United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MP and leader of the “Joint Opposition” (JO) in parliament, Dinesh Gunawardena has said the “JO” has decided to support the no-confidence motion against the government that was presented to Parliament by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP).
Gunawardena say the “JO” party leaders had decided that the group would support the no-confidence motion.
“We have decided to support the no-confidence motion of the JVP against the government despite our party differences,” he has told the media.
The JVP submitted the no-confidence motion on the 21st of May and the motion is to be taken up in parliament on Wednesday (10) and Thursday (11).
The JVP’s no-confidence motion has sought parliament’s approval on the fact that the House has no confidence in the government and holds it directly responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks.
The United National Front (UNF) government is however confident of defeating the no-confidence motion with the support of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA).
