Three rallies to be addressed by Dayasiri cancelled
Three United National Party (UNP) rallies which were to have been addressed by UNP parliamentarian Dayasiri Jayasekera were reportedly cancelled by the party leadership, informed sources said.
They said the election rallies were to be held at Agbopura, Bathiyagama and Mahadivulwewa in Kantale and had been organised by UNP candidate Aruna Sirisena who is contesting the election to the Eastern Provincial Council.
When contacted by Daily Mirror, Mr. Jayasekera confirmed that these rallies were cancelled but said he would continue to take part in the UNP election campaign.
Meanwhile UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake said as far as he was aware no party official had requested that any of the UNP rallies be cancelled and added that there were no major rallies organised in Kantale yesterday.
Mr. Jayasekera is facing a disciplinary inquiry over some public statements he is alleged to have made after it was reported that he was on the verge of crossing over to the government.(Yohan Perera)
