The governing party has stated that it would file a plaint against UNP MP Ranjan Ramanayake with regard to the statement he had made during the ‘Wada Pitiya’ political programme on TV Derana on Tuesday (Nov. 20).
This was announced at a press conference held today (23).
Meanwhile, MP Ramanayake, issuing a press release, said that he made the statement in question as certain government MPs had addressed the media stating the need for a five-judge bench instead of the Supreme Court’s three-judge bench which issued the interim order against the gazette notification on the dissolution of Parliament.
He has further stated that it was the members of Podujana Peramuna including G.L. Peiris, who had been discontent over the interim order issued by a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court.
The MPs representing Podujana Peramuna are in an attempt to distort his statement and to sling mud at him, MP Ramanayake has further alleged in the press release.
