Wimal
leads NFF from the 2nd row
By
Rathindra Kuruwita
National Freedom Front (NFF) leader Wimal Weerawansa has been
relegated to a second row seat in Parliament, after the Janatha
Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) notified that, Anura Kumara Dissanayake
had replaced him as the JVP’s Parliamentary Group Leader.
This decision was taken at the party leaders’ meeting
held on Monday, where the seating arrangement of the members
was discussed. Weerawansa was allocated a seat in the second
row, as he is neither a former minister nor the leader of
a recognized political party.
As
Parliamentary Group Leader, Weerawansa was seated between
UNP MP Lakshman Kiriella and JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
According to the present seating arrangement, Weerawansa is
allocated a seat next to MP Nandana Gunathilake, while JVP
MP Chandrasena Wijesinghe has replaced Weerawansa.
Neither Weerawansa nor Gunathilake were present in Parliament
yesterday.
