Vasudewa Nanayakkara says he won’t resign from ministry and continues to represent government

Date:

Water Supply Minister Vasudewa Nanayakkara speaking to a briefing held yesterday (06) stated that he will be boycotting the Cabinet meetings in objection to the dismissal of former Ministers Wimal Weerawansa and Udaya Gammanpila, but will not be resigning from the ministry itself.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Central Working Committee of his party does not approve of such a resignation, Nanayakkara revealed.

The Cabinet Minister also claimed that he, together with other 10 minor parties of the government, will sit in the side of the Ruling Party in Parliament tomorrow (08).

Responding to a query whether he answers an invitation to join the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) or the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), Nanayakkara added that such an invitation will not be accepted nor is there any reason for such an invitation to be made.
