The leader of the Sri Lanka's main Tamil Opposition Party the Tamil National Alliance(TNA) R.Sampanthan has today(10) handedover a letter to the speaker chamal rajapakshe claiming the confused opposition leader post is entitled to his party as it's having the largest Parliamentarian Group in the opposition.However a group of MP'S have been reported as signed a petition and handed over to the speaker few days back by claiming MP Dinesh Gunewardena who is representing the United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) should be appointed as the new opposition leader.
The speaker has already requested the General Secretary of UPFA MP Susil Premajayanthe to take a decision on the opposition leader's post as large number of MP'S representing UPFA are there in the opposition.As a response the General Secretary has informed the speaker that a decision regarding that will be taken after the next week's Sinhala And Tamil New Year Festival..
MP representing UPFA ,Nimal Siripala De Silva is currently functioning as the opposition leader and the confusion on the post arisen after 26 UPFA MP's mainly from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party have been accepted Ministerial Posts in the new government.
