A commission would be appointed to look into the alleged undemocratic actions taken by the Speaker, the Parliament General Secretary and the Sergeant-at-Arms when they are elected to office, MP Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena said today.

Addressing a news briefing, he alleged the Speaker, the Parliament General Secretary and the Sergeant-at-Arms had acted in violation of the Constitution, the Standing Orders and the Parliamentary tradition.

“They should be held responsible for the commotion created in Parliament. If the Speaker had acted in line with the Standing orders and the Parliamentary tradition, recent tense situations in Parliament would have not been created,” the MP said.

He said the Sergeant-at-Arms had also not acted in a responsible manner in carrying the mace into parliament on the day when the Speaker entered parliament from a side door.

“The recent Parliamentary sessions were not held in a legal manner and that’s why we thought of boycotting the sessions. It was apparent that Speaker Karu Jayasuriya was very much partial to the UNP and always trying to act according to the tunes of the UNP,” he added. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

    You don't attend parliament because your actual numbers would be exposed!

    Open a commission to analyse how MR got screwed by MS without any feelings.

    First make sure you all are in the government before talking about appointing a commission.

    They should be held responsible for the commotion created in Parliament. This is what children say when caught by a master. Always someone else - not me sir, not I sir. How puerile these morons can be. Good for Kamburupitiya, I suppose.

    Commission must be appointed to inquire into the conduct of your MPs in the parliament. People regret for electing you all as their Memebrs/Representatives.

    Wise Donkey Thursday, 06 December 2018 10:46 PM

    What about a commission to inquire into the chili powder attack in the house and the damage caused to the properties of the house? You are deaf and blind or in blinkers. Stupid fellow,

    You must be expelled from the parliament for boycotting sessions through fear of facing the opposition. Go ahead and appoint a commission for that will you

    Nimal Friday, 07 December 2018 01:44 PM

    If you had the majority why this?

    Mickey Mouse Friday, 07 December 2018 02:48 PM

    How can the speaker be criticized . He has been nothing short of courageous in his actions. As for being biased thats rubbish. In any debate someone will always be accused of bias. ..Its about democratic decisions. Mr speaker people salute you.

    Mickey Mouse Friday, 07 December 2018 02:53 PM

    This is the most decisive moment for Sri Lanka since independence.Make no mistake about that. If democracy is defeated now then God help Mother Lanka. When people like this make comments about the courageous speaker we have much to fear.

    Yasantha Friday, 07 December 2018 03:27 PM
