Ranil criticizes the Speaker

Tuesday, 06 April 2010 11:46

Opposition and UNP leader Ranil Wickramasingha criticized Speaker W.J.M Lokubandara in Parliament this morning for failing to respond to letters sent by him on two new UNP members who were to take oaths today.

However responding to this, Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva said Parliament was convened today to extend the emergency and not for any other matter.

The speaker is not impartial. He is dancing to the tune of the Government to get a National list slot

Come on Ranil. By now you should know that mere writing of letters will get you nowhere in trying to sort out national problems.

He is under the payroll, how could he speak

-60+15 # Guest 2010-04-06 12:20

I wonder if it would be the other way around Asoka.

-13+54 # Guest 2010-04-06 15:19

Well Asoka, its interesting to see that your comments are received negatively by the readers, so i guess YOU are the born looser!

The sad thing is the traditions that we thought inviolable are getting dishonoured one by one. And to boot, WJM who has been boasting about the Sacred Sri Lankan history, is the transgressor.

Asoka R will see who is hiding behind Ranil after the general election.Ranil will be the Prime minister.And the President will be SF.

Our Speaker is a true Buddhist and who is following Dhamma in his work (People can see now).

-1+11 # Guest 2010-04-06 12:53

This is not a parliament it is a private of house.

Remember the drama you had in the Parliament , Mr. Wickremesinghe, when you wanted to appoint him the Speaker? Now do you understand you took a wrong decision that day?

-2+7 # Guest 2010-04-06 13:01

Crux of the matter: two people missed the opportunity to be MPs for two days and be beneficiaries of salary + perks for one month!

-1+14 # Guest 2010-04-06 13:13

Get these fellows out Ranil and you start to rule. We wait for that day.
