MP Athuraliye Rathana Thera files a petition against his expulsion from the party

MP Venerable Athuraliye Rathana Thero has filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking a court order to cancel the decision of the ‘Ape Jana Bala Pakshaya’ to expel him from the party and remove him as a Member of Parliament.

 

Ven. Rathana Thero also says that the party has no authority to take disciplinary actions against him and that the measures taken by the respondents to remove him from the party and from his MP seat is in violation of the agreement reached between the Thero and the ‘Ape Jana Bala Pakshaya’.

 

He therefore requests the court to issue an order annulling the decisions taken by the ‘Ape Jana Bala Pakshaya’ to remove him from party membership and his parliamentary seat.
