The joint opposition is attempting to cover up its misdeeds by moving a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, said UNP Deputy General Secretary and Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam.

While vowing to defeat the no-confidence motion, Minister Kariyawasam said the joint opposition was trying to dodge legal action over its past frauds, corruptions and carnage.

“The joint opposition is attempting to wash away its sins through the no-confidence motion. UNP MPs will not support this cause. I hope there will never be such brainless people in the UNP. Parliamentarians who are faithful to the UNP and willing to punish the culprits will never support this motion,” he said.

The joint opposition yesterday handed over the no-confidence motion, signed by 55 parliamentarians (51 JO and four SLFP MPs), to Speaker Karu Jayasuriya. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

    Every responsible parliamentarian should take a stand considering the current state of uncertainty.

    How can anything be done when the president is pulling in a different direction?

    So anyone who has the courage to stand by their convictions is brainless, according to this minister.

    Only 55(25% out of 225) have signed JO loose motion.The MPs who have signed and awaiting to sign from Coalition must pack up their belongings and leave super-luxury vehicles at the ministries and go home.
