During the 87-89 period, Aruna Jayasekara was part of the Army's JVP Counter Insurgency Unit & he was awarded a #medal for his service in squashing the JVP. Subsequently, during the @PresRajapaksa administration, in 2019 he was Commanding Officer of the East. We have proof…

Following the #EasterSundayAttacks, according to the statement of Hadiya, Sarah was alive & she was taken away by some #Army personnel. There is no way that the Fmr. Eastern Div. Commander, Aruna Jayasekara, was unaware of the identity of these individuals. He had to have known,…

I withdraw the statement I made yesterday, during the course of which I urged the #Speaker of Parliament to shut up, if it had caused any form of disrespect to the position of the Speaker & Chair. This is my response to the Speaker’s query, in which he inquired into my sense of…

The Govt. Analysts report is being sought over drug related arrests not solely because we need to establish the variety of narcotics. We need to quantify the amount in possession, so that it could be used in litigation to prove a case beyond reasonable doubt. However, contrary to…

In the recent past, we witnessed @ArjunaRanatunga taking part in functions and meetings hosted by various #solar power companies. Now, we need to find out if he had been instrumental in providing lands to these companies. I think these amendments to the Companies Act are a good…

Once the amendments to the Companies Act are completed, we will notify all companies registered under it to reveal their beneficial owners. Apart from that, @RavikOfficial, there are people in this country who have taken money from #SriLanka & established companies in the British…

The person who planted the bomb contested the election while representing the United National Party from Kandy. It is no secret that the leaders of the UNP were operating torture chambers during the 88-89 period, and that 60,000 were killed. We will not only utter the names of…

Hon. MP, who do you think you are talking to? You took four minutes to raise your supplementary question. Please show some decorum when speaking, MP. - Speaker of @ParliamentLK Jagath Wickramaratne #SriLanka #Parliament #SLnews #Colombo

The ‘new’ proposals which you submit today are the collective efforts of past governments. People expected justice from Ministers with regards to their tax money. They expected your Ministers to act different. But the same pattern keeps repeating. You simply cannot develop the…

If your ministry can expedite the process, we can help you in restarting the Mannar-Rameshwaram ferry service. The distance from Mannar to Rameshwaram is shorter, whereas you're talking about a ferry service from Kankasanthurei to #India. That ferry service is too long. - MP…

The land in question is the property of the Ministry of Justice. My Ministry is also vested with the responsibility of promoting cooperation amongst different ethnicities. We are a government which recognises the importance of following a religion of choice. We will make the best…

Presently, are you in power or are we in power? You are repeating the same lies you uttered in the past, even after assuming power. What are you doing today? You are increasing salaries, but levying exorbitant taxes and cycling it back into the coffers again. - MP @RajapaksaNamal…

I'm under a lot of pressure & distress. I purchased a used vehicle recently, and on Friday my son was arrested by the police over it. His arrest is unfair. I've come to @ParliamentLK on around ten occasions in that very vehicle. The Cabinet Spokesman says that Rohitha…

I do not have any ownership over the land which was discussed before the CoPE. Neither have I transferred any state-owned land to my name. The stir created by the media over this unfounded accusation has sullied my reputation as an MP of @ParliamentLK, and has breached my…

What do you say? Will you take disciplinary action against the official who misled you? This particular land had been acquired under an extraordinary gazette issued in 2019. A sum of Rs. 1 Bn has been invested on water, electricity & other facilities. Yet the officials have told…

Previously, while in Opposition, #President @anuradisanayake & @SunilHandun_LKA accused that a large commission was being funneled into the pocket of @kanchana_wij through the purchase of each liter of fuel. However you came into power heralding that you would eradicate this…

Who are the Directors of these financial institutions? As I said, this is a result of politics and we will have no option but to use politics to end this. We will do this. Within the #Colombo District, Rs. 1100 Mn has gone missing at the Maharagama Cooperative, while Rs. 1300 Mn…

When we were summoned to the CID over the statements made by us regarding the release of the controversial containers, we made our submissions for over five hours. We told the CID that, if at all, @BimalRathnayake & the Deputy Minister who are responsible for the release of these…

With regards to the #EasterSundayAttacks, you all are making the Rajapaksas the accused party. But for 76 years, since 1948, we all know there has been political influence in this country. You as a government supported the #war, you as a government was a party with the…
