JVP national list M.P. Mayadunne resigns citing bizarre grounds (video)

(Lanka-e-News -03.Sep.2015, 11.30PM) JVP national list M.P. and former auditor general Sarathchandra Mayadunne making a special announcement in parliament said he was   resigning his parliamentary post.

However the grounds he cited for his resignation are not under any circumstance  acceptable to those who oppose corruption.

 ‘The  efforts made by the JVP by presenting a national list comprising neutral independent individuals like me , intellectuals and  scholars  to eradicate corruption and frauds were  not backed by the people via their mandate . Consequently , more of those who are involved in frauds and corruption  have been elected   to  parliament .Hence taking into account the people’s mandate , I am resigning the  M.P. post ,’ Mayadunne said.

This contention is not acceptable by any stretch of imagination , for ,if those who voted for JVP are against corruption , Mayadunne represented those  very voters
