Sirisena’s selection of pro-LTTE TNA’s nomination to CC is humorous

Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) Leader and MP Udaya Gammanpila said that the reply letter sent by President Maithripala Sirisena regarding the Constitutional Council (CC) appointments was amusing.
Gammanpila had sent a letter to President Sirisena on Monday asking for his reasons behind the appointment of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Propaganda Secretary and MP Vijitha Herath for the CC as the representative of other parties.
Issuing a reply letter President Sirisena has said that Herath was nominated by the pro-LTTE Terrorist political party TNA Opposition Leader R. Sampanthan and he would not be considered as the representative of other parties. The JVP’s Herath is widely considered as unpatriotic and pro-federal leftist politician who support the TNA separatisms agenda for the Federal state in Sri Lanka
Gammanpila asked if Herath was the nominee of pro-LTTE terrorist Sampanthan, what was going to happen to the Opposition Leader’s previous nominee MP John Seneviratne.
A month ago President Sirisena appointed Herath to the CC and Gammanpila accused the President of violating violated the constitution.
Gammanpila has mentioned in a previous letter that the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA), the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) and the Eelam People’s Democratic Party (EPDP) were eligible to nominate a representative collectively for the CC, but did not enjoy the opportunity.
