Sri Lanka instructs UNP MPs to withdraw NCM against Unity Gov Ministers

Hours after 20 UNP MPs signed and handed over a No Confidence Motion against 6 SLFP Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Speaker Thilanga Sumathipala who had voted against PM at the recent No Confidence Motion on Wednesday to the Parliament Speaker, the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has instructed the UNP to withdraw the motion.

The Government Information Department Director Sudarshan Gunawardane said the Premier had given instruction to withdraw the Motion citing it had not been approved by the Parliamentary Group of United National Front ( UNF).
