Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne warns MPs Archchuna & Shanakiyan..!

Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne today warned Opposition MPs Ramanathan Archchuna and Shanakiyan Rasamanickam for disturbing the proceedings.

“I will be compelled to remove both of you from the Chambers,” the Speaker said when both MPs became aggressive. The MPs who were aggressive alleged that extra-judicial killings are taking place in the North and the East just like in the other areas of the country.

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said the Speaker should not discriminate MPs.

“You give opportunities to other MPs to raise points of order but you don’t give that opportunity to these two MPs,” Sajith said.

Leader of the House Bimal Ratnayke who responded said there is no discrimination involved.

“We cannot afford to allow MPs to raise points of order for matters which are far from being important. What will happen if all 224 MPs raise points of order one after the other? We will not be able to carry out debates in the House in such circumstances,” he said.
