Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Hon. Mujibur Rahuman objected to a member repeatedly using parliamentary time to criticize or scold the Opposition, including during extended sittings. He argued that such conduct was inappropriate for Parliament and should not continue during proceedings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I am telling you, what he does is scold us. Every day from morning till 5.30 p.m., even when parliamentary business should have ended, he extends it for an hour and scolds us. What is this? Did we come to Parliament to be scolded? Please wait a bit. Did he come to Parliament to scold us? It has been a year since he came to Parliament, and every day he scolds us. We do not know whether he quarrels with his wife every morning before coming here. He comes to the Chamber, and the moment he sees the Leader of the Opposition or us, he scolds us as if he just saw his wife. This is too much; we do not have to listen to it. If he quarrels with his wife, he should sort it out at home, not here. He comes here, gets heated, and on seeing the Opposition Leader or us, scolds us as if he saw his wife.
