UPFA MP Dullas Allahapperuma today said he would resign from his post as SLFP Matara district leader.

He told a media briefing that he would inform President Maithripala Sirisena, who is the Chairman of the party, of his resignation on Monday.

“I decided to resign because MPs Mahinda Yapa Abeywardane and Kanchana Wijesekara were removed from their post as orgarnisers previously,” he said. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

All JO members sacked or resigned from the SLFP, should give up their MPship immediately. They don't deserve anymore to be...

Coming Colour no good. Start packing up your belongings in card board boxes, as you did before and go back to your country - USA. This time for good. Don't come back!

Sharon Friday, 19 August 2016 12:40 PM

All the best Dallas. A politician usually doesn't resign without a better option...

Aba Jayasekera Friday, 19 August 2016 12:35 PM

He has decided quite correctly that he is not fit to be a member of the SLFP. He is quite correct. I for one believe from his arguments within and outside Parliament that he is the DULLEST of the JO lot!

piyal Friday, 19 August 2016 12:25 PM

Good to rid SL politics of useless 'pagaa' politicians!

Unchikun Friday, 19 August 2016 12:23 PM

The cleansing of the SLFP has begun at last. More need to be removed including the black sheep in the Yahapalanaya government .

De Silva Friday, 19 August 2016 12:15 PM

Thank you very much. One headache gone!!!!

Shan Friday, 19 August 2016 12:09 PM
