Video: Over 60 sign no-confidence motion against PM - Dullas

UPFA MP Dullas Alahapperuma said today the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe so far signed by more than 60 MPs including 14 ministers, deputy ministers and state ministers would be handed over to the Speaker next week.

He said they were sure to receive the support of a majority of MPs and that it would be significant being the only no-confidence motion submitted against a prime minister with a majority in parliament supporting it.

“Only two no-confidence motions have been submitted against some former Prime Ministers but the two motions were defeated on a majority vote,” Mr. Alahapperuma said.

He said the no-confidence motion will state the fact that he was a prime minister with a minority support in parliament and had allegedly caused a crisis in the national economy.

Mr. Alahapperuma said it was time for the SLFPers who joined the government to take a stand if they really love and are loyal to the party just like the four ministers who resigned their portfolios.

He said their resignations were influenced by the dissolution of local government bodies.
“The SLFPers should be loyal to the party at a time when its image is being tarnished or its unity is at risk,” Mr. Alahapperuma said.

He said the traditional relationship between the UNP and the SLFP earlier likened to that between an elephant and a goad is now being likened to an elephant and a wood apple. (Ajith Siriwardana)

    Hi Sharon. For your information all votes declare confidence in a person, a political, or some important issue(s). Otherwise seeking a vote is meaningless. It is not easy to imagine someone in sane mind voting for a issue or person in whom he(she) does not have confidence. My advise to you is please refrain from displaying your ignorance in public.

    clifford Friday, 22 May 2015 06:18 PM

    When someone does good things with good intention these things will crop up, especially those who had the habit of corruption and I really don;t understand why there should be no confidence motion against the PM.

    DSR Friday, 22 May 2015 06:11 PM

    You are correct!!!

    CITIZEN Friday, 22 May 2015 05:31 PM

    These MR backlickers have nothing else to do - move No-confidence motions against this one and that one; bark and bray inside and outside Parliament, sleep on the floor of the Parliament chamber and behave like beasts in the Parliament! People voted for these fellows should receive Oscars for foolishness!!!!

    Sharon Friday, 22 May 2015 05:00 PM

    Premalal. Do you understand the difference between a vote and a No confidence motion? Best thing is to keep silent if you are not sure about what you are talking about.

    Sharon Friday, 22 May 2015 04:58 PM

    You all are defeated by the people and trying to grab power using the President! Please keep in mind that president was appointed by the people not the majority of the jokers in parliament! Days are numbered for these 60 people to rest home permanently!

    It seems nothing has gone into the pockets of SLFP/UPFA MPs and Ministers since last 5 months, they have become jittery and behaving in an unpatriotic and undemocratic way. Hope these type of politicians will not be returned to parliament after elections by voters of their respective areas.

    riz Friday, 22 May 2015 02:44 PM

    You have been through by people. You should know who is a real treat to unity of any party, that z MR, now he z mentally subnormal. Not only political parties ,but he a treat to unity of whole country. ..

    Dull Ass. The more you struggle on behalf of your insatiable boss (sic MR), the more he will sink into the quicksand, and hopefully perish politically.
