Communist Party to vote against Kotalawala Defence University Bill

by editorenglish

The Communist Party has decided to vote against the proposed Kotalawala Defence University Bill unless it is amended. The Communist Party is an ally of the government with one parliamentary seat.

MP Weerasumana Weerasinghe who is its parliamentary representative told reporters yesterday the Sri Lanka Communist Party had noticed good and bad provisions in it.

He said that the bill contained provisions detrimental to free education. He said the Communist Party had already requested President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to amend the bill. He said that the Sri Lanka Communist Party’s main concern was its duty to the people and not a national list membership in Parliament or a ministerial portfolio.
