MP Manusha Nanayakkara obviously did not write his letter of resignation on his own, It was prepared by those United National Party(UNP) MPs who are currently holed up at Temple Trees in support of former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesighe, said MP Thilanga Sumathipala yesterday.
The UNP MPs held a press conference at Temple Trees to announce Manusha’s resignation and said, the former UPFA deputy minister handed over his resignation to President Maithripala Sirisena.
“On the contrary, Manusha had not met with the President, but had submitted his resignation letter to the Presidential Secretariat,”Manusha’s Media Secretary Sanjaya Nallaperuma said.
MP Sumathipala said not only that, Manusha had also left the country after he had sent his letter to the Presidential Secretariat.
Maunsha’s Secretary Nallaperuma confirmed that the MP had left the country stating,” I know he left the country, but I don’t know to which country.”
Manusha’s letter stated that he was compelled to resign until the new political alliance proves their majority in Parliament.
MP Thilanga Sumathipala said that as an UPFA deputy minister, Manusha knew very well that the majority in Parliament is with us, and the people are with us.”
