The No-Confidence Motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe should be debated immediately if UNP was not afraid of it and had confidence to defeat it, National Freedom Front (NFF) Leader Wimal Weerawansa challenged today.

He said if the government was requesting a special date in Parliament to make decisions on the Constitutional Council, it should also request for a day for the debate on No-Confidence Motion against the Premier.

“We also urge the Speaker to allow the debate on No-Confidence Motion without delay, hopefully on Tuesday (9) or during this week. Moving for other Parliamentary affairs ignoring the No-Confidence Motion is not appropriate. The government had neglected the faith put in by people who voted for it and that is why the government is facing this motion today,” Mr. Weerawansa told a news conference held at Abhayaramaya in Colombo.

Very Well said bro, what can people like Wimal do when they get out of politics? so they try their best to play in the minds of the naive people.

Rnil won the confidence of the voters of the country but not of the large numbers of rogues and hypocrites in the Parliament. That is the sad part of this.

Handipora Monday, 08 June 2015 06:15 PM

We all know what Wimal Weerawansa and his friends are scared of. Government knows very well that you bullies have the majority in Parliament and also they know the motive behind bringing a no confidence motion at this stage. Your sinister motive is very clear to all. There is no bigger fool than Wimal if he thinks that the Government would bring up the no-confidence motion at this stage. Everyone knows what will happen. So best is for Wimal to have his gab closed otherwise he is going to lose whatever the little support he has. So preserve them till the GE is called.

You wait and see peoplewill give the answer.

Fassey Monday, 08 June 2015 04:17 PM

Who cares Wimal just scamming all the time.

Bala Monday, 08 June 2015 02:47 PM

Who the hell does he think he is to ask all these from the govt. Someone must really do something to shut this nobody up - preferably quickly dispose of the cases of his corruption.

Boo Monday, 08 June 2015 04:06 PM

Are you really afraid of Sujeewa Serasinghe? Everybody says...

sirimal Monday, 08 June 2015 03:54 PM

Yahapala Monday, 08 June 2015 03:33 PM

No confidence of a Prime Minister is a serious thing and PM should be able to show he could won-enough confidence within the house. Whole country is eagerly watching whether Wimal is right in this point..

upali Monday, 08 June 2015 03:27 PM

Govt. is really scared for 20th amendment and No-confidence motion as well.

Arjuna Ranawana Monday, 08 June 2015 03:24 PM

Hon. MP. first clean you and your wife name before the asking date for no confidence motion.

Labby Monday, 08 June 2015 02:50 PM

All voices and decisions concerning the UPFA are now only at this Abhayaramaya. That place has become their party headquarters now. People who never went to a temple are now living there.
