President Maithripala Sirisena has requested the United National Front (UNF) leaders to remove clause 1 of the motion which was submitted to Parliament on Wednesday and to present it again on Friday, President’s Media Division said.

The President has conveyed this when Speaker Karu Jayasuriya, MPs of parties representing the United National Front and the Tamil National Alliance met him at the Presidential Secretariat last evening.

At the meeting, the President has requested all those present to conduct the vote by name call and to show their majority in the House in a proper manner.

The discussion, that lasted for more than two hours, centred on the current political situation in the country where it was stressed by both the UNF and the TNA that they command the majority in the house and they requested the President to accept this position.

The President emphasized that he always acts according to the Constitution and to safeguard it. He urged all parties present in Parliament to maintain peace within the chamber and act according to democratic procedures and respect standing orders.

    Ranil and his clan dont have time to follow procedures.

    Other way round - MS and MR have broken all laws and cast aside morality in this exercise.

    Arthur Thursday, 15 November 2018 11:07 PM

    Some sense at last and at what cost to the country.

    You act according to the constitution and safe guard it? What a load of scrap. You acted outside of it and cause so much of chaos and disharmony. There is hardly any need to remove Clause 1, you remove all your ill advised, illegal gazette notifications which of late had been as frequent as your calls of nature!

    Sarath Thursday, 15 November 2018 11:23 PM

    MR and Jokers sacrificed. I thought they said,MR MS union was unbreakable. Ha! Ha!

    Please don't eat hoppers to night - or the situation may change tomorrow.

    Soam Friday, 16 November 2018 09:38 AM

    Creator of the constitutional mayhem and the democracy slayer, now acting as peacemaker. Pathetic behaviour.

    anonymous Friday, 16 November 2018 10:01 AM

    When UNF gets back power today , make Sarath Fonseka Minister of Law and order.

    Dhammika Friday, 16 November 2018 11:22 AM

    SLOW motion OR LOOSE motion .

    Yahapala Friday, 16 November 2018 01:22 PM

    One and only person who can never ever trust in Sri Lanka.
