Parliamentarian Ali Sabry Raheem has been expelled from the All Ceylon Makkal Congress Party (ACMC), led by Rishad Bathiudeen, following a comprehensive inquiry initiated by the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
The decision to oust MP Ali Sabry Raheem from the party membership was made based on findings that his actions, involving gold and mobile phone smuggling, had brought disrepute to the ACMC. This conduct was deemed contrary to the expected behavior of an ACMC Member of Parliament and constituted a serious breach of party discipline.
Mr. M.S.S. Ameer Ali, Chairman of the ACMC, made this announcement, highlighting that Raheem’s actions had led to his expulsion from the party, and the notification of his expulsion was also sent to Mr. Naeemullah, Secretary General of the Muslim National Alliance (MNA). During the previous General Elections, MP Raheem contested under the MNA’s symbol as per the Electoral Agreement between the ACMC and MNA. The Chairman of the ACMC expressed hope that the Secretary General of MNA would promptly address this matter, as promised by him.
