TheNava Sama Samaja Pakshaya (English:New Equal Society Party) is aTrotskyistpolitical party inSri Lanka. It was formed through the expulsion from theLanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) of the Vama Samsamja tendency led byDr Vickrambahu (Bahu), Sumanasiri Liyanage and some others.Siritunga Jayasuriya (Siri) andVasudeva Nanayakkara (Vasu) joined later. In 1976 when the LSSP was thrown out of the coalition large numbers joined the tendency and in December 1977 it declared itself as Nava Sama Samaja Party.
Initially the NSSP was affiliated with theCommittee for a Workers' International but, in the opinion of the CWI, never fully agreed with the analysis that it had made of Stalinism, of developments in the formercolonial andsemi-colonial world and the national question.[1] It departed with CWI in 1988, in a process described by some as expulsion, but by the CWI as a split. The remaining CWI members formed theUnited Socialist Party. Since 1991 the NSSP, led byVikramabahu Karunaratne, has been the Sri Lankan section of theFourth International alongside other Samasamaj parties. United Socialist Party also embraces the ideology ofTrotsky.[2]
In October 2020 Executive Bureau of the Fourth International released a statement condemning the NSSP for allying with the United National Party (UNP) in2020 Sri Lankan parliamentary election. Vikramabahu Karunaratne contested the elections under UNP and refused to answer repeated questions by the Fourth International and the NSSP members supported Vikramabahu's decision. Thus the Bureau of the Fourth International decided to suspend all links with the NSSP.[3]
