A tense situation erupted in Parliament a short while ago resulting in the suspension of the sitting for 15 minutes.

Government and opposition MPs caused uproar when Government MP Susil Premajayantha once again brought up the issue of a statement given by UNP Deputy Leader Karu Jayasuriya to a weekend newspaper. (KB/YP)

    suwantha Wednesday, 08 December 2010 07:51 AM

    full blame should be taken by the people of srilanka who voted these ignorants

    wahoo Wednesday, 08 December 2010 07:37 AM

    Lets forget about any other country in this instance and focus on democracy in Lanka... I guess the big ego's are hurt after the oxford fiasco...

    Probably they have nothing else creative to be done. What with almost all Govt MP's being Minister, Deputy Minister or Senior Minister to ensure they remain in that post and to create "value" they should do something.
    The problem is also the oppostion is not properly explaining their position to the public and those troublesome opposition Ministers or MP's.

    The government os trying to cover their mistakes by focussing our attention elsewhere.. It is disgraceful the way the ministers behave.. There needs to be an overhaul in democracy.. Read Karu's statement- it is an apt and sound statement with NO mention on war crimes... How things are twisted.. It is a shame we live in a country of autocratic rule.. Karu hope you stand up to this nonsence..

    Blind fools fighting each other in parliament while one family gets more powerful each day. Who in that house can justify where the increased budget for defence is really for?

    karu Wednesday, 08 December 2010 07:20 AM

    Judging by the recent events,sweetheart, freedom of speech does not seem to exist even in (not so Great) Britain, the so called mecca of democracy!

    marcus Wednesday, 08 December 2010 07:04 AM

    All these appear to be to obtain a better Ministry from the President

    Kanthi Wednesday, 08 December 2010 07:01 AM

    There are many important pending issues to be addressed. Parliament sessions are wasting money and time.

    manjula jayawardana Wednesday, 08 December 2010 06:49 AM

    those who are behaving like this, they don't have even good family life @ home, there are so many problems in the country, country in a terrible situation, but they are blind eye to whole problems, there not bothered ...people have to suffer & sacrifice in many ways..what to do..if there is good leadership we can have a more faith in future..now country has gone to the DOG...

    These folk need severe psycho-therapy. Instead of governing the country they need their heads examined.

    K.PARAMANATHAN Wednesday, 08 December 2010 06:45 AM

    The always prevails in the parliament and nowhere else. Therefore parliament is the battle ground. In other words parliamentarians are restless they need counseling and should go through psychiatric treatment. Especially for the ruling party MPs.

    Velusumana Wednesday, 08 December 2010 06:19 AM

    Fire the whole lot.

    mohammed Wednesday, 08 December 2010 05:46 AM

    Nothing like shouting and fighting !!

    sinnan Wednesday, 08 December 2010 05:40 AM

    It's a pool of fools

    Bridie Wednesday, 08 December 2010 05:32 AM

    They say Sri Lanka has functional democracy. Isn’t it still at infancy stage, although it has passed a good number of calendar years? Grow up you bunch of idxxxs!!!

    Your Sweetheart Wednesday, 08 December 2010 05:32 AM

    is this a sign of destroying democracy by silencing the opposition? Govt. should not forget the utter humiliation brought on to our country by WW's antics when he exceeded his right of free speech.
