An injunction order has been issued preventing the expulsion of non-Cabinet Minister Ali Zahir Moulana from the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC).
The injunction order was issued by the Colombo District Court today.
The order has been issued against the Leader, Secretary and the High Command of the SLMC preventing the expulsion of MP Ali Zahir Moulana from the party.
In October last year, SLMC Batticaloa District member Ali Zahir Moulana took oaths as a Member of Parliament following the disqualification of member and former Environment Minister Naseer Ahamed.
Recently, MP Ali Zahir Moulana pledged his support for President Ranil Wickremesinghe in the upcoming Presidential Polls, despite the SLMC led by MP Rauff Hakeem having announced plans to conditionally support Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.
Following this, SLMC Batticaloa district MP Ali Zahir Moulana was sworn in as a Non-Cabinet Minister of Development Projects last week.
