Justice Minister, Aluthgamage resorting to unconscionable conduct: Speaker
Minister of Justice Wijedasa Rajapaksha and MP Mahindananda Althugamage have resorted to unconscionable conduct by calling for mob aggression and agreeing to participate in such aggression against the Constitutional Council, Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena ruled today.
“The Minister of Justice chose to make baseless allegations in the House against the Constitutional Council which were forthwith repeated by Mahindananda Aluthgamage. Both members of the House made reference to the political developments of 2022 and to the demands by the people of Sri Lanka for a ‘system change.’ I would like to remind the Members that the'system change’ they asked for was also one in which the people expect their representatives to act honourably, in good faith, with reason and in the best interests of the people. Making baseless allegations against a constitutional body, calling on the people to surround the houses of the members of the Council and most seriously, agreeing to join the people when they surround the houses of the members is unconscionable, unethical and could easily amount to an abuse of your parliamentary privileges. Please be warned that this House will not stand for such conduct. May I also note that it reflects poorly on a Minister of Justice to attempt to belittle the Constitutional Council,” the Speaker said. (Yohan Perera)
