Ranjan Ramanayake is and will be a member of Parliament: Sajith

22 Feb 2021

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa today said that Ranjan Ramanayake's seat in Parliament still belongs to Ranjan and will continue to be his. MP Premadasa inquired as to why the Speaker has not yet allowed Ramanayake to return to Parliament. He stated this after visiting Ramanayake at the Angunakolapalassa Prison today. “Ranjan Ramanayake’s seat still belongs to him. However, the Speaker has not yet summoned Ranjan to attend Parliament which we find unfair. As MP Premalal Jayasekara was able to attend parliament while being in the prison, we inquire as to why Ramanayake is not allowed to attend. I spoke with the Speaker earlier, when he said that the decision would be given in three weeks, but there is no answer yet,” he stated. He said that it was unjust to treat two persons who were elected from public vote in two different ways. Further, Premadasa stated that there were threats to Ranjan's life due to the place he is being detained. “Ranjan has been detained together with the people who are against him. Some of them are people he had publicly exposed and spoken against. His life is now in danger and he is threatened at the place he is in. The Government should take full responsibility of his safety,” he said. He further requested the government to move Ramanayake from Angunakolapalassa to another prison in Colombo district. When inquired by journalists on Ramanayake’s health, Premadasa stated, “He does not have any health problems as of yet but we can see that he is having difficulties.” He concluded that the Samagi Jana Balawegaya will stand with Ranjan Ramanayake to fight for his seat as well as other rights as a Parliamentarian.
