Former Ministers SM Chandrasena (Anuradhapura district MP) and Salinda Dissanayake (Kurunegala district MP) have been removed from the SLFP Central Committee

MP Dissanayake speaking to Daily Mirror Online a short while ago said no explanation has been done as to why he was removed from the Central Committee and added that he is shocked at the decision as he was engaged in politics representing the SLFP for over 40 years. He is among the SLFP MPs who are backing the call for former President Rajapaksa to be made the PM candidate of the UPFA.

“I was imprisoned three times; my parents’ homes were set on fire as a result of my affiliation with the SLFP. But after new President Maithripala appointed a new group of officials in the party, those with a lower seniority level were given higher positions in the party simply owing to the fact that they pledged support to him,” he said.

He went on to state that President Sirisena has no right to remain as the SLFP Chairman after contesting at the election from the swan symbol.

“He is trying to break the backbone of the SLFP and make it servile to the UNP. We will not be discouraged by these harassments – in fact we will continue our struggle to make former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka,” he said. (Lakna Paranamanna)

I was along stnding SLFP memeber proposed by Late Madam Bandaranike. It is not these members that have to be removed but Maitripala Sirisena. I had written to Hon. Nimal siripal De Silva so. Maitripala Sirisena violated the ethicts of the SLFP by winning with mendaciity nt proved and after winning brough the minority UNP to power. He betrayed the SLFP

Good news for me. Those are the crooks who supported the Biggest Crook. They must go.

Aravinda Sunday, 12 April 2015 07:15 AM

These people like Chandrasena and Dissanayaka spoke against the Treasury Bond Fraud of 10th March 2015, which was the largest robbery in Sri Lankan history. This is the real reason for their removal.

MY 3 is having only SLFP CENTRAL Committee and trying to reduce one by one.After that there is no SLFP.

kavan ratnayaka Sunday, 12 April 2015 05:26 AM

Great work. All the thieves in MR govt. are worried that they will get caught with their past deeds. So they support MR. This is obvious to all voters. All such MR supporters should be completely removed from SLFP. Let them go and form another party with MR. Then voters will decide what to they can do to them.

Only worst corrupted politician can back MR for PM candidacy. It is obvious to any right thinking citizin how much public funds they have embezzled in the name of development and " SO CALLED PATRIOTISM"

Lanka Watch Sunday, 12 April 2015 01:50 AM

Slow and steady wins the race, so the people say. Keepgoing Mr. President. weed off the unwanted elements inthe party and the country as a whole.

Jayasingha Saturday, 11 April 2015 11:16 PM

President must also take similar swift disciplinary action against Ravi, Ranil, Mahendran etc for fraud in the Bond issue. Looks like Sirisena is acting on advice from Ranil to break the UPFA/SLFP as he is scared of MR becoming PM after the next election. Sirisena can no longer be considered as a strong SLFPer as he contested from another party and is under obligation to the UNP for making him president. This national / all party govt idea of his is bunkum and is only to give the PM ship to Ranil and to fulfill his obligation as Ranil on his own with the UNP can never win an election.

Your own statement is the reason for you to be removed. Are you that dumb not to know that? No wonder all the dumb and dumber are in one group.

IF we have patience, we will see the end to brutal politics of the past. Just give time. After three decades of hostile and corrupt control by brute force, we cannot expect sudden return to the pre-1970s political life-style. The Leader said do not attend meetings that support the former regime and we are duty bound to honour that order. Our sincere hope is that we will see, at the end decency and respect to all from all.

Madawa Herath Saturday, 11 April 2015 10:24 PM

Now join MR and come forward with a new party. Teach a lesson to the gawapalanaya which is going homben......

Piranha Saturday, 11 April 2015 09:37 PM

So, you want to stay in the SLFP CC and not support Sirisena but want to support Rajapaksa, eh? If your loyalty is to Rajapaksa go join the four Musketeers.

Tony Fernando Saturday, 11 April 2015 09:37 PM

How if he proposed another name when MR was President? He would be history by now. These are the rogues and misfits in politics who were yes men to MR to take our country down an economic spiral
