COLOMBO (Daily Mirror) - State Minister Sanath Nishantha formally apologized to Speaker of Parliament Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena for his recent disruptive conduct within the House.
He conveyed his apology in a letter addressed to the Speaker. MP Nishantha expressed regret for his actions during the parliamentary session on Tuesday, November 21. He openly acknowledged that his behavior was inappropriate and should not have transpired in the esteemed legislative setting.
The State Minister further contended that the decision to hold him solely accountable for the entire incident, while sparing Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa and SJB MP Nalin Bandara from any punitive measures, amounts to a violation of his parliamentary privileges.
The repercussions of this incident were pronounced on Wednesday, November 22, as Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena officially suspended Parliamentarian Sanath Nishantha for a two-week period. The suspension followed a thorough evaluation of the unruly behavior exhibited by Nishantha during the parliamentary proceedings.

This is a joke. The current speaker being a slave of SLPA has compromised the parliament standards.

What more can we expect from Sanath Nishantha and more tugs in the parliament no wonder massas have to undergo all the suffering due to rowdy behavior of our parliamentarians.

Is that it? In proper countries, such thugs are banned from politics for life.

He has to apologize to opposition leader,even though he deliberately did it
Sambo Thursday, 23 November 2023 07:46 PM
Very good. Remember parliament is not a playground. Minister should keep their respect, use civilized language and behave with responsibility.

This will not be the last time this thug performs these types of stunts. Next time he does it the Speaker should have the guts to suspend him for double the period he has been given this time.

This man earns notoriety for thuggish behaviour. There was a case against him for Contempt of Court and we know that it was postponed many times. What was the final decision ? No prison sentence ?

Nishantha not fit to be to represent public at all and should have expelled for good .

Such are the people nominated to contest elections by this very party leader. Not only Sarath Nishantha but Jhonstan, et al are there in the parliament, who should have otherwise been in jail.

Minister , I know you will not understand this logic,but 'Silence is golden ' at certain times.You made your apology and Don't implicate others for your unruly behaviour.

The current Speaker of Parliament is a contributor to the state of conduct of members in Parliament due to his partiality. He also needs to be censured.
Russel Harmmer Friday, 24 November 2023 09:34 AM
Mr. Speaker, the punishment you gave for this dirty 3rd class Kassippu Vendor is not enough. He should not be allowed to step into the Parliament for another six months.

Mr. Speaker the whole world was watching this incident and shame of you cannot handle him and giving him a short term to enter parliament. How about Miris Kudu fellow from Kelaniya? No punishment for him.
R.B. Senanayake [Attorney-at-law] Friday, 24 November 2023 09:51 AM
What is the qualification he has to be a state minister Mr. Ranil? He has two qualifications only (1) No. one illicit liquor agent in Chilaw (2) No. one rowdy, thug. and womanizer in his area. This is the truth.
KAMIL Friday, 24 November 2023 10:00 AM
The whole world knows about his behavior. As long as Rajapakse is live hw willbe a thug May rajapakse protect him.
