SLFP suspends MP Sanath Nishantha

The party membership of MP Sanath Nishantha has been suspended by the central committee of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said.

He stated that the decision was taken when the SLFP central committee convened a meeting last night, after taking into consideration the statements made by the Puttalam District MP in the recent past.

Amaraweera said that meanwhile the disciplinary committee has been tasked with conducting an inquiry with regard to the other party members who have violated party discipline and to take necessary decisions.
