The UNP staged a protest in parliament a short while ago holding up placards against the government budget for 2010. Some government members were seen shouting slogans at the UNP creating a noisy commotion in parliament.gaan mara lanka Tuesday, 29 June 2010 01:11 PM

After the budget Siripala said prices of bread & sugar were increased to curb the increase in diabetes, Does he not eat bread or sugar? Judging from his size,(and the sizes of most of the politicians) the free meals in the parliament - cause not only diabetes, but also cardiac & cholesterol problems. But then of course, politicians get free medical treatment!!!! Some of them enter parliament almost as a skeleton but after a few years - they just bloat up (example Weerawansa) - SO DO THEY ALL ABSTAIN FROM BREAD & SUGAR.

We cannot do anything we have to accept everything the government propose.
Shanil Samarakoon Tuesday, 29 June 2010 10:02 PM
In the very least, the opposition is making the people's reality known to the government, in a tangible way. This budget, much like everything else, seems to be more about consolidating power & wealth and less about actual nation-building.

The war is over, but nothing positive has materialised on the economic front!

UNPers protesting the budget is acceptable; but disturbing the budget-speech, is not. Another session of Parliament, is just a waste of both time and money.
SArath Fernando Tuesday, 29 June 2010 02:12 PM
Fools this is not a Budget its a camerfalage How come Minister Finance not in the country present a budget. Minister incharge is not interested of the Budget, his niterest is how to extend his term

Benifts and taxes are announced in the yearly budjet in good old days. Now things have changed and budject speech is like any other formal speech made by any minister.

Is UNP a Political party?

The hooting and jeering is not only coming from the monkeys in parliament, some of the buffaloes are also beginning to hoot if last weekend in Kandy is anything to go by !
Village lad Tuesday, 29 June 2010 12:29 PM
During last general election some monkeys behaved like donkys in kandy area, hence another by election held.

Not one member of the Opposition has shouted against the increase in the duty free vehicle allowance from 35k to 50k.
Bluff Bluff Tuesday, 29 June 2010 10:57 AM
What else can we expect from this parliament other than noisy commotions?
Gaman Saman Tuesday, 29 June 2010 10:56 AM
This was not a budget speech, it was more of a wish list of what will be done in the next six years. So when there was nothing for the long suffering citizen to smile about for tomorrow the opposition reflected it in the only way they can under the present rules, that is howling inside the chamber, as doing so outside would get them arrested under the PTA
malkanthi Tuesday, 29 June 2010 10:50 AM
Enough preaching the budget, we want action on Pre-Election promises!!!!
Rasika Tuesday, 29 June 2010 10:49 AM
Both parties are acting as "Monkeys". no tangible outcome happened at the today's' parliament. It is utter waste of time and public money
SUMINA Tuesday, 29 June 2010 10:44 AM
AT LEAST THE 'MONKEYS' ARE VOICING THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE SUFFERING PEOPLE SINCE THE SO CALLED HUMANOIDS ARE ONLY WORKING FOR THE PRIVILEGED !
