Sacked Ministers Wimal Weerawansa and Udaya Gammanpila are to meet today to decide their next move.
Gammanpila said last night that he was happy on being removed from his Ministerial post. Asked if he will join the opposition, Gammanpila said that the leaders of 11 political parties will meet today (Friday) to decide the next course of action. After being sacked Gammanpila visited his former Ministry last night and removed his personal belongings.
