The Opposition today alleged that the no-confidence motion (NCM) against Minister Rishad Bathiudeen was delayed till June so as to clear him from all charges through the Parliament Select Committee appointed to probe the Easter Sunday attack.

UPFA MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage said the government was planning to take the NCM against Minister Bathiudeen after clearing him from charges against him.

"The government is planning to get an interim report of the PSC within two weeks and bring in the NCM in a move to justify Bathiudeen and clear him," he said.

He said Minister Bathiudeen had an opportunity to get himself cleared from all charges when the debate was taken up and added that delaying the NCM was wrong. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

Why are you’ll so hurry to accuse someone without any proof of being involved. These politicians wants only political gain! Don’t worry truth will always remain, this God’s wisdom!

How many failed attempts to grab power... Govt Strikes, Ranil NCM, Constitutional Coup, etc... Scaring Rishard to assure his vote base for future elections... Unless those two biased television channels, you guys are politically bankrupt....

Though I don't like him and his ilk; what he says in this instance is absolutely correct. Government is playing (dirty) games to survive.

We are not keen on what is behind a NCM. Call for Presidential and general elections. You 225 will go home!!
