The Leader of ACMC, Parliamentarian Rishad Bathiudeen tweeted on Sunday (09) emphasising that “ACMC backs Parliament motion expressing confidence in UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as we want restoration of Sri Lanka’s democracy that was lost on 26 October and reinstatement of legal Cabinet of Ministers that was deposed.”
Parliament will take up a motion to express confidence in ousted Prime Minister this week, as the political crisis following Wickremesinghe’s controversial sacking by President Maithripala Sirisena intensified.
The motion has been listed for which no dates have been fixed, Parliamentary Officials said. Parliament meets on Wednesday (12) and the day’s agenda is to be determined on the same day. If there is no firm indication, it will be taken up on that day, they said.
