Speaker threatens to go home

8 December 2010 07:55 am

Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa threatened to suspend Parliament for the entire day and go home unless he is allowed to house sittings professionally.

A tense situation erupted in Parliament earlier in the day 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)
