Pivithuru Hela Urumaya party leader Udaya Gammanpila asked President Maithripala Sirisena to explain the basis on which JVP MP Vijitha Herath was appointed to the Constitutional Council as the representative of the minor parties.

In a letter to the President, Gammanpila said that this appointment was done without consulting the MPs of the UPFA and other minor parties.

Gammanpila recently said that he was contemplating legal measures on this issue.
