Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga is said to have been removed from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). During Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s tenure, she was appointed as the only Advisor to the party while after the appointment of the current President she was made a member of the Advisory Committee of the SLFP.
While the committee was recently dissolved, Rajapaksa and Kumaratunge were appointed as advisors once again. Kumaratunga was also representing the Central Committee of the SLFP.
However, sources say she was not invited for the central committee meeting held on August 8, while she claimed she only heard of it when several members inquired from her regarding the meeting.
“Honestly I did not know of the meeting and neither did I receive an invite,” she said adding that several party members had inquired from her regarding the incident. “I am surprised and I think someone has said something untoward about me” she claimed.
