The Chairman of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha Prassana Ranaweera says he and members of the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha will continue their fight against Minister Mervyn Silva.
Speaking to reporters at a press briefing in Kelaniya a short while ago, Ranaweera said that they will also not accept Silva as the SLFP Kelaniya organizer.
This follows a statement by Minister Basil Rajapaksa that Minister Mervyn Silva cannot be removed unless President Mahinda Rajapaksa decides to do so.
A disciplinary inquiry against Silva over several allegations raised against him has also reportedly stalled.
