TNA MP MA Sumanthiran said they could not support the no confidence motion against the government unless it is certain what would happen after winning the no-confidence motion.

He told the Daily Mirror that their primary demand was the President to step down first as most of the people were calling for it.

"It is the President who was totally responsible for the present crisis situation. He should step down first," he said.

Mr. Sumanthiran said after winning the no-confidence motion, it would only be yet another cabinet reshuffle without any expected changes.

He said they had not even seen the no-confidence motion as yet and that no one had discussed it with them.

The opposition had discussed the 21st Amendment to the Constitution and that they would unconditionally support it so as to scrap the executive presidency.

MP Udaya Gammanpila today said the TNA was also supporting the no-confidence motion and that they had the support of 120 MPs.(Ajith Siriwardana)

    All political parties are playing their games for their own greed but don't give to hoots for the people or the country.

    Why? Worried about your winning if the parliament was dissolved? Gotta alone cannot be blamed for the present crisis, the entire government is accountable for this mess. Get rid of the government. Don't prop for petty benefits.

    Gommanpila always misleads people

    This must be on India’s instructions. India wants to ensure this Government remains in power to get more control our Country on the pretext of helping. This Government will sell the Country to remain in power.

    The present president helped Sumanthiran to become an MP by cutting the throat of Mrs Raviraj

    These TNA guys are a disgrace and never do anything useful. That is why SL should take this opportunity to get rid of these ethnic and religious parties. All political parties should only be mainstream ones, not based on ethnicity or religion. This should apply to Sinhala and Buddhism as well. Country can't progress on these self centred stupid policies. Hello!, is anyone listening?

    Hubert Congreve Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:51 AM

    TNA at a crucial stage you guys will have to support NCM and throw the Rajapakshe regime, instead you guys playing hanky panky games.

    Prof. V. Kanagalingam Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:54 AM

    Your thinking is completely wrong Sumanthiran's, Gota or Mahinda will just step down unless legally NCM is on, forget about everything and support guys.

    Ravi Viswalingam from Jaffna Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:56 AM

    If SLPP and Rajapakshe family should be thrown out, TNA should support the NCM, no other way.

    We honour the wisest comment of Mr.Sumanthirsn and do stand with him!!!
