COLOMBO: Three more Rajapaksa supporters who belong to the Muslim community in the Parliament announced their decision to withdraw from the Government.
Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) MP Faizal Cassim informed Parliament on Wednesday that he along with MPs Ishak Rahuman and M. S. Thowfeek will withdraw their support for the Government.
Announcing their decisions, the three MPs who had earlier supported the current regime have said that they will no longer support the Government.
They further said that they will remain as independent MPs in Parliament from today.
The three MPs were part of the opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) coalition, including from the SLMC.
However, they had supported the Government to pass the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, going against the main opposition.
