Several doctors are attempting to block the establishment of the Professoral Unit of the Moratuwa Medical Faculty. The establishment of this unit will definitely serve as an advantage in future for medical students. Minister Nalinda Jayatissa, I would like to request of you to not

Today, the amendments to this act aim to bring the funds & management board which administers the Samurdhi fund under audit. In our history, these funds were utilised by various politicians as their own private assets and fund-lines. Meanwhile the Opposition Leader who followed a

If anybody in the history of this country ever claimed that the judiciary could not be trusted, that is especially true in terms of this administration. Minister Wasantha Samarasinghe had a court case filed at the Mt. Lavinia courts. The judge was transferred. Judges are being

The Railway Department is also suffering the repercussions of the country's economic collapse. There is a considerable slackness, as well as a myriad of other issues, concerning this department. Former politicians have provided a large number of jobs to their supporters within

I have to mention two court cases. I have no intention of insulting any former #President. One is Senarath & others v Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. The other is the Maithripala Sirisena court case, also referred to as the Paget Road case. We always stated that everyone should be equal before the law.

Aruna Jayasekara is a Deputy Minister & is not a member of the Cabinet. Even if the Deputy Minister was defeated through a Motion of No Confidence, that will not impact the government. As the Speaker of Parliament of Sri Lanka, you have said that a Motion of No Confidence cannot be moved

Though while speaking in #Geneva you claimed that 60 countries spoke in support of #SriLanka, you shouldn't lie to the people of this country. If you consider the number of countries who are able to vote amongst these 60 nations, there are only a handful. Although you boast, most

Yesterday, an individual who calls himself the media spokesman of the Opposition Leader verbally abused MP Lakmali Hemachandra. I don't simply view this as only a threat to MP Lakmali. In fact, for many years, female representation in Parliament of Sri Lanka has been very low. Even though

Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya in Parliament of Sri Lanka yesterday said that the dignity of MPs should be safeguarded. Meanwhile, the Minister of Women's Affairs who represents nearly 51% of people in this country said that unlike “some female MPs in the Opposition”, they hadn't been elected

The Opposition often attempts to portray that it champions the issues faced by the farming community of this country. The Opposition doesn't even stay in the Parliament of Sri Lanka chamber to hear the government's response, to their very own proposal. Members of the Opposition utter lies
