Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama has told several foreign diplomats in Colombo that Environment Minister Champika Ranawaka might lose his portfolio soon, diplomatic sources said.
Bogallagama it is learnt has also said the President was opposed to Ranawaka’s stance on the 13th amendment and that even members of the JHU were not supportive of Ranawaka’s stance. He has also observed that since the National Freedom Front (NFF) has agreed not to oppose any decision arrived at by the President, there was no objection to the full implementation of the 13th amendment. |

NFF Secretary and newly appointed Tourism Minister, Nandana Gunathileka has reportedly told the Ravaya newspaper that since the 13th amendment was already part of the Constitution there was no question in implementing it and that it could be implemented as the solution to the ethnic issue after making several changes following proper discussions.
Sources at the Presidential Secretariat say that although several messages were sent to Ranawaka asking him to meet with the President during the past few days, there has been no response from him.
