Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Ajith Mannaperuma has been suspended from Parliament proceedings for a period of four (04) weeks from today.
Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena informed Parliament today that MP Mannaperuma will be removed from Parliament today and will be suspended for 4 weeks.
The Speaker further said that the decision has been taken due to MP Mannaperuma’s unruly behaviour during Parliament proceedings this morning.
A tense situation arose in Parliament after Public Security Minister Tiran Alles refused to answer a question posed by MP Manapperuma.
The tense situation continued despite the Speaker urging MP Manapperuma to move away from the centre of the chamber and settle down.
The Speaker was, thereafter, forced to adjourn Parliament for a period of 10 minutes.
