The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) has suspended the party membership of Colombo Municipal Councillor Zohara Buhary with immediate effect, for voting in favour of the Council’s budget.
In a letter issued by SLMC Secretary Nizam Kariapper, it was noted that Buhary voted in favour of the Colombo Municipal Council Budget Proposal despite the Party Leader, Rauff Hakeem, having personally instructed members of the Opposition to oppose it.
The SLMC described her conduct as a “gross violation of party discipline.”
The letter further directs Buhary to submit an affidavit within one week explaining why disciplinary action, including termination of her membership, should not be taken.
The SLMC warned that failure to comply would result in further disciplinary measures without notice. (Newswire)
