Puttalam District MP Arundika Fernando, for the first time in Sri Lanka's history, sat on the Speaker’s chair by force.
Rajapaksa loyalists were seen chanting obscene slogans in front of the diplomatic community who had visited to watch the day's proceedings.
Speaker Karu Jayasuriya had to be brought in with full Police escort to take the no-confidence motion against Mahinda Rajapaksa that was passed by a majority of the members of the House.
