Sandasen Marasinghe and Irangika Range

TNA MP S Sumanthiran yesterday expressed the TNA’s disagreement with the no-confidence motion moved by the UNP against Foreign Employment Promotion and Welfare Minister Dilan Perera in Parliament.

This is the first instance that the TNA expressed its disagreement with a motion moved by the UNP against the government.

MP Sumanthiran said all are responsible for this tragic situation, though the mover of the motion, Ajith P Perera, stated that Minister Dilan Perera is responsible for being unable to get pardon for Rizana and has to resign from the post as the minister in charge.
