The Hon. Gayantha Karunathilleka
Gayantha Karunathilleka noted that Party Leaders’ and Parliamentary Business Committee meetings are normally held before the end of a parliamentary week to plan the following week’s business. He said the Opposition had not been informed of such arrangements and, given the current situation in the country, requested that a Party Leaders’ meeting be convened that day.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, generally before concluding a Parliamentary week, we hold a Parliamentary Business Committee and a Party Leaders’ meeting to discuss the business of the coming week. Since we have not yet been informed of such arrangements, and given the prevailing situation in the country, we requested yesterday as well, during a discussion among several Opposition parties, that a Party Leaders’ meeting be arranged today under the present circumstances.
