Federalist Ranil Wickremesinghe’s Autocratic Behaviour Criticised

Several United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) parliamentarians have highly criticised the autocratic behaviour of pro-minority mind set Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in Parliament.

UPFA MP Gamini Lokuge speaking on the matter said that Ranil’s recent antics in Parliament was akin to “a bull in a China shop” expression.

Lokuge cited Ranil’s behaviour in a recent incident where he acted in an arbitrary and argon manner while bypassing parliamentary ethics and traditions in announcing a decision to take up for debate several financial regulations on government spending, without prior notice to the “House”.

Meanwhile UPFA MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara says that he is planning to lodge a complaint with the International Parliamentarians Association based in Geneva about Wickremesinghe un-parliamentary and unruly conduct and thug behaviour.

Nanayakkara says that the Premier is subjugating MP’s rights to express their views freely and also acting in a manner disregarding the reputation of parliamentarians.

The UPFA MP is planning to attach video recordings of Ranil misbehaviour with his complaint to the Geneva based IPA to prove his allegations.

Meanwhile Dinesh Gunewardena, the leader of Mahajana Eksath Peramuna says Wickremesinghe is becoming a dictator in parliament.
