කථානායකගේ වැඩ නිසා වරප්‍රසාද කඩ වෙලා

Daily Mirror, Newswire and Lankadeepa report that a tense exchange took place in Sri Lanka’s Parliament on November 3 after opposition MPs protested that a no-confidence motion against Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne was not being debated. The reports describe members objecting to the decision and demanding that the motion be taken up.

Newswire reports that Deputy Speaker Rizvie Salih refused to act immediately on the opposition’s request. WhatNews reports that the opposition leader was prevented from raising a privilege question concerning the decision, while Lankadeepa reports that opposition leader Sajith Premadasa argued in Parliament that rejecting the motion for debate infringed members’ privileges and harmed democracy.

Lankadeepa reports that the opposition decided to continue contesting the refusal to debate the motion. WhatNews reports that, because the government side had decided not to debate it at the November 3 sitting, the opposition planned to raise matters contained in the motion during an adjournment debate.
