UNP moves no-faith motion against G.L. Peiris

The UNP today (Sept. 03) moved a no-confidence motion against external affairs minister Prof. G.L. Peiris over his "failure to handle international affairs."

The party handed over the proposal to speaker Chamal Rajapaksa, reports said.

It has been signed by UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe and MPs Karu Jayasuriya, Ravi Karunanayake, Lakshman Kiriella, John Amaratunga and Wijedasa Rajapaksa.

The motion alleges Prof. Peiris had made false statements to the country and to the world and failed to secure continuation of the GSP Plus export concession and did not act in the case of the Sri Lankan housemaid who had been tortured by her Saudi employers. (Colombo Today)
