Batticaloa District MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam today raised the issue of degrading comments being hurled at him by certain Government MPs during Parliament sessions.
Addressing Parliament today, the MP informed the Chief Government Whip Johnston Fernando that certain backbench Government MPs have been hurling degrading comments and blocking his address during the session.
He further requested Minister Fernando to initiate action against such Government MPs for their unparliamentary behaviour.
“It has become a practice for a few govt backbenchers to abuse me using degrading words while I speak in parliament. Not surprised at all after the example set by their seniors. I have raised this matter today and I’m hoping appropriate action will be taken,” he further said in a Twitter message. (NewsWire)
