SJB MP Dr. Kavinda Jayawardena yesterday (11) said that the Opposition would hand over a no-confidence motion against Deputy Defence Minister Maj. Gen. (retd) Aruna Jayasekera today (12) over his failure as the Eastern Commander to thwart the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
The Gampaha District MP said that though the Opposition was to hand over the no-faith motion on Monday (11), they couldn’t do so due to the unavailability of Speaker Dr. Jagath Wickremaratne.
The Opposition decided to take action against the Deputy Defence Minister over his claim that a section of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) was involved in the Easter Sunday carnage.
