Diana’s Parliament membership challenged in Court

By Lakmal Sooriyagoda  

A social activist  filed a writ petition in the Court of Appeal yesterday seeking an order declaring State Minister of Tourism Diana Gamage is disqualified to be a Member of Parliament since she is a British citizen.  
Social activist Oshala Herath filed this petition seeking an order in the nature of a Writ of Quo Warranto declaring that Diana Gamage is disqualified to be a Member of Parliament and is thus not entitled to hold office as an MP.
