Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Diana Gamage who joined hands with the government said yesterday that she is the real leader of the party and that those who claimed to be the leader of the party today had taken it over illegally.
Ms. Gamage told Parliament that those who claim to be leaders of SJB are jokers.
“The Ape Jana Bala Pakshaya’ is my party. The ‘Telephone’ is the symbol of my party. I have allowed these politicians, including the leader of the Opposition, to use my party and contest the general election 2020 when they were facing a danger of losing nominations from the UNP. It is like taking over my house by changing keys after I allowed them to come in when they got caught in the rain,” the MP said.
“How can SJB expel me from my party without informing me. They say the working committee of the party had decided to expel me. I inquired from some working committee members about the decision, and they were not aware of my expulsion,” she added.
“I will disclose the divisions of SJB if this joke continues. Members of SJB are going their own way and the party is in shambles,” she also said.
MP Mujibur Rahman who responded said Ms. Gamage had been expelled from SJB legally by the working committee.
