Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Thalatha Atukorale addressing Parliament said that she will be resigning as a Member of Parliament today, citing various differences of opinion within the party.
Atukorale said that members of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna who were previously branded as corrupt politicians, have now joined the SJB, prompting her decision.
The MP announced this decision delivering a special statement in Parliament today.
“If Sajith Premadasa remained patient for another five years for the sake of his own political future, we would not have faced this challenge. I tell Sajith Premadasa, that those pushing you towards this abyss, only want to enter Parliament next time, they don’t want to make you President,” Atukorale said. (Newswire)
