JHUsupport for Govt. from outside
By Santhush Fernando
The JHU said it will continue to be an independent entity without being a part of the UPFA government and will continue to sit in the opposition.

The JHU Central Committee decided last week that a party office bearer would have to give up his membership before accepting any post in the Government, The Sunday Times learns.

This decision was taken after JHU senior treasurer H. M. G. B. Kotakadeniya was offered the post of Additional Secretary of the Defence Ministry by President Mahinda Rajapakse.

The party is to reorganise and prepare itself starting from grass-roots level for the upcoming local government elections due in April next year and even for a possible general election if Parliament is dissolved, JHU sources told The Sunday Times.
