The All Ceylon Makkal Congress ACMC yesterday wrote to the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), informing it that the party could not take action against two of its members who voted for the 20th Amendment last month until Party Leader Rishad Bathiudeen was able to preside over a meeting on disciplinary action.

“I wish to inform you that the political authority of the party is either handicapped or unable to take any decision with regard to the conduct of the said Parliamentarians at this juncture, in view of the fact that the Leader of the All Ceylon Makkal Congress is unavailable to preside over the meeting to deliberate on the matter due to him being incarcerated over a Court case,” ACMC Secretary General S. Subairdeen wrote to SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara. The ACMC said that the party had taken serious note of the conduct of the two Parliamentarians. However, the ACMC said given the circumstances the party could only inform the SJB on the matter after the release of Bathiudeen.

The SJB took disciplinary action against eight MPs who voted in favour of the 20th Amendment, after it had decided to vote against it at the SJB Parliamentary Group meeting. The SJB had called on its coalition parties to take further action against errant MPs as well.
