SJB MPs will boycott Parliament continuously if Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardene fails to ensure their security, MP Mujibur Rahman said yesterday. 

Rahman told Daily Mirror that SJB MPs will continue to boycott Parliament  if the Speaker fails to provide them with security.” We will attend sessions only if the Speaker informs us that our security is confirmed. Mr. Rahman who also held a press conference at the Opposition leader’s office said MPs representing his party decided to walk out as some of the government MPs tried to assault MP Manusha Nanayakkara in the lobby on Saturday. “ We regret the failure by the Speaker to penalize those MPs who misbehave. “ Even our government failed to take action against MPs who misbehaved during the previous rule,” he said.
