A proposal for the removal of Puttalam district MP Ali Sabri Raheem, who was recently arrested at the BIA for possessing undeclared gold and smart phones, was reportedly tabled at the party leader’s meeting yesterday (25 May).
The relevant proposal was initially presented by Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP M. A. Sumanthiran and was affirmed by Opposition MP Lakshman Kiriella, while representatives of the ruling party had also agreed to the proposal.
Accordingly, the party leaders agreed that the controversial MP Raheem should be asked to resign from his post by way of a proposal signed by all Members of Parliament.
