Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Geetha Kumarasinghe yesterday made an appeal for a Presidential pardon for former Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Ranjan Ramanayake, who is serving a prison sentence for contempt of court.

“I am not making this appeal for any political concerns. I make this appeal to grant the Presidential pardon to my one-time silver screen colleague and artiste Ranjan Ramanayake for the sake of the cinema industry,” Kumarasinghe said in Parliament.

Ramanayake was sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment after being found guilty of contempt of court charges in January. He was subsequently removed from his Parliament seat as well.
