There are attempts to remove Dinesh Gunawardena from the post of Prime Minister and appoint former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Parliamentarian Channa Jayasumana claimed.
Freedom People’s Alliance MP Channa Jayasumana told the media that MPs from the ruling party have requested support for this move.
“Our friends from the ruling party brought forth a proposal stating that there are moves to create a change to the post of Prime Minister. They said they intend to remove Dinesh Gunawardena from the post and reappoint Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister,” MP Jayasumana said.
He further stated that the government will have to resign if such a move is made, adding that the nation’s problems cannot be resolved by changing the premiership.
“We will not extend our support for this. Mahinda Rajapaksa must now retire from politics and enjoy his retirement at home,” the MP added. (NewsWire)
