Parliamentarian Diana Gamage has filed a petition before the Supreme Court challenging the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) for expelling her party membership.
Diana Gamage said she has been expelled from the party membership following her decision to vote in favour of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution. The petitioner said she is not a member of the Government, but a Member of Parliament acting with independence and in accordance with her conscience as demanded by SJB Party’s Constitution.
Diana Gamage has cited SJB General Secretary, its Chairman Sajith Premadasa, Secretary General of Parliament, the Chairman of Election Commission, members of Election Commission and several others as respondents.
The petitioner is also seeking a declaration that the decision to expel her from the SJB communicated to her via letter dated 08th October 2021, is made in violation of the constitution of the SJB.
Gamage stated that the party decision to expel her from party membership was unlawful and contrary to natural justice. She is further seeking a declaration that the conduct of the purported disciplinary inquiry is in violation of natural justice and procedural proprieties, and thereby null and void and has no force or avail in law.(Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

It is in news, that you were a dual citizen at the time you forward your nomination? If so, that itself shows you are a liar. Rest we let the courts decide.

BEST thing for her is to continue with her "Ganja" cultivation. The other day she barked in the House as if she had smoked the entire harvest! What damned Parliamentary seat for these hypocrites!!!

Wrong jurisdiction. District court is the place to go

Did you sell the party SJB you once owned as reported earlier? If you did not, you still own the party and the owner can't be expelled from the party by an outsider. Why doesn't the submission cover that aspect of the argument for the Court to consider?

Definitely the ruling will be in her favour.
