Anura slams Ranil, says he is not the PM

Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake slammed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe saying he has no right to be Prime Minister anymore.

Dissanayake said that since the Government was given only 100 days to be in power Wickremesinghe is no more the Prime Minister.

He also noted that with a dispute over the opposition leader post there is instability in the country and so Parliament must be dissolved soon and Parliament elections held.

The JVP leaderalso??said that the National Executive Council (NEC) which was also formed to take policy decisions during the 100 day programme, has not met since last month.

Dissanayake said that even if the NEC meets the JVP will not take part in the meetings as the NEC has no authority to remain beyond 100 days since the Government took office.

The JVP also said that the current Parliament is working against the wishes of the people so the people should be allowed to select a new Parliament. (Colombo Gazette)
