The Parliament of Sri Lanka was adjourned until tomorrow (19 June) after SJB MP Ajith P. Perera failed to be present to start the adjournment debate on the Israel-Iran conflict.
SJB MP Ajith P. Perera failed to be present at the scheduled time to start the adjournment debate that he had proposed.
As MP Nizam Kariyappar began to move the motion on the debate, Leader of the House Bimal Ratnayake and Minister Vijitha Herath pointed out that a motion cannot be moved by a member on behalf of another.
A tense situation then arose, after which Deputy Speaker Rizvi Sally adjourned the House until 09.30 am tomorrow. (Newswire)
