Speaker Karu Jayasuriya on Friday (16) announced in parliament that a fresh no-confidence motion on the new government had been passed with a majority vote.
Jayasuriya, for the first time in Sri Lanka's history, entered the floor of the House, protected by hundreds of police personnel and announced the results of the motion.
Pandemonium reigned in Sri Lanka's Parliament as legislators supporting Mahinda Rajapaksa were trying to prevent the proceedings from taking place.
The despicable behaviour of these JO MPs were witnessed by many in the diplomatic community who had arrived at parliament to watch today's proceedings.
