Cross over cross talk in Parliament

• Only MPs such as Kiriella and Sajith Premadasa will remain with the SJB as all others will cross over shortly

MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage, who predicted a mass crossover of SJB MPs to government, threw a challenge at Chief Opposition Whip Lakshman Kiriella requesting him to resign from his parliamentary seat if the crossover takes place.   

 Only MPs such as Kiriella and Sajith Premadasa will remain with the SJB as all others will cross over shortly,” Aluthgamage said.  

 “No one will cross over from SJB,” Kiriella shot back.  

“Are you prepared to resign from your seat when the crossover takes place,” Aluthgamage responded.  
“Cross over talk is false,” Kiriella said.
