He was removed from his ministerial position by president Maithripala Sirisena on 29 October 29, 2017. On 30 October 2017 he crossed over to the opposition. The crossover was not valid since the meeting in the parliament was a committee meeting on 30 October and not a regular parliament sitting day.[3]
