Composition in Parliament don't represent true desires of people: AKD
Claiming that the composition of Parliament did not represent the true desire of the people, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake reiterated that an opportunity should be given for a new mandate as there was no genuineness for any form of government established in the current Parliament.
He told Parliament that the composition which is shown through numbers in Parliament was not the real composition in the ground.
"There is a huge contradiction between the desire of the people outside and the Parliament," he said.
He said they always stood for an interim government for a short period of time headed by a President and a Prime Minister who had no future political agendas.
He said however, they faied to come to a consensus desipte discussions with several political parties.
Dissanayake alleged that MPs have been bought over this time also just as in the past.
"When I saw the number of parties extended support for Dullas Alahapperuma, I thought he would recieve more than 113 votes. It is now clear that the members in the political parties do not always stay with the policies of the parties. We have a past where MPs were sold for money. This situation is also the same," he said.
