Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) General Secretary Udaya Gammanpila said today the decision to deprive him of the status of a political party leader in parliament was wrong.

Parliament decided not to recognise Mr. Gammanpila, Wimal Weerawansa and Vasudeva Nanayakkara as leaders of their respective parties but as members of the United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA).

Being a part of the UPFA would deprive them of the privileges enjoyed by Party Leaders. Mr. Gammanpila said the decision was not in keeping with parliamentary tradition. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

The three most detrimental people to Sri Lanka, Gammanpila, Weerawansa, Nanayakkara, and Gunwardene!

Well said!

Good to know that you and Wimal are keen followers of parliamentary traditions.

Sincere Monday, 07 September 2015 05:06 PM

But it keeps with aspirations of people!

Nimal Monday, 07 September 2015 04:48 PM

As you are working for the people, you do not need any privileges, right?

dinesh Monday, 07 September 2015 03:18 PM

Only Wimal will have to hire vehicle other than a 3 wheeler vehicle to travel along with party members. Other 2 can happily go in a motor cycle.

One man parties reduced to nothing!!

Sapu Monday, 07 September 2015 03:46 PM

How you expect to be a party leader when your party is unregistered?

Leo Monday, 07 September 2015 03:46 PM

So the only reason they want party leadership is to enjoy the privileges?

nalin Monday, 07 September 2015 03:35 PM

After all Pivithuru Urumaya is not even a registered political party. Gammanpila guy is the leader and secretary and also the only member of that !

Bala Monday, 07 September 2015 03:31 PM

It irks us even to see you - racial bigot. One man parties leading nowhere. Imagine if all 225 members were party leaders on one man shows - what fun.

prasanna Monday, 07 September 2015 03:31 PM

Good move - somebody has correct the wickedness these people created by putting MR in front

This bus hopper does not deserve to be in parliament is the first place.

Philip Monday, 07 September 2015 03:18 PM

The decision is right. How can these people be considered as party leaders, if they contest on their own get will not even get 1000 votes.
