Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said today the no-confidence motion against the government was delayed following a request made by him.

He said this when Leader of the House Dinesh Gunawardena asked as to why the opposition didn't bring in the no-confidence motion against the government as planned earlier.

"The opposition said that they would bring in the no-confidence motion against the government. It is Friday today. Why it is not presented as said?," he asked.

Mr. Wickremesinghe said that it was absurd brining in the no-confidence motion before the speech of the finance minister who is in Washington to engaged in discussions with the IMF.

"I requested to delay the NCM. It would serve no purpose brining in the NCM before the Finance Minister's speech. We can get together and discuss what should be done after his speech," he said. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

    Well Done Wickremasinghe... now you are talking with a lot of sense. I never supported you, but I will do it the next time around.

    Ha, ha ha. Some people never learn.

    Jamis Banda Friday, 22 April 2022 06:01 PM

    He has connections with the government (also called a spy)

    K. Ranaweera Friday, 22 April 2022 06:05 PM

    No one can compete with his political sagacity.

    Sam Silva Friday, 22 April 2022 06:06 PM

    The so called speech is from the unofficial finance minister and not from imf officials. This is nothing to do what you have claimed.

    Those who say they don't want Gota and Mahinda, do they want Sajith ?

    He is also should share part of the responsibility for the current state of the country. Selfish Politician who always thought about self before country.

    Chris Friday, 22 April 2022 06:48 PM

    I think he makes lot of sense now. If only he could talk to the common man in a simple manner. Country's loss that he never became President of SL

    May be only person in the parliament who is genuinely concerned about finding a workable solution to come of this mess

    He always had a vision and plan. But our corrupted politicians, media and government officials always gave a negative impact on him. He never played for the gallery.

    Banda Friday, 22 April 2022 07:24 PM

    A stooge of the rajapaskes!

    Ganesh Friday, 22 April 2022 07:30 PM

    Never liked him. The best man to never had led the country.

    Malij Friday, 22 April 2022 07:36 PM

    N SENA Friday, 22 April 2022 07:36 PM
