Parliament sessions were suspended for five minutes due to a tense situation.

The tense situation arose due to an argument between Minister Chamal Rajapaksa and SJB MP Sarath Fonseka, who said that he was not allowed to attend Parliament as an MP when Chamal Rajapaksa was the Speaker in parliament. (AS & YP)

In the mean time people are suffering. Do they know there is a crisis/pandemy?

Those undemocratic matters must be taken to UNHRC rather than fighting as Mahinda did after the JVP insurgence.

we voted for Hon. Respected President Gotabaya to power, since we had the confidence that he will have a discipline Government with educated, honest and disciplined ministers to show examples to all other parties and the nation and show a difference, but sad to say things are getting worst day by day, parliament being a disgrace to our country and not having a strong independent Speaker.
