The Hon. Gayantha Karunatilleka
Gayantha Karunatilleka said Opposition parties had met the Speaker to request broader representation at Party Leaders’ meetings. He argued that, given the increase in the number of Opposition parties from about six to about twelve, limiting attendance to four representatives is unfair, and called for a fair arrangement allowing a reasonable number to participate.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Leader of the Opposition and other Opposition parties met you today to request that, while it may not be possible to include everyone, a fair number be allowed to attend Party Leaders’ meetings. Previously, there were around six Opposition parties but ten were given representation. Now there are about twelve Opposition parties; limiting it to four is unfair. We request a fair solution.
