Colombo, April 22 (Daily Mirror)- Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, who took up the position as the Acting Chairman of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) could lose his parliamentary seat, according to the party constitution of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), SLPP MP Tissa Kuttiarachchi said today.

He told a news conference that the SLPP had not discussed the matter as yet and that the SLPP General Secretary would take a decision soon.

The MP said according to the party constitution and laws, one will loses his party membership soon after he obtains membership of another political party.

He said as such, Minister Rajapakshe could lose his party membership and thereby, he will lose his parliamentary seat as well.

"Minister Rajapakshe obtained SLPP membership and got elected to parliament under the SLPP ticket. He has committed an offence by obtaining the chairmanship of another opposition political party. So, his SLPP membership will be nullified and as a result, he will lose his parliamentary seat as well," he said.

    Who wants to stay with SLPP rogues anyway? But a good place for people like Kuttiarachchi.

    Jabi Monday, 22 April 2024 02:20 PM

    Amazing Frog.

    Mr. Kutti, remember one thing, slowly people are moving out from SLPP, name one person who has even Olevels, WR thinks 100 percent wiser than SLPP, but in the end NPP will definitely come to power.

    Blind leading blind.

    Frog of the century. Only Amanusha can give him any competition. Government should sack him so that he will loose the ministry post. Then slpp should kickhim out of the party. The next in line colombo district slpp has a great opportunity now.

    Wijedasa does not have a voter base. Further, he cannot even present a bill to the parliament without violating human rights and the country's constitution. What Presidential position can he win? He has always been a monkey politician, jumping from one party to another. Do not worry about him. He is a spent force.

    anil Monday, 22 April 2024 04:37 PM

    but afetr winning a seat from SLFP he was acceptable to the SLPP, that's no violation. Typical SLPP menatlity

    Wheeler Dealer Tuesday, 23 April 2024 10:28 AM

    He contested from SLPP ticket.

    Amazing The most wanted man for the welfare of the country speaks

    Biggest crook of all Rajapaks is the Wijeyadasa Monday, 22 April 2024 05:51 PM

    Even Mahinda could make comeback by beating down of the rouge Wijeyadasa. The Rajapak name is disgraced by him, and soon there will be Wijeyadasa is the cause of Gota making bad decisions too. Wijeyadasa repeated spoke against other religions wanting to put Bhuddism first in past years. He and his family have to be punished for bringing more religious hatred towards Muslims in this nation.

    What a bunch of jokers the SLPP MP talkers are, they are defected from SLFP last time Monday, 22 April 2024 05:54 PM

    SB Dissanayake and others were threatened with losing their SLFP seats when they crossed over to SLPP during the last government. These idle threats by SLPP is joke, and makes the party look impotent for not being able do anything, instead of just accepting they, the SLPP are heading for loss maybe even like what UNP suffered during last election.

    Try it and Wijeyadasa will bring fundemental rights petition and SLPP will be lame duck Monday, 22 April 2024 05:56 PM

    Wijeyadasa is lawyer, he is cunning devil too. Any attempt by SLPP to strip him of membership will make him bring court action, and SLPP will have to wait until after next election for result, after which he'd have left the SLPP anyway.

    The people will reject old wine in new bottles. They have the taste of it for the last 76 years.

    Ahamed Monday, 22 April 2024 08:05 PM

    Only talking no actions?

    Patcitz Monday, 22 April 2024 11:58 PM

    To lose the seat, when did he obtain a seat in the parliament? Who the shit has voted him? you are talking utterlly BULSHIT.

    Patcitz Tuesday, 23 April 2024 12:02 AM

    Who gave this bloody-corrupt Wijeyadasa a membership from the people's party SLPP?

    Nodaking kalakanni Tuesday, 23 April 2024 03:05 AM

    The grand UNP, SLPP, SLFP, SJB criminal coalition is forming. Let’s kick all these self serving scum out.

    Nimal Tuesday, 23 April 2024 06:28 AM

    Not only Wijedasa, all you buggers will be sent home at the next general election followed by a ticket to the maha ulugedara, you Moran

    Boladasa Alanpala Tuesday, 23 April 2024 10:16 AM

    He has nothing to lose except three!

    Lal.Fernando. Wednesday, 24 April 2024 02:59 AM
