A National People’s Power MP from the Kandy District has been denied a visa to enter the United Kingdom, it has been reported.
The MP has been denied this despite holding a diplomatic passport. The MP had applied for a visa to travel to Britain to attend a program for MPs from Commonwealth countries. Although the MP claimed to be an IT engineer, Britain has refused to accept it.
The MP contested the election claiming to be an IT engineer, Samagi Jana Balawega MP Prasad Siriwardena said.
