Prime Minister & President Meets to Decide on Ravi Soon

With the exposure made in the Central Bank Bond Commission, apart from government as well as opposition parliamentarians, Ministers, Institutions and trade unionists public opinion against Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake is steadily building up. Even some of the Ministers have insisted with their leadership to request Ravi to step down temporarily at least until the conclusion of the CB bond inquiry by the Commission.

Joint opposition made use of the opportunity and submitted a no confidence motion on Ravi Karunanayake and canvassing support for it from SLFP as well as UNP members of parliament. His credibility has gone for a six. One Minister has gone public and declared that he will raise both of his hands and vote in favour of the no confidence motion against Ravi in parliament. President and Prime Minister said to have been under mounting pressure to take immediate step against Ravi Karunanayake. Hence, sources closer to both of them revealed there will be a meeting between President and Prime Minister soon to decide on the fate of Ravi in the government.
