Sri Lanka President suspends parliament day after sacking PM
Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena on Saturday suspended the country's parliament, a day after he sacked Ranil Wickremesinghe as Prime Minister and replaced him with former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Sirisena's move comes after Wickremesinghe, who claimed he remains Prime Minister, asked the Speaker to convene the parliament on Sunday to prove he still retained his parliamentary majority.
