Replace me if you want: Nimal Siripala

Opposition Leader Nimal Siripala de Silva, in an emotional speech asked those agitating for his removal to do so if they wished to. He said he would respect any ruling by the Speaker in this regard.

He made this remark during various points of view raised in the House over the post of opposition leader.

Mr. De Silva said a group of MPs developed the argument that he as an MP from the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) could not cling on to the post because the party had become part of the government.

“If I cannot hold the post as a member of the UPFA, then no other MP from the UPFA can also stake a claim for it," he said.

His remarks were received with applause by government members while opposition MPs, pressing for a replacement responded with sarcasm. (Kelum Bandara and Yohan Perera)

    This is a result of a long term communist plan by Dinesh. The appropriate Sinhala saying is "Ange idan kana kanawa".Similar thing had done by Wimal to JVP and Gammanpila to JHU. They flock together.

    With or without 19th amendment we seem to be getting closer to election time.

    Well said, buddy. Keep up your spirits. MS, RW and the people are with you.

    Dinesh is power hungry ably supported by Wimal/Vasu/Udaya. Realistically and democratically Sampanthan of the TNA should be the leader of opposition .

    What we have now is a virtual dictatorship, leaving no democracy. So, SLFP should be in the opposition. Something wrong with Sri Lankans !

    Very good Nimal you can not act as OL because of your links with Mr Sirisena. You seems to be doing a double game.

    Dinesh Gunawardena is a very fine gentleman who knows the democratic parliament traditions very well. A patriotic son of a patriotic father who fought against colonial rule .
