SLFP to take Mangala, Sripathy to task

The SLFP Central Committee decided on Wednesday to go ahead with disciplinary inquiries against ousted Ministers Mangala Samaraweera and Sripathy Sooriyarachchi.

The Committee met in the presence of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and discussed disciplinary inquiries against the two Ministers regarding statements they had made before being removed from their posts.

Party General Secretary Maithripala Sirisena said they would charge sheet Mr. Samaraweera upon his return from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Sirisena however said Mr. Samaraweera would be given two weeks to consider rejoining the government.

Among other matters, the SLFP which is the largest party in the governing coalition, decided to hold its party convention this month.
