resources should be diverted towards extending the revolution to India. The Indian subcontinent is fermenting. This is demonstrated by the fact that a Left government has come to power in Nepal.

They are groping for answers. They have contacted the Sinhala chauvinist regime. Last year's parlamentary and presidential elections broke seventeen years of rule by the right wing United National Party (UNP). Many sections of the left participated in the Peoples alliance coalition led by the victorious bourgeois Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). The NSSP did not join this front. Have your reservations been justified?

Most certainly. We were always willing to fight against the repressive UNP. On many occasions we led joint struggles along with the SLFP.
