Deputy Minister of Foreign Employment Manusha Nanayakkara has resigned from his portfolio a short while ago, sources said.

Tendering his resignation to President Maithripala Sirisena, he said he tendered his resignation in keeping with his democratic and political belief and conscience.

In the letter he said, he would accept the Speaker’s statement and accept Ranil Wickremesinghe as the legitimate Prime Minister, who has the majority in Parliament.

    FROG jumping to turn which colour NOW .

    Dhammika Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:12 PM

    Looks like GREEN .

    Roche Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:25 AM

    This in the beginning of the end.

    sandy123 Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:29 AM

    Now where to go? TNA, JVP, SLMC or any other party?

    Jagath Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:32 AM

    End is near ?

    vasaliya Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:36 AM

    Not after yesterdays show of deshapremiyas!...No wonder MS and MR looked as if they tasted shit at todays deepavali festival.

    Mohamed Zameer Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:36 AM

    Well done, at least one has realized the truth. More will follow.

    J hatton Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:37 AM

    Rajapakse is full force to achieve his objectives- remember, all what he spend now he has to earn with double profit when he takes power.

    Summa Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:38 AM

    Aiyo....My 500M

    dons Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:41 AM

    At least some one with conscience with moral sense.

    max Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:31 PM

    Your kidding dons.

    Auction Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:46 AM

    Sold out for the highest demand

    WiseGuy Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:48 AM

    Regardless of what these politicians say back n forth, its terrible to realize that nobody cares about the financial crisis we are in right now. New notes worth 1500 million have been printed just to pump cash to MP's and SL must pay $1.7 billion to world bank end of this year. (Dec 2018). on the verge of becoming GREECE in 2009. Yet MS talks about butterflies. Damn!

    Baiyya Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:49 AM

    Who voted for these buggers?

    Islander Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:51 AM

    Looks like the tide is turning!

    IQBAL Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:52 AM

    He has not received the full payment. That's why he jumped again RW side.

    WALTZING MATILDA Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:23 PM

    OR has the cash cheque bounced !

    Nalaka Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:54 AM

    Ah, Manusa is a Baba..People should remove these dirty politicians in election.

    Senewi Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:56 AM

    You better return the money

    J - Hatton Tuesday, 06 November 2018 11:57 AM

    SL has a long way to go for a mature political culture. It's unfortunate to have politicians with this caliber as people's representatives.

    Nesan Tuesday, 06 November 2018 03:00 PM

    It is more than obvious that politically we are not matured. We follow gutter politics. That is why the ethnic problem not solved. See UK. They sorted out Northern Ireland problem with matured decent negotiations. Our politicians think that giving greater autonomy will divide the country. What nonsense. It gives more respect,mature understanding and unity between both community. The majority should understand that Tamil speaking people are Sri Lankans. They cannot say they are Dravidians in North and east and Arians in South even now. It's Sinhalese speaking and Tamil speaking. In hundred years we might have Chinese soaking community as well in Hambantota district. Grow up politicians. Settle this issue once and for all for country to develop.

    XYZ Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:00 PM

    How much money did he get to go back?

    Nandimithra Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:11 PM

    Why did he draft this letter in English? There are so many grammatical errors in it.

    sandy123 Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:27 PM

    What a man you are? It's very simple. President can't understand....

    Goyya Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:59 PM

    Some butterflies drafted it.

    MODA BURUWA Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:15 PM

    MaRa get BASIL in to action ? .

    SENA Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:16 PM

    It seems to me that you have understood "They know how to give the $$ and take the $$ - once job done"

    Saman Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:17 PM

    When UNPers crosses it's for the money. When SLFPer crosses it's for the moral sense. Truly there's a double standard here. Either way, it's wrong. People did not vote for them to take such decisions.

    Ashok Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:45 PM

    Well Done Sir, Hope The Others Too With Self Conscience will follow suit.

    Triple X Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:49 PM

    At least one sensible.

    Gemunu Tuesday, 06 November 2018 12:59 PM

    Great. Looks like at last you understood what's right.

    Lanka Shantha Tuesday, 06 November 2018 01:00 PM

    May be Tissa Attanayake had called him and told, what had happened to his political Life.

    Simon Tuesday, 06 November 2018 01:46 PM

    Your courage is commendable of coming out the den. Hope many will follow suite. The people who criticize you have undemocratic minds, selfish and do not think of the other ethnic groups.

    MODA BURUWA Tuesday, 06 November 2018 02:05 PM

    Now its heading for a DO or DIE battle . MARA and SIRA get DEALdasa to action and BASIL to pay the ransom .

    Nadraj Tuesday, 06 November 2018 02:13 PM

    Wise move. Appreciate

    jaypee Tuesday, 06 November 2018 02:21 PM

    Range paved the way?

    Vaz Tuesday, 06 November 2018 02:33 PM

    This game has gone too far now, can we re-start the game with a caretaker government lead by JVP and ministers from all parties including TNA.

    Arjuna Ranawana Tuesday, 06 November 2018 02:49 PM

    We welcome your decision

    Flanker Tuesday, 06 November 2018 02:54 PM

    A spineless coward cowing down to a butterfly... surely he would regret.

    joshua Tuesday, 06 November 2018 03:26 PM

    well done sir. Whatever anybody says, it is better to stick to the democratic values

    rohandavid Tuesday, 06 November 2018 03:47 PM

    probably didn't receive promised amount in $

    Sara Tuesday, 06 November 2018 03:54 PM

    Butterflies fly together
