The Hon. Mujibur Rahman
The Hon. Mujibur Rahman objected to limits on raising questions, citing Standing Order 91(u) and past practice since 2015 of allowing brief questions under Standing Order 27(2), even during contentious parliamentary periods. He argued that the Opposition was not seeking to disrupt proceedings and urged that similar parliamentary understanding be maintained.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, under Standing Order 91(u), this is not merely a question. I have been here since 2015. When we were in Government, Members including the present Leader of the House, the current President, the Prime Minister, and others sat in Opposition and raised questions under SO 27(2). Even during that turbulent Parliament, governments allowed such brief questions by understanding. We are not here to disrupt. Those who disrupted Parliament then are at home now.
