President Mahinda Rajapaksa has removed Deputy Minister Mervyn Silva from his portfolio of Deputy Minister of Highways while Sri Lanka Freedom Party cancelled his party membership. This is sequel to an incident in which Dr Mervyn Silva is alleged to have tied a Samurdhi officer to a tree for failing to be present at a Dengue Prevention campaign in Kelaniya a few days ago.
The SLFP will hold the disciplinary inquiry against the former Deputy Minister according to the procedure laid down in its constitution.
