While saying that the decision to remove his Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) membership was a laughing matter, former MP Mahinda Samarasinghe said his SLFP membership was automatically cancelled when he joined the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) in March.

SLFP General Secretary Dayasiri Jayasekara yesterday announced that former SLFP MP Mahinda Samarasinghe was removed from the SLFP.

“It is a laughing matter to remove me from SLFP membership as my SLFP membership was already cancelled in March,” Mr Samarasinghe said.

Mr Samarasinghe said he had not maintained any connection with the SLFP since the day he obtained the SLPP membership.

“I even put my signature on the SLPP nomination list hoping to contest the forthcoming General Elections from the Kalutara District,” he added.

Another "monkey" politician jumping from party to party to party. What credibility does he have?

Who cares about frogs jumping fences for personal benefits.

remember that he was the minister of human rights for human rights violation during the war. Using his title, he covered crimes against humanity very well.

The public does not care to which party you belong. If your performance is bad they will kick you out.

Its a laughing matter to us too when you keep only changing your clothes but without changing your underwear.
