UNP parliamentarian Ranjith Maddumabandara says that Party Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has increased his powers within the party by appointing a United Leadership Council, in name only.
Meanwhile, United Bhikkhu Front member, Venerable Thalpotha Dhammajothi Thera, says that MP Sajith Premadasa’s decision to withdraw membership from the United Leadership Council as a mark of respect for the Maha Sangha, was a great tribute paid to the Maha Sangha.
