July 30, Colombo: Sri Lanka's main opposition United National Party (UNP) has decided to suspend its Kandy District parliamentarian Abdul Cader from the party's working committee for supporting the government in parliament.

UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake in a letter has informed Cader that the party has taken a decision to suspend him from the working committee at the last committee meeting for voting with the government.

Cader voted in favor of the budget proposals along with the government earlier this month. He has also voted with the government for extending Emergency Regulations.

Attanayake has reportedly informed Cader that he may have to face a disciplinary committee in the future.
