The protesters, led by Bandula Gunawardene are sitting on the floor of the chamber, saying that the Bribery Commission of Sri Lanka has no powers to summon former President Mahinda Rajapakse.
They ask the decision to be withdrawn.
Sri Lanka's parliament on Monday was adjourned following a tense situation that irrupted in the chamber with opposition parliamentarians staging a protest.
Lock the doors and let them starve
This is the outcome of the so called Yahaplanaya and its vindictive politics. Investor confidence is at its lowest and the masses have not reaped the so called rewards. The President may well use his legitimate powers and put an end to cheap politicking.
Well said Michael, when will Sirisena and co wake up to this fact and do something before the country goes down the tubes. Not sure whether he understands economics and foreign policy…He seem to be totally focused and driven by CBK and RW to destroy the Rajapakses even at the expense of Sri Lanka’s economy. Real shame for a country that almost shone in the Indian Ocean.
While people with ‘real’ problems; protest in roads under difficult conditions.. these ‘jokers’ are ‘protesting’ in comfort inside the air-conditioned parliament.
Shut the A/c and power. The life of parliament was extended after 9th January to abolished the 18A. However, if the present condition prevails, the president must be encouraged to dissolve the current parliament and hold election under a caretaker government. Under current situation, the investor confidence is low and will continue to deteriorate.
Well i dont see nothing wrong to visit the bribery commission.i mean if there is nothing to hide then i dont see a reason not to go there. but i do accept the statement of the former president stating he has no hidden accounts.
If you have not committed wrong why are you afraid to go to any commission. Cat is out of the bag now. They are protecting the exposed….
Some of these goons cannot sit on the floor as their bellies are so big!!!! As Disney has rightfully titled “MONKEY KINGDOM”
Michael and Jay I am surprised that there are still educated or uneducated, (I don’t know how to address people like you all)still in our midst. Rogues defend ROGUES!
