Leader of the House, Minister Bimal Ratnayake, says the government is prepared to allocate time during parliament sessions this week to debate the No-Confidence Motion (NCM) being prepared by the opposition against Prime Minister and Education Minister Harini Amarasuriya.
Addressing the Parliament today, Minister Ratnayake said that the government was willing to allocate the Parliament sessions scheduled for 22 and 23 January completely for the NCM.
“News that an NCM is being prepared against the PM and the premiership is a very serious matter. We feel it is an issue if an NCM has been prepared, with signatures being obtained, but not being submitted. We would like to know if the opposition is going to submit the NCM or not,” he said.
Responding to the minister, Chief Opposition Whip Gayantha Karunatileke informed Parliament that it was a matter related to the opposition, which will be decided after holding the necessary discussions.
Minister Bimal Ratnayake then urged the opposition to submit the NCM against PM Harini Amarausiya, pointing out that this affects the country’s stability. (Newswire)
