Highly worried about the recent judgment sealing the fate of Diyawanna members crossing over to another political party, the Pohottuwa Diyawanna member had asked from the party’s secretarial one whether they were going to expel the members who had defected.

That is what he was just telling me…!”
The Pohottuwa leader who had guffawed had replied: “ The secretarial one has now been empowered to expel party’s Diyawanna members shifting to other parties. So he will pursue necessary action to expel all party defectors…!”
Thereafter, the crestfallen Galle district Diyawanna member quietly walked away, they say.
