Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana announced today (06) that a committee consisting of senior members from the Government and Opposition will be appointed within the week to look into the incidents that took place in Parliament last Friday and Saturday and submit a report.

These incidents were occurred following a speech made by SJB MP Manusha Nanayakkara on last Friday.

“On Friday (3) and Saturday (4) certain unruly incidents were reported from the Parliament Chamber and Parliament Lobby,” said the Speaker.
