Susil removed – SB given the alliance secretary post

Friday, 05 June 2015

President secretariat inside information states that president Maithripala is considering to remove Susil Prem Jayanth from the UPFA secretary post and appoint S.B Dissanayake to the post. The reason is due to the fact that Susil Premjayanth has been confirmed by the state intelligence as a 100% pro Rajapaksa.

One such incident confirmed the former minister Susil Premjayanth’s pro Rajapaksa attitude yesterday during a SLFP media communiqué. When a media reporter raised a question from Susil Premjayanth regarding the booklet published by the SLFP media unit under the theme “Think about this and protect the party” he has responded that it was an anonymous material (Kele Paththara). Thilanga Sumathipala who was there during the media communiqué has showed his resentment and said that he printed the material following the permission of the SLFP secretary Anura Priyadharshana Yapa. This incident has gained a wide controversy up to now.

The booklet “Think about this and protect the party” has been written by Minister S.B. Dissanayake and published and printed by Mp. Thilanga Sumathipala.

Susil Premjayanth’s this duplicity has been spoken by the senior SLFP’s yesterday. President Maithripala have reminded how Susil Premjayanth had a stealthy discussion before the Maithri –Mahinda meeting. Meantime the SLFP seniors have proposed Maithripala Sirisena to immediately remove all pro Rajapaksa stooges from the SLFP central executive committee. All the members including the president have complied to the decision.

As a first step, it is proposed to remove Susil Premjayanth from the UPFA secretary post and appoint S.B Dissanayake. However the president has decided to exercise this imminent change.
