The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) suspended the party membership of Colombo Municipal CouncillorSohra Buhari with immediate effect after she voted in favour of the Colombo Municipal Council budget.
Party General Secretary Nizam Kariapper issued a letter stating that party leader Rauff Hakeem personally instructed opposition members to vote against the budget proposal.
The SLMC identifies the decision to ignore these directives as a serious breach of party discipline.
