A group of Opposition MPs led by UPFA MP Dinesh Gunawardane left Parliament chamber a short while ago in protest over several Financial Acts which are being debated in Parliament.

The MPs claimed the government was attempting to pass the Acts illegally.

However, Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said that the Attorney General had mentioned that there was no fault in the way the government was passing the Acts. (Yohan Perera)

It will be a great service to the nation if they walk out permanently.

How about dissolving parliament with immediate effect and having fresh elections.

If the opposition claims that the government is attempting to pass the Acts illegally then they should bring it up in the debate. What sense is there in walking out in protest without even debating it?
