The general secretary of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Dayasiri Jayasekara has been stripped of his party membership with immediate effect, according to a decision taken by the party’s politburo that met last night (05).
Party chief Maithripala Sirisena sent a letter, informing Jayasekara that he was taking the decision as per the powers vested in him by clause 15 of the SLFP constitution.
As per the constitution, a disciplinary inquiry will be conducted against him, with a charge-sheet sent within the next 14 days, said the letter.
It is said that the main accusation against Jayasekara is that he had secretly plotted to remove Sirisena from the party leadership.
Also, disciplinary violations are to be cited against him.
