The Northern Development Ministry will be re-named as the North-Eastern Development Ministry in future, TNA spokesman M A Sumandiran said yesterday (Jan 15).
He made this remark at a public rally in Valikaamam, Jaffna.
Further, Mr. Sumandiran dismissed allegations which claimed that the TNA voted against the no-confidence motion of Ranil Wickremesinghe with an ulterior motive.
"We voted against the no-confidence motion to restore stability in the country" he said.
He added that several discussions were held at that time in order to determine the party's stance before the vote.
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is due to vacate his official residence at Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo this morning, a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) source said.
The Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Bill was passed by a majority of 150 in parliament today. However the opposition MP’s were absent during the voting.
