That is the past. But your present behavior is cause for no confidence.

I love watching Sri Lankan politicians. You don't have to watch Teledramas or go to a circus.

Speaker to come out with a pack of lies. If he was pressured to become President he would have done it or come out with that at that time. Credibility is gone when it is this late

The biggest sychophant and worst speaker we have ever had. Such a disgrace to the men of class e.g Stanley Tillekaratne, Anura Bandaranaike and more classy people before them.

Some sort of game Monday, 18 March 2024 05:22 PM

It clearly shows where this country is heading. If the speaker wants to divulge anything, has he got to give advanced notice? Just go ahead and do it. Is this fellow trying some sort of game to hide the truth? Is he trying to negotiate something with someone so that he could decide how to twist his story.

The Speaker is a crook and has no self respect. He waited so long to make this statement re: Aragalaya. This clearly shows he is not suitable to be the Speaker.

Citizen2023 Monday, 18 March 2024 06:05 PM

Worst speaker we have had ever since we recd independence. He is bias towards ruling party and his handling of parliament is very unprofessional. Lethargic individual. Hence motion against him by the opposition should be voted in favour. He has lost the respect of majority of MPs and sometimes acts like a clown. He should be asked to resigns before thrown out of politics.

There is nothing to revel. The public knows exactly what happened.

who cares for his SLPP story. The main thing is....Gota was chased away and lot of SLPP fellows were taught a good lesson. That's enough. We do not want to listen to your crap.

Api thamay Hondata Koray! Tuesday, 19 March 2024 09:41 AM

Hey Joshua! Gota was not only chased, but was hounded to the end by an Iron Lady equivalent to all 225 MPs. Now Gota is trying to salvage his image by blaming Shavendra Silva and an ex army man for not protecting him. As usual he is trying to rabble rouse by naming a minority race for relentlessly chasing him.

You are not able to reveal the master mind behind the Easter attack even after many years passed, but ready to reveal the aragalaya details. Election gimmicks

No use after breaching the supreme constitution. Announce your resignation after admitting the same. That's more than sufficient.
