The continued reference to Mahinda Rajapaksa as the prime minister by mainstream media is blatant violation of the constitution as well as unethical, parliamentarian Mangala Samaraweera said today.
Mahinda Rajapaksa lost the no confidence motion in parliament yesterday and the speaker had conveyed this motion to the president.
According to the speaker, there is no cabinet or a prime minister. Therefore, referring to anyone in the former cabinet as ministers or prime minister would be a violation of the constitution, Samaraweera said.
He further said that they will resort to legal action if the mainstream media fails to recognise the changes adopted and passed by the majority of legislators in parliament.
