Charitha dropped from COPE, & says Prez, PM should be ashamed

COLOMBO (News 1st) - Former Chairman of COPE Professor Charitha Herath was not included in the list of COPE members announced by the Speaker on Monday (3).

Professor Charitha Herath is among the several ruling faction MPs who decided to remain independent and sit with the opposition in Parliament.

Professor Charitha Herath tweeted that after a delay of two months COPE member list is out, and as predicted, his name isn't on the list. 

He said that thieves, deal makers who are in favor of a corrupted system WON for the day, and the people behind the economic crimes wanted him out of their way.

Professor Charitha Herath said that the President and the Prime Minister should be ashamed of what had happened.
