The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Central Committee will take disciplinary action against members of the party who participated at the paada yathra organized by the joint opposition.

SLFP General Secretary and Minister Duminda Dissanayake said that action would also be taken against “those who hooted at the headquarters”.

“We will take action against the people who participated in this march at our next Central Committee (CC) meeting. The behavior of those who participated was deplorable” he said.

The minister said the march was in no way a threat to the government which would continue to be in power for the next four years.

“This was a march organized to take revenge on SLFP party members and that is how we see it. Mahinda Rajapaksa doesn’t have a party and he wants to break the existing party, that is what this was all about and not about overthrowing the government,” he said.

The minister said the distinction between the former President and the current President was that the latter was focused on uniting the party while the former has repeatedly attempted to divide it. (Chaturanga Pradeep)

Of course dear! All the Central committee including the Hon. Secretary were fired and you all were appointed by him and now under obligation - so your comment is well understood to common man!

Do not punish them, those are the kind of SLFPrs you need. To think of giving a fight to the other party Dilan mentioned, you might need AliBaba as well.

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage." - - Ralph Waldo Emerson

FIRST CALL EXPLANATION FROM MR.

Ramsay Wednesday, 03 August 2016 08:59 AM

You are all SLFP rejects which was proved beyond doubt during the last general election .....those who supported MR won and MY3's nominees mostly lost and came to parliament through back door (national list)

If you do not remember it was MS who broke the party and not MR via DM iOS App
