UNP MPs Want 6 SLFP Ministers Sacked

As 6 SLFP Ministers voted in  support of the no confidence motion against the Prime Minister, 33 UNP members of parliament has jointly signed a letter addressed  to the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe requesting   to sack  ministers S.B. Dissanayake, W.D.J. Seneviratne, Anura Priyadharshana Yapa, Susil Premajayantha, Chandima Weerakkody and Dayasiri Jayasekara.

The letter states that a certain group within government had continued to repeatedly criticize out in the open the Cabinet decisions which were taken in consensus and act against the government while also specially making horrible statement through the media.    

Continue to allow those who criticize the government while remaining in the government is a betrayal of the mandates obtained in the 2015 elections. 

Therefore they urge that the aforementioned “anti-government” ministers be removed from the Cabinet, for  honouring on the public’s opinion.
