Sri Lanka, April 23 -- It is a matter of concern that Minister Dr. Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe has been appointed as the Acting Chairman of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) while he is still a member of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and the SLPP will take an immediate action regarding his party membership, Badulla District MP Thissa Kuttiarachchi said. He stated this at a press conference held yesterday at the SLPP Headquarters at Nelum Mawatha, Battaramulla. Accordingly, the SLPP General Secretary and the senior members of the party will take a decision in this regard.

It is obvious that Minster Dr. Rajapakshe has committed a wrongdoing and there is a risk of him losing his party membership according to the SLPP party constitution....
