Speaker Karu Jayasuriya today announced in Parliament that he had decided to delay his ruling on the post of Opposition Leader because of fresh submissions made by some MPs.

The Speaker was supposed to give a ruling on this matter today.

“I have received written submission from some MPs calling for the appointment of a select committee to determine whether those who joined the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) can remain in Parliament as UPFA MPs and on the opposition leader’s post.

I have received a letter from UPFA General Secretary Mahinda Amaraweera on this matter. TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran also sent me a letter earlier and made a fresh submission and therefore I will have to go through all these documents before making a ruling,” the Speaker said.

    Not so, even the president is double-MR is manipulating behind the screen and giving orders to Maithree!

    MR and his followers can cancel their SLPP membership and continue to be PMs. They got the membership of SLPP since the parliamentary was diisolved.

    No need a proposition leader. 51 days moved with out a Premier of this country

    MS and MR have confused our people since Oct 26th with many many issues. This is another issue. On;y God can save us from these two.

    you can have a little fun if, two mahindas from H'tota from different camps, but both in one camp, ultimately what ever it is, you have to go with your proclamation
