President's decision to remove him from his post is a blessing in disguise, Former State Minister Susil Premajayantha said today.

"It is a blessing in disguise as remaining as a state minister would have been an issue considering the ways the country is being administered currently," Mr. Premajayantha told journalists.

"I have been removed as I spoke on high cost of living. I was asked by a journalist on vegetable prices and I said the government's agriculture policy has been a failure. This is why I was removed. I only spoke on behalf of the people," he added.

At the same time, the former state Minister said President has powers even to remove the Prime Minister under the 20th amendment to the constitution. (Yohan Perera)

Either you tow the line of Rajapakshe or perish seems to be the motto of the President. Disgraceful

How could it be a blessing? After travelling in a posh vehicle, you had to travel by a Three-wheeler in the hot dusty weather. It is called Karma.

You were used to give others an alarming signal unless you say yes to everything same fate for them too.

By removing you, the ruler has created a vacant post for a tea server for the Cabinet, nothing else!

Karu Tuesday, 04 January 2022 06:52 PM

You should have resigned if honest

All a well scripted drama in front of rolling cameras. Is Susil so bankrupt to not be able to afford to go home in a budget cab? It's all a joke. Playing the victim card.

You made all of us proud. We stand by you Sir ! Our salute.

Susil is a person who won't bow the head to anyone. Gotabaya won't people who are not qualified. On education side Gotabaya wants uneducated people.

I wonder why the other 'agitators' in Cabinet are keeping 'mum' and not acting positively to reiterate their position. MM

If honest, should have resigned long ago before being kicked out. Good eye opener to the other Actors in the parliment.

Looks like he was the director/producer of the drama "දෙල්කඳ නැටුම"
