UPFA Parliamentarian Vasudeva Nanayakkara used un-parliamentary language on Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe during a heated debate at the House today.
The debate occurred when the opposition demanded that the three member committee’s report on the Central Bank Treasury bond issue be debated in parliament.
When the Prime Minister rose to speak on the matter, Nanayakkara stood up to raise a point of order. Wickremesinghe attempted to prevent Nanayakkara from raising a point of order, creating a heated debate, even as the Speaker kept insisting that Nanayakkara should be allowed to speak.
Nanayakkara accused the Prime Minister of not knowing what a point of order is or what standing orders in Parliament are.
“Do you think you can make me sit down? P*****,” Nanayakkara said.
