United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MP Malani Fonseka accused Deputy Minister of Justice Sujeewa Senasinghe of abusive remarks even involving her personal life.

She, at a press conference, called by the UPFAs pressing for a change in the opposition leader post, said it was unbecoming of the Deputy Justice Minister to make such insulting remarks at a woman MP.

The verbal attack took place during the tense situation erupted in the House after cross talks over the opposition leader post.

Besides, other party leaders such as Vasudeva Nanayakkara also condemned this incident

Meanwhile Deputy Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe today denied the claim made by MP Malini Fonseka that she was verbally abused by him inside the chambers.

"It was Ms. Fonseka who used unparliamentary language on me and called me names. I did not respond following the advice given to me by some of my Parliamentary colleagues," He said.

The deputy minister said he is ready to face any inquiry on the matter. (Kelum Bandara and Yohan Perera)
