The government announced a short while ago that Deputy Minister Mervyn Silva has been removed from his post in the government following a disciplinary inquiry held this evening over his recent conduct.
Government sources further added that Silva has also been removed from the membership of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).
Silva tied a Samurdhi officer to a mango tree last week over the failure by the officer to attend a dengue prevention programme in Kelaniya.
The move caused island wide protests by Samurdhi officers who demanded the government to take legal action against the Deputy Minister.
