Samagi Jana Balawegaya to Sack Betrayers
The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has decided to sack its Parliamentarians who voted in favour of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, Party Secretary and MP Ranjith Maddumabandara said.
Earlier, nine MPs of the SJB sent a letter to Party Secretary Ranjith Maddumabandara, demanding the removal of those who voted in favour of the 20th Amendment Bill on 22 October.
The 20th Amendment was passed with a two-thirds majority in Parliament. SJB National List MP Diana Gamage and six Members of the All Ceylon Makkal Congress (ACMC) and the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC), which are constituent…
…Parties of the SJB and Tamil Progressive Alliance MP Aravind Kumar voted in favour of the Bill.
The letter signed by MPs Harin Fernanda, Nalin Bandara, Hector Appuhamy, Sujith Perera, Niroshan Perera, Mayantha Dissanayake, Mujibur Rahuman, Kingsley Nelson and Rohini Wijeratne stated, all the MPs of the SJB had pledged to vote against the Amendment as it was a threat to democracy.
“Although ACMC Leader Rishad Bathiudeen and SLMC Leader Rauff Hakeem stuck to that pledge, other Members of their Parties voted in favour of the Amendment. Therefore, Bathiudeen and Hakeem should remove those Members from their Parties for betrayal,” the letter further urged.
The MPs warned that they would take stern action if the Party failed to remove those MPs.

I have been reading the Book of Ephesians to find strength and encouragement in these dark days.
With reference to Modadasa and his Leadership Clowns, the following is a strong message to SJB followers:
Ephesians 6:12 – For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms
This Madadasa wanted to be the president of Sri Lanka? Help! Group of clowns. Normal clown that appears during the Christmas time make me laugh. But these clowns wipe my smile. I wan’t get it. So many people voted for him.
