JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake made an open challenge calling to jail him if he had defrauded a single cent of the people as alleged by some.

Speaking at a rally in Gampaha on Sunday, he said certain people claimed that the JVP maintained offshore accounts and just afterward, government MP Tissa Kuttiarachchi said Anura Kumara should be jailed at least for a day.

"I or anyone of our party have never defrauded a single cent of the people. If we have done so, we won't be able to do politics in this manner. We revealed their fraud and corruption with their names when they were in power. If we are involved in any such misdeeds, we would have already been jailed," he said.
