COLOMBO: UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe and Tissa Attanayake submitted written submissions before the Colombo District Court in connection with the issuance of an interim injunction preventing them from suspending 11 UNP MPs from the UNP working Committee and from its membership.

The MPs joined the Government early this year. The Court on an earlier date issued two enjoining orders preventing the UNP from suspending Karu Jayasuriya, G.L. Pieris, Bandula Gunawardana, Rajitha Senaratne, Milinda Moragoda, Gamini Lokuge, Neomal Perera, M.M. Musthafa, Mano Wijeratne, P. Dayaratne and Hemakumara Nanayakkara from the UNP working Committee and the membership of the UNP by means of a letter dated February 7, signed by Ranil Wickremesinghe.

The Case will be taken up for hearing today.
