Foreign Affairs Minister Ravi Karunanayake should resign without waiting for the No-Confidence Motion which would be brought against him for allegedly indulging the funds obtained from the Central Bank (CB) Bond Scam, the Joint Opposition said today.

JO MP Bandula Gunawardena said they were currently collecting documents as evidence to include in the No-Confidante motion.

“A previous No-Confidence motion has already been included in the Parliament agenda against the Minister for presenting false details to Parliament through the Budget as the Finance Minister.

“We hope to put forward the new No-Faith Motion during the next Parliament session for obtaining signatures,” he told a news briefing. (By Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Just resigning will not suffice. Bring the perpetrators to justice to the full extent the legal system would provide.

    maramandai Tuesday, 01 August 2017 02:44 PM

    Like the way they did to rajapakase clan and cronies.

    tarzan Tuesday, 01 August 2017 02:02 PM

    OUR CHILDHOOD STORY SAYS WHEN THE MAN WHO CLIMBED UP THE THE TREE TO STEEL TODDY ALSO HAD HIS SIDE OF STORY

    SD Tuesday, 01 August 2017 02:23 PM

    Then how many times JO had to resign.

    Nonis Weerawansa Tuesday, 01 August 2017 07:14 PM

    Good question, hay Bandula - Tuition master, who are you to dictate terms to a professional?

    Sincere Tuesday, 01 August 2017 02:52 PM

    Bandula is asking Ravi to follow the examples of his colleagues during MR's regime!

    BV Tuesday, 01 August 2017 02:58 PM

    When he said a family could live with RS2500/- per month and later on when he was proved wrong Hon.Bandula resigned immediately.Great politician.

    ceylon Tuesday, 01 August 2017 03:03 PM

    now very clear and confirmed.this government is run by mahinda.sirisena and ranil are his office peons. via DM Android App

    Nuwan Tuesday, 01 August 2017 03:08 PM

    No-confidence motion, which will never win in this parliament, is something Ravi will welcome. It would boost his moral and will bask him in glory of a win.

    Daily boru Tuesday, 01 August 2017 03:14 PM

    Pots are calling Kettle black. He will resign when all of you sit at Welikada.

    Harris Saparamadhu Tuesday, 01 August 2017 07:10 PM

    Before the next local election 50% will be at Welikade and the rest will be there before the next Presidential Election.

    round head Tuesday, 01 August 2017 03:30 PM

    Bandula too should have resigned for each Mahindodaya library construction commissions and each contract awarded thru his personal secretary

    malij Tuesday, 01 August 2017 03:52 PM

    Good for the country. Ravi should resign from the parliement as well. Same way. MR, Namal, Mahindananda, Rohitha, Keheliya, Wimal, Gammanpila, John Amaratunga, and others who are having several cases for kickbacks, steeling,embezzeling, misuse of power etc, must also resign from their parliementary seats. It is good for the country.

    Nostradamus Tuesday, 01 August 2017 03:57 PM

    If Ravi is proven guilty to have purchased that flat with illgotten 165mio he has not only to resign. Must be taken to courts and the flat of course confiscated. via DM Android App

    malij Tuesday, 01 August 2017 04:06 PM

    I just can't understand why they are harrasing Ravi K so much. Poor fellow. Maybe he had taken a donation from Perpetual T to uplift some sport in Sri Lanka. Anyway, it cannot be Rugger as Namal has already taken great care of it. Several millions donated by Krrish to NR has done wonders to our Rugby Football and we are in the threshold of winning the next Rugby world cup.

    Sharon Tuesday, 01 August 2017 04:50 PM

    RK has no shame. Instead of resigning he might contest at the next Presidential election.

    Mandy Wednesday, 02 August 2017 11:08 AM

    And tell me which MP or Minister has a milligram of shame. It is an open secret that MR and family looted but see the flair with which they openly lie about it.

    Nihal Amarasekera Tuesday, 01 August 2017 06:47 PM

    Not proven, but a well known confidence trickster

    Dr. A.C.B. Jayaweera Tuesday, 01 August 2017 07:04 PM

    Bandula, Ravi will resign but on one condition, all the culprits in the JO played out with MR's family should surrender with their looted funds OK.

    Horri Jimonis Tuesday, 01 August 2017 07:07 PM

    Bandu, will Basil and Gotta surrender to the Police admitting their lootings in billions? Then Ravi's resignation is reasonable.

    ceylon Tuesday, 01 August 2017 10:01 PM

    these corrupt bankrupt theives are shamelessly licking bigest theives foots to get some positions in futurethi king can fool.the people. via DM Android App

    TMA Wednesday, 02 August 2017 04:15 AM

    The problem is will your boss their during the date of the no faith motion. He was not there last time

    Ruwani Wednesday, 02 August 2017 06:46 AM

    Even a murderer has a right to tell his side of the story. Ravi K will testify at the commission today. Then it can be decided if he should resign or not.

    Mahila Wednesday, 02 August 2017 12:20 PM

    When are you bringing the NO CONFIDENCE MOTION against the MP for Kurunegala district being tabled/coming before parliament?

    George Harry Wednesday, 02 August 2017 02:15 PM

    Firstly arrest those who are aiding and abetting RAVI, Arjun, Aloysius, they are nothing but Maithree and Ranil.
