They are deputy minister Ajith P. Perera and MPs Wijepala Hettiarachchi and Nalaka Kolonne.

The UNP says it has noticed that Kolonne, the owner of a polythene factory at Laksha Uyana industrial park in Polonnaruwa, is a follower of the president, and does not heed the prime minister.

Deputy minister Perera has attended the UN session despite being told that his participation was unnecessary as the foreign affairs minister was taking part.

A sum of more than Rs. 150 million of public money had been spent on the 67-member Sri Lankan delegation that was at the UN session, lankanewsline reports.
