Hashim & Haleem reappointed as Ministers! Are all these Ranil's drama?

Chairman of the United National Party Parliamentarian Kabir Hashim and Kandy District Parliamentarian MHA Haleem, have been re-appointed as Cabinet Ministers by President Maithripala Sirisena.

Eight Members of Parliament including Kabir Hashim and MHA Haleem resigned from their respective Ministerial portfolios on the 3rd of June earlier, after a group of Muslims public representatives were accused of influencing investigations into the deadly Easter Sunday Attacks.

However after obtaining the consent of the party hierarchy the two MPs were sworn-in as Cabinet Ministers once again before President Maithripala Sirisena this morning.

Accordingly Kabir Hashim has once again been sworn in as the Minister of Highways & Road Development and Petroleum Resources Development, while MHA Haleem has been sworn in once again as the Minister of Postal Services and Religious Affairs.
