Colombo, March 20 (Daily Mirror) - Parliament went into chaos after Minister of Justice Harshana Nanayakkara showed his middle finger to MP Ajith P. Perera who raised an oral question.

The uproar broke out when MP Perera protested when the Minister wanted two weeks to submit an answer.

The MP wanted to raise a point of order but Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne who responded ruled there was no point of order in it.

"The MPs must behave," the Speaker said.

That is a good gesture for a man like Ajith , who always come out with rubbish wasting time and money of the country.

Ajith P said he came to Parliamentary sittings at a great cost. Whether great cost or small cost no one should contest unless they are prepared to sacrifice their time money
