Maithripala talks about the first 'election result' released this year

Former President Maithripala Sirisena says that the sacking of state minister Susil Premajayantha is the ‘first election result’ released this year.

 

He said that the President deciding to remove Susil Premajayantha from his state minister post with immediate effect is the “first election result released this year”. “The way I see the government will not be able to prevent what will happen in the year 2022 by only removing one minister,” he said, addressing an SLFP event held in Matale today (04).

 

The former President charged that Susil Premajayantha was sacked from his state minister post for what he said at the public market, however minister Nimal Lanza who had made a far more serious statement was not sacked or asked to resign.
