The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake objected to the manner in which proceedings were being conducted, stating that no Standing Order permits such behaviour. He urged the Deputy Speaker to enforce parliamentary rules, particularly the proper procedure for raising Questions of Privilege, and not to allow disorderly conduct or be intimidated by raised voices.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 No Standing Order allows speaking in that manner. That is wrong, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Do not let your modesty become an obstacle to conducting the House. If that is the case, please remember, Hon. Deputy Speaker — listen. There is a procedure in this Parliament to present Questions of Privilege. You are in the Chair to act according to the Rules. If the Government does it this way, we can take it further. Within our modesty and ethics, do not allow individuals to misbehave. Do not be afraid when someone raises their voice, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
