The anti-democratic conspiracy orchestrated by President Sirisena that resulted in the unconstitutional removal of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the appointment of Mahinda Rajapaksa to the post of Premiership was clearly revealed in Parliament today (11).
The official government under the leadership of Premier Wickremesinghe along with other members of parliament met speaker Karu Jayasuriya today.
It was revealed that, except for the parliamentarians representing the Sirisena-Mahinda faction and the five members who crossed over after allegedly receiving millions of dollars in addition to ministerial portfolios, all other parliamentarians have pledged at the meeting that they will intervene to defeat this anti-government conspiracy and move to establish democracy once again.
A significant feature of this meeting was the way in which the Tamil National Alliance, the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna along with all other constituent parties came together, under the leadership of Premier Wickremesinghe, ensuring their support to safeguard democracy in the country.
Accordingly, 118 MPs were present in parliament including Opposition Leader R. Sampanthan and JVP MP Vijitha Herath.
It was reported that the Speaker was apprised of how they (UNP parliamentarians) were offered ministerial portfolios as well as millions of dollars to cross over the to the illegal government by the masterminds behind the constitutional coup. Minister Harsha de Silva had tweeted during the meeting that Palitha Range Bandara was offered a staggering USD 2.8 million to cross over.
