A heated argument between Regional Development Minister Sarath Fonseka and joint opposition MP Gamini Lokuge rocked Parliament today.

The argument ensured when Mr Lokuge criticized Field Marshal Fonseka and the latter replied.
The argument heated up within moments and the duo ended up using unparliamentarily language.

JVP MP Bimal Ratnayake who was at the chair warned both members to refrain from misbehaving. " Both of you are behaving in a disgraceful manner and are destroying the dignity of Parliament. Please behave yourselves " he said . (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

    What Lokuge said is correct. Fonseka was rejected by voters and he was appointed mp. and minister. What a shame.

    SF should never have joined politics.

    Unchikun Thursday, 30 November 2017 08:18 PM

    Thanks SF. This star calls bootlicker needed a good dose of medicine.

    Dhammika Thursday, 30 November 2017 08:20 PM

    Gamini Lokuge is a man who is a member of the looters gang , SF led a Army that won by defeating the world most terrorised gang .

    Dhammika, Where was he till Mahinda and Gota came? Why he couldn't lead the war and crush LTTE before then? Don't get mislead by yourself.

    Daham. SF was not leading the army till MR and Gota came. Please give credit to SF, MR

    Daham, Ohh He was One of the Commanders who saved the remanence of the Sri Lankan army trapped in Jaffna in early 2000. If not for people like him and the peace talks, We would have lost the Entire SL Army. Go Learn ur Military history

    Is there anything called 'dignity of parliament' in Sri Lanka now? I thought it over long time ago.

    VMS Thursday, 30 November 2017 09:05 PM

    SF is our war hero but he was a career military guy. All military personal in civilian life behave very rough when provoked.It is the result of their training and experience in violence.

    christine Friday, 01 December 2017 10:41 AM

    Please be a good example to the young generation as they are watching your disgraceful behavier in the most honoured place in the country 'The Parliament' .next who ever you are and what ever your upbriging is please take care of your reputation.Its your most valuable asset.

    SF is a very brave soldier who planned and executed the destruction of the world's most ruthless blood-thirsty terrorist group even though he nearly lost his life. It is true that Mahinda did not bend to the international or Indian pressure and gave the correct political backing to enable SF to carry out his mission. Lokuge is only a big mouth floating around to where he can benefit and is a world apart from SF in every way.

    Dhammika Friday, 01 December 2017 01:46 PM

    Daham - Why are you draging MARA and GOTA to this issue . This is a matter between Gamini Lokka and SF .

    lanka Friday, 01 December 2017 05:25 PM

    How can SF get a Field marshals salary and a ministers salary! This is a disgrace - Yahapalanaya

    ananda Friday, 01 December 2017 05:31 PM

    This looter Gemini was heavily bribed to cross over from UNP by Mahinda. SF is a war hero who led the joint forces to victory. No comparisons needed of garbage Gamini with SF. via DM Android App
