UNP Kurunegala district MP Dayasiri Jayasekera who had been in the news in recent times over crossover rumours, is to face a disciplinary inquiry on August 29 at party headquarters Sirikotha.

Mr. Jayaskera told the Daily Mirror Online that he received a letter signed by lawyer Lasantha Perera requesting him to present himself for an inquiry on August 29.

The inquiry had been called following a report submitted to the disciplinary committee by UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake on Mr. Jayasekera’s alleged statements and details as to how he attended the party’s election campaign in Anurdhapura recently.

He said there were eight charges against him, all regarding recent public statements made by him.

However Mr. Jayasekera said he was to attend a rally in Ratnapura on that day and therefore would be compelled to cancel this rally. He said despite the inquiry, he would continue to participate in the party’s campaign for the provincial council elections. (Yohan Perera)

We meet a lot of people and they are of the opinion that Ranil is not suitable to lead the party and he has to make a strategic hand over of the leadership to a younger person.

Yes you will not leave the party as you have no where else to go . Now you neither have the UNP nor PA.

Mangala?? LOL... I rest My Case !!

Well Jeevan, in that case, you have not done a full analysis of the situation. We actually need politicians like DJ to take the bull by the horn, including the mad cow that leads his party.

He did not go. Could not make him comfortable. Power-Play lowest scoring. All with the captain are in the non strikers end. Whole country. More mega hindustan fests to come.......

Dayasiri Jayasekara is definitely one of the very few brave & honest politicians around in the UNP. Why don't all these guys bring an impeachment against Ranil? What is he doing? It is enough! More than enough the damage he had done to the party & to the loyalists of UNP. Every moment he stays in the opposition it is destruction all the way. Although he is honest but he not fit to be a politician and never a leader. He doesn't bear any qualities of being a leader. So pl drop all charges and disciplinary actions against Dayasiri and pave way for the young ones to take over the leadership before the party suffers a natural death.

No-one can take any deciplinery action against Dayasiri as he is a straight forward Gentlemen. Action has to be taken against Ranil and his gangsters.

Jeevan- Monday, 20 August 2012 11:47 AM

I had a great faith in him and once he was one of the political heroes in my life. Now I have thrown him in to the dustbin as I
get an unpleasant political odor from him. He is better for nothing.

A great move , a great decision by the UNP GREAT Leader. The politicians like Dayasiri should not be in the opposition. Daya Gamage , Dr. Harsha, Ravi , Mangala are the great personalities who should lead the party and be in the opposition forever.

Nadalal Fernando Tuesday, 21 August 2012 12:03 AM

Ranil W has every RIGHT to take necessary action aganst Hon MP fd Dayasiri Jayasekara.. Discelpin must be highiest prioroty of any political Party in island.

Keep your hands behind your back.

Imran Hussein Monday, 20 August 2012 03:08 PM

UNP never had him. Dayasiri is an agent but like a drug addicted American soldier in Germany, doesnt know which side he is in.

Amila. G Monday, 20 August 2012 03:08 PM

FIRST, Disciplinary action should be taken against the UNP leader for messing up the Party to the maximum.

Brando Monday, 20 August 2012 02:12 PM

When will be the disciplinery action against RW ?

Sando Monday, 20 August 2012 12:52 PM

He's young and intelligent UNP cannot afford to loose him.

Eddy Monday, 20 August 2012 12:52 PM

Heh, heh, heh, these big talkers are the bigest humbugs, take heart Jeevan, take heart, there's more to come!!
