Colombo, June 24 -  The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is to take disciplinary action against its Chairman Sarath Fonseka this week, Party General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara said yesterday.  

Madduma Bandara told Daily Mirror that the party’s working committee will be convened this week to decide on a course of action against Fonseka.  

“One has to work according to the policies of a party irrespective of his position in the party. Fonseka does not seem to be acting in a disciplined manner. He should learn to work with the party leader as long as he is in the party. Therefore, we are getting ready to take action against him. The Working Committee will decide on a course of action against him this week,” he said.  
Asked about MP Rajitha Senaratne who has been praising President Ranil Wickremesinghe lately, the SJB General Secretary said there is no move to take action against him.” Rajitha does not criticize the SJB leader in a harsh manner like Fonseka does,” he said.
