SJB gives Harin and Manusha the boot 

General Secretary of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Ranjith Madduma Bandara yesterday announced that the party’s working committee has unanimously decided to expel MPs Harin Fernando and Manusha Nananayakkara. 

Madduma Bandara said the decision was made during the working committee meeting held last evening. 

Previously the SJB had been prevented from taking disciplinary action against the duo after an enjoining order was issued by the Nugegoda District Court in early April against SJB leader Sajith Premadasa, SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara and the Chairman of the purported party disciplinary committee. However, the enjoining order issued by the courts lapsed on 18 April.

The party had long sought to take disciplinary action against the duo after they accepted Government Ministerial positions in May last year going against the party’s decision to refuse any posts offered.
