[7][8][9] Stalwarts of the party claim that they are part of an attempt to revive the socialist struggle in Sri Lanka.

The FSP claims that the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna had lost its revolutionary thought built by Rohana Wijeweera since the beginning of his campaign.

As a result, the party’s media unit was shut down once a majority of the members extended their support to Gunarathnam.

The members carried posters that read "Racism is a deadly virus", in reference to the COVID-19 outbreak.
