The Jathika Hela Urumaya`s decision to accept the Ministerial portfolio offered by President Mahinda Rajapakse was to be announced yesterday, party sources said. The central committee and the Supreme board of the party met on Tuesday night at the JHU headquarters presided by JHU leader Ven. Ellawala Medhananda Thera to reach a decision.
The government has offered the Environment Ministry to the JHU
`This is not the first time we have been offered a ministry. But, in the past we have turned down such offers. We will make a final decision in that regard on Tuesday when our central committee meets,` JHU Spokesman Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe told The Island.
Political sources said the JHU was very likely to accept the government offer and that Ven. Omalpe Sobhitha Thera would be sworn in as the Minister of Environment shortly.
