Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardene denied informing the party leaders that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is ready to resign if the leaders of political parties request him to do so.
"There is a report circulating on social media that I have informed party leaders of President's willingness to resign if they ( party leaders) make a request," he said.
This caused an uproar as Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa reiterated that Speaker informed the party leaders of President's vwillingness to resign. " I am not a fool to distort what you said. Don't deny your statement. You are a Tom Pachaya( blatant lier)" Mr. Premadasa said.
"It is you who are coming up with Tom pacha ( blatant lie)," the Speaker shot back.
"I only said President is ready to handover the government to anyone who commands majority," the Speaker added.
Chief Opposition Whip Lakshman Kiriella also confirmed that the Speaker did say so (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa can't just resign and go home. His immunity should be revoked and must be taken to court for the crimes he has committed. (far too many to mention) The rest of his life might spend in Welikada.

This speaker is a joker.

Why? If the president wish to resign, no need to show majority by the opposition. He can do so. All the people asked him to resign. That is more than enough.

Both are not the best but Sajith is far better than the other

Obviously, somebody is lying as usual. No one is doing a damn thing to "solve" the people's problems. No one is going after the "loots". How long does this game go?
