Colombo, Feb 16 (Daily Mirror) - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is to expel its MP Sarath Fonseka from the post of party chairman shortly over his latest remarks affecting the party politically, a source said.

A source close to party leader Sajith Premadasa, said expulsion will be done very soon. Asked whether he will be removed from the party, he said it will lead to a process involving litigation but the party leader has the discretion to expel him from chairmanship.

MP Fonseka has been openly critical of the SJB and its leadership despite warnings. Recently, Mr. Fonseka held talks with President Ranil Wickremesinghe triggering speculation that he will join the government at any time.

Both Sajith Premadasa and Sarath Fonseka are respectable honest decent people. They should sort out any differences and try to be together for the good of the country.

Oh my god, where will he go now? Probably a guest spokesperson for NPP? May be NPP will give him some top defense official post. But a very difficult person to work with. Should retire and spend the time with grand children now.

SJB on last legs, the former commanders have no other party to join other than SJB And we all know they can't join NPP. The former military men have an agenda, to get elected and Then switch allegiance, yeah.

Regardless of Fonseka, the SJB is now a non-entity.

We have been exposing this rude, thick headed antisocial selfish attitudes of this former army officer for a quite long time, after experiencing his unwarranted prohibition of parking vehicles of teachers of nearby school at Colombo7,He can keep his qualities for himself but if he is expecting a public office, then it’s our right to educate the public on our observations

SJB can say bye bye to a chunk of their vote if SF exit the party. Regardless of his attitude, he is key person to lead the Defense policies.

If I was him, I would have just retired gone abroad and lived a happy retired life instead of being treated like a puppet being kicked around among some childs play with that clown SP, stupid kindergarten shenanigans

Another declaration of bankruptcy by the incompetent, weak Premadasa, who lacks everything that characterizes a real leader who wants to achieve victory (in elections)!!! This approach once again shows Premadasa's inability to lead, which would be a catastrophe if he were to gain a higher political office! He is the representative of an already chaotic, perspective-less party that is losing its last electoral chances!!! Premadasa has made the SJB an unelectable party!!!

Field Marshal Fonseka is worth a 100 each of the likes of Daya Ratnayake, Boniface Perera, and Daya Sandagiri. Great loss to SJB and shows Sajith's immaturity and lack of awareness.

No, AXING is not an ideal decision, but HANGING HIM TO DEATH is real JUSTICE for his WHITE FLAG incident, an unpardonable sin, for which Sri Lankan citizens have still been crushed by the International community.

Sajith lacks intelligence. That is why he gave membership to a few who were responsible for Gota's downfall. Sajith cannot stomach criticism like many other politicians and soon we will see how many will leave SJB

He was a war hero no doubt but he can’t behave like this when you are in a party. He can’t get along with anyone. No one wants him. Not been the JVP. He couldn’t get elected to parliament when he had his own political party. It’s time to get along well with others or leave.

NV Jen Friday, 16 February 2024 05:16 PM

He is a rabble rouser. Knows only to criticize and has the tendency to take revenge. He would have been a liability to SJB. Anyway he can be found in the discarded dumbs camp run by Ranil, soon.

One of the best decisions. This fellow should have been chased away from SJB a long time ago.

Premadasa, as a weak, intellectually mediocre party leader, cannot tolerate the self-assurance, superiority and dominance that Fonseka embodies! He has little ability to learn, is incapable of criticism and is incompetent to lead! With Premadasa and Fonseka, personal weakness and self-confident strength are incompatible!!! You won't win an election with the former!!!
