The hearing of the writ petition filed by 122 MPs seeking the Court of Appeal (CA) to direct Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa to show by which authority he holds his current office, commenced a short while ago.

This Quo Warranto petition was filed by the MPs challenging the legality of Mr. Rajapaksa’s Premiership and the new Cabinet.

The petitioners said Mr. Rajapaksa has no majority in Parliament as confirmed by the Speaker. (Farook Thajudeen)

Shame being the PM (MR) with NO majority when he cannot approve any acts for cabinet approval since the majority is with RW .

Shameless and illegal appointed PM in the world should go to guinness world record book.
