The State of Emergency was extended by a month in parliament a short while ago with 132 voting for and 14 voting against it. The TNA and 2 UNP members voted against it while UNP MP Abdul Cader voted in favour. The remaining UNP members as well as the DNA were not present during the vote as they had staged a walkout from Parliament earlier. (KB & GC)
