A Sirikotha spokesperson said that the UNP Working Committee decided yesterday to lift all party bans imposed on UNP members whose party membership was suspended and disciplinary action was taken due to joining the Samagi Jana Balawegaya.
The UNP Working Committee has also decided to appoint a committee headed by former Attorney General and President’s Counsel Tilak Marapana to investigate the legal background of the implementation of the decision.
UNP Chairman Vajira Abeywardena says that due to this step taken regarding UNP members who joined the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, the obstacles that existed for them to rejoin the UNP and work together have been removed.
