Former State Minister Susil Premajayantha was dismissed from his ministerial portfolio based on intelligence received to the President, said Ruling Party MP Thisakutti Arachchi, speaking to media today (05).
The decision was taken upon information reported to the President by the State Intelligence Service, the MP claimed.
Thisakutti Arachchi denied the claim that Premajayantha was dismissed due to a comment he had made at the Delkanda Market 24 hours prior to the dismissal, saying that neither the President nor the Government has fallen into an intolerance against criticism.
