The six Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) MPs, who accepted cabinet and state ministerial portfolios will continue to function as per normal in the party in the future, said one of them, Lasantha Alagiyawanna.
The state minister was speaking to Neth News with regard to a withdrawal of an earlier decision to take disciplinary action against them.
However, senior vice president of the SLFP Prof. Rohana Lakshman Piyadasa said the six had not been reinstated in their party position despite the suspension of disciplinary action.
The party’s central committee decided to suspend the letter sent to nine dissidents informing them of the suspension of their party membership, said its general secretary Dayasiri Jayasekara.
