Sri Lankan Deputy Minister Resigns to Support Premier Wickramasinghe

( November 6, 2018, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Sri Lanka Labour and Foreign Employment Deputy Minister Manusha Nanayakkara has resigned from his portfolio, a short while ago.

Nanayakkara is expected to support UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe. Nanayakkara was first elected to Parliament on the UNP ticket but later chose to support former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Meanwhile responding to primitive criticisms by President Sirisena against him, the sitting Prime Minister Wickramasinghe says, "Whatever President Sirisena’s personal issues with me maybe, he should not hold the people he has been elected to serve to ransom by plunging the country into constitutional chaos through his illegal and immoral actions."

Here is the resignation letter of the Minister to the President Sirisena;
