Colombo, Sept. 11 (Daily Mirror) - A tense situation continued in Parliament after Leader of the House Bimal Ratnayake called opposition MPs 'Lapai Sipai' and opposition MPs started a protest against him.

The Opposition MPs urged the leader of the House to withdraw his statement.

The Speaker announced that he has ordered the words to be expunged from the Order Paper.

Minister Ratnayake said the Opposition MPs often use unparliamentarily language on the Speaker and that they never withdraw such words.

Opposition used these words to describe you, when you were in Gun Power during 89/90.

And why are they following up with the ridiculous no comfid motion anyway. Why our opposition can't raise issues with SME restructuring, which is way too slow. This is why people are not keen. Nonsense, no actual output from the opposition.

Well done Bimal. We are from Ananda College and do not bow to "Lapai Sipai". The great pillars at Ananda College and vibrating with pride. We have the blessing from the Ananada Vihara.

There is no surprise, as usual the big talk big headed Transport minister is just wasting time while road accidents are doaring. Today 3 busses collided. Everyday there is mayhem on roads but this guy has no sense of responsibility other than gossip and hatred statements.
