Parliament, March 20 (Daily Mirror)- NPP leader and MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake informed Parliament today that he too has decided to resign from the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE).

He told Parliament that it was pointless participating in COPE meetings under the chairmanship of Rohitha Abeygunawardan.

The MP said the current COPE chairman had allegations of fraud and corruption and therefore he decided to resign as a member of the COPE.

Meanwhile, Parliamentarian Duminda Dissanayake has also resigned from the COPE today.

    You all are jealous that Ratharan will create history in the COPE!

    Bandu Wednesday, 20 March 2024 03:39 PM

    Not all of us. Only those that support corruption and looting and getting away with that.

    joshua Wednesday, 20 March 2024 01:31 PM

    Great. The Chairman can now sit and wait.

    Kamal Wednesday, 20 March 2024 01:33 PM

    Ah Ok.

    Bushel Wednesday, 20 March 2024 01:34 PM

    All the credits to Eran

    Who appointed Rohitha? And why? It looks like many influential people are playing with the nation.

    roobarbie Wednesday, 20 March 2024 02:55 PM

    Kaputa must have advised unelected prez to appoint fake raththaran!

    Ram Wednesday, 20 March 2024 04:31 PM

    No problem with all resignations. Captain R A Rattaran will bat for the whole team that includes those who resigned

    Krish Wednesday, 20 March 2024 05:54 PM

    May be he can assualt everyone including the people coming to cope investigations.

    Start a revolution instead of revolving the door on positions in parliament commitees Wednesday, 20 March 2024 07:13 PM

    Current Parliament is dead end. Any vote for the government would see it lose. Even current President is not wanted by a vast majority of the public and that will not change in 2024. Better for those still warming seats there to go outside and start a revolution to rid ourselves of the money eating cancer to the public that the current President and Parliament is. There holding on the there jobs when the public wants them all gone, and leaching off the taxes for the benefits to themselves.

    Great both of them are good for cleaning the roads in nagarasabaha. Anura was also.part of lot of committees during Yahapalanaya with targeting Rajapakse's with false allegations even hoodwinking the judiciary with temple trees mafia

    Puswadilla Thursday, 21 March 2024 04:13 AM

    Why not appoint Kaputa as CChairman? All seem to be thinking that they are scared of their and family, kith and kins belongings.

    Anil Thursday, 21 March 2024 05:46 AM

    What actually those so called brains had done during their leaderships at COPE ? Like to see people resigning from the Parliament, if Rohitha is appointed the speaker.

    Dr Sepala Thursday, 21 March 2024 07:15 AM

    But then Anura D has allegations of murder and destroying of public properties and most recently private houses. Allegations should be proved. If not anybody can say anything against anyone.

    M O Daya Thursday, 21 March 2024 01:18 PM

    So can you prove your baseless allegations against AKD? Everyone is fearing him as he is the most popular.
