Suspended Buddhika Pathirana barred from UNP MPs’ meeting

Matara district MP Buddhika Pathirana, presently on suspension by the UNP, was barred from attending the parliamentary group meeting of the party today (Oct. 18).

When he tried to enter the meeting room, chief opposition John Amaratunga said a suspended member cannot attend the meeting.

Then, the MP has left the meeting.

Deputy leader Karu Jayasuriya and MP Dayasiri Jayasekara noted that the party cannot go forward with differences.

Party leader Ranil Wickremesinghe said he has taken disciplinary action against Mr. Pathirana after considering reports he has received about him.
