"The Speaker's condcut in the case of appointing Deshabandu Tennakoon as the IGP is in violation of the Constitution.The Speaker can vote only in case of a tie.

Waste of time approaching local justice system. Best that you go to the International Court of Justice to seek a proper verdict for all of these unconstitutional acts. Same for the online bill as well..

If the Speaker has any decency left in him, he should resign immediately without waiting for the NCM to be presented. He has violated the constitution on many occassions and is not suitable to hold this noble position any more. He has not acted independently as required, but has been a stooge of Ranil and the Government. Shame on you Speaker for bringing disrepute to the chair. REGIGN NOW.

In our country the constitution is used only for their advantage and other times it does not exist.

Better all opposition resign from parliament and let zero heros life line unaccountable under democracy. Election to elect many persons is more important than the election to elect one man but former is not favourable for many until their big boss is somehow seated. Aba saranai SL.
