Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Badulla Districts MP Chaminda Wijesiri made a dramatic exit from Parliament today and quit politics for personal reasons.
Wijesiri told Parliament that the public has rejected all 225 MPs, including himself, and that has had an impact on his family. How many have pointed out that this rejection has been going on for some time and speculated that the parliamentarian had other reasons to leave?
Parliamentarian Dilan Prera from Badulla is expected to move to the SJB, and some say that Chaminda Wijesiri is upset about this.
A number of SJB organizers have oppressed crossovers of those who have been accused of racially prejudiced and allegedly corrupt.
Chaminda Wijesiri did rule out the possibility of contesting the next election if he was given suitable recognition.
