While highlighting the importance of an impartial probe on the Channel  4 video clip, the main opposition party Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) said one of their MPs should head the select committee which is expected to be appointed to look into the disclosures made by the British TV channel.

The request came from SJB General Secretary MP  Ranjith Madduma Bandara and Member of Parliament Nalin Bandara Jayamaha who held a media briefing today. (Yohan Perera)

    The select committee head should be one of the Members of the TNA. The minorities are always sidelined. Let’s see justice.

    If C4 not trustworthy why they worry about. International probe what is requested.

    Chairman would have to be independent figure

    Are you crazy?

    SJB request is fair and reasonable, if truth to be revealed "Fiat justi-tiaru-atcealum", "Let justice be done even heavens fall on you ".

    Now if and when it is offered- please don’t back off saying- ‘we will accept it after winning an election’ !!

    SJB is unsuitable give to more capable party's MP Tuesday, 12 September 2023 07:07 PM

    Easter bombings happened under UNP yahapalanaya government, which is were most SJB came from. SJB has conflict of interest in this, and will try to hide about the truth and negligence of their MPs.

    They always demand for positions before implementing and try to delay the process. Cheap politics SJB

    1st SJB said only international investigators. Then came down to local investigation is okay if Shani is heading it. Now they are okay with RW's committee as long the SJB is heading it.

    Sajja withdraw his presidential race on July 2022 and pledged the support to Dalla....so i don't see any differences between the party of sajja and party of Dalla

    Wild Goose Tuesday, 12 September 2023 10:36 PM

    Give the chairmanship to Sajith and make him walk the talk

    Seen a comment proposing TNA to be given the Chairmanship of the committee. This will be a disaster, as minorities can be easily bought by offering sweeteners, 13A plus, ministerial posts etc.

    SJB is useless. They don't have a strategy.

    Pissu Wednesday, 13 September 2023 09:11 PM

    Are you support for JVP?

    Buddhist Wednesday, 13 September 2023 06:26 AM

    Do you think the bias Speaker will agree to that? No way. Speaker has violated the constitution and the standing orders numerous times abd he is the worst speaker SL ever had.

    Devaka Wednesday, 13 September 2023 04:52 PM

    Looking to make it a political circus?

    Cholmondeley Pinto Wednesday, 13 September 2023 07:29 PM

    SJB wants to be the main actors in a new drama series.

    Pissu Wednesday, 13 September 2023 09:11 PM

    Are you JVP?

    No offense, most of "T" doctors are rude in my experience even in Colombo.
