While claiming that silence itself was a voice, Industry Minister Wimal Weerawansa said there was no change in their stance in allowing dual citizens to enter Parliament.

The Minister told reporters that they expressed their objections to the matter concerning dual citizenship in the 20th Amendment to the Constitution and that their stance remained unchanged.

He said they did not protest against Basil Rajapaksa or any other entering Parliament.

Responding to a question, Weerawansa said it was important if Basil Rajapaksa could win the economic challenges.

“We don’t know if he could overcome the economic challenges. If he can do so, it will be vital,” he said.

Public vehemently objecting, suppose even Gota may not agree, but his softness toward his younger brother is even heavier than that

If silence itself is a voice, he should observe it at ALL times.

Protesting and voting for all the amendments. Reaping the comforts and the benefits that accrue by remaining with the government. All 225 are the same!

Dual citizens will be allowed to enter parliament because dual citizenship means, Sri Lankan citizen and Port City Citizen.

You did not keep silent but voted for the 20th amendment to protect your perks and privileges.

This man does not understand the difference between silence and a voice. Shows the level of education and understanding.

Even dual identity card holders can enter parliament. It's not restricted to dual citizenship.
