Prime Minister Rajapaksa has said that President Maithripala Sirisena had informed him of the decision.
The President has come under increasing pressure from the civil societies and legislators as well as the international community to reconvene the parliament. The President without consulting the Speaker prorogued the parliament on October 27 until November 16.
