Changes to Northern cabinet will be considered from several views: says the CM

The Chief Minister of Northern Provincial Council had commented that the request submitted calling for change in the cabinet, had to be viewed from several angles. This comment came as he met the media men at his residence yesterday. ” The Members had not forwarded any accusations on ministers. Out of the 30 ruling party members only 16 have signed the letter. They have asked for democratic action is taken on their request.

The request had to be looked into through several angles. We cannot throw away ministers who are working efficiently. At the same time efficient persons should be inducted into the cabinet.” When asked to comment on the threats and assault on Grama Officers in Mulaitheevu, he said that, this is a serious matter. I doubt whether our officer could do anything against it. This is the reason for commenting on military presence from the day I came here. The southern people try to act in an adhoc manner becoming bold by the military presence. I have taken due action over this, he said.
