General Secretary of Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) Udaya Gammanpila MP said today that he had learnt that some UNP members wanted to delay the debate on the No-Confidence Motion (NCM) against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe by taking away the Mace and sabotaging the Parliamentary session.

Addressing a media briefing, he said Premier Wickremesinghe had reportedly requested President Maithripala Sirisena to delay the Parliamentary debate on the NCM during his discussions with the President

He added the President had refused the request and asked to carry out the debate as scheduled.

“In such a scenario, the PM must have been desperate and trying to delay the Parliamentary session. Sources say that the UNP members are in an attempt to delay it at least until the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. We urged the Speaker to stand his ground and not to let detractors delay the session,” Gammanpila said.  (Sheain Fernandopulle)

    BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 03 April 2018 05:15 PM

    I strongly feel even tho this fellow is a male, he gets his menstrual cycle every week. He simply is a confused state at all times.

    Annurr Tuesday, 03 April 2018 11:04 PM

    Buffalo is thinking like that.

    Ex-Voters Tuesday, 03 April 2018 05:45 PM

    That was how you fellows worked. Anyway, now that you are aware of the plans, why don't you keep the doors to the parliament closed!!!

    gemba Tuesday, 03 April 2018 06:13 PM

    Feeling nervous?

    Manu Tuesday, 03 April 2018 08:02 PM

    UNP was telling they could defeat. Now what is this? Shameless.

    VJ Tuesday, 03 April 2018 08:22 PM

    You are so cheap and desperate.

    Dayan Tuesday, 03 April 2018 08:26 PM

    Find a hideout now itself.

    Dhammika Tuesday, 03 April 2018 08:32 PM

    What SABOTAGE ! . If you JOkers have a majority you JOkers will win the NCM . Otherwise you will loose . Since you guys CANNOT Accept defeat NOW you JOKers are panicking and giving wild excises .

    mad dog Tuesday, 03 April 2018 09:02 PM

    Udaya, don't tell us you and your previous people were honest to us. You all are the same lot. I don't think Ranil is good leader. After all he protected the Rajapakses for that you have to be grateful to him. I am I right.

    indimurray Tuesday, 03 April 2018 09:23 PM

    this guy is a big problem for Srilanka.he is fabricating and spreading lies to mislead the country.

    Warren Raed Wednesday, 04 April 2018 12:30 PM

    Anil Tuesday, 03 April 2018 09:28 PM

    Doesn't this fool know that it is the speaker who decides on the date.

    WISE DONKEY Tuesday, 03 April 2018 10:53 PM

    Before their defeat finding excuses. No doubt Ranil will show you the bamboo!

    Lakminiha Tuesday, 03 April 2018 11:02 PM

    First try to find out where your chief has gone without signing the NCM.
