The Hon. (Dr.) Najith Indika
Under Standing Order 92(2)(a), Najith Indika raised a procedural concern about repeated disorder and interruptions in the House. He said Members were unable to continue their speeches, citing interruptions during a Tamil Member’s remarks, and urged the Chair to ensure order and proper management of proceedings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, under Standing Order 92(2)(a) it is stated that, except when a division is called for the purpose of expressing a vote, a Member may raise whether proper procedure is being followed in any business of Parliament.
¶ 02 Since morning this issue has persisted, Hon. Presiding Member. A Tamil Hon. Member was speaking earlier. There must be order in this House. We need a method and the use of points of order; otherwise the House must be managed. Now no Member can proceed with a speech. Throughout that Hon. Member’s speech, there were constant shouts and interruptions. Therefore there must be order and this should not be allowed to continue. The business of this House must proceed with order. How many times has this happened today?
