According to the sources the ambitious Premakumar Gunaratnam faction of the JVP that claims to be the majority has reserved Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium for the purpose.

However, latest reports say that the administration of the Stadium have informed the organizers that it cannot be given to the ceremony since it is needed for an affair of the Ministry of Sports on that day.

A spokesman of the faction told that they were now in difficulty to find a venue in Colombo that can accommodate a large crowd.
