Govt. hands in motion for Select Committee on JJ

December 7, 2010 11:50 am

The Government a short while ago handed over a motion to appoint a Parliamentary Select Committee to investigate alleged involvement of UNP MP Jayalath Jayawardena in the protest against President Mahinda Rajapaksa in UK. Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardena and Nimal Siripala De Silva today handed over the motion to the Speaker.

Seventy Eight Government MPs have signed the motion. Yesterday the United National Party (UNP) leader Ranil Wickremesinghe agreed to the initiation of an investigation on UNP member Jayalath Jayawardana. He stated this in reply to the Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardena, who suggested that a motion should be brought against Jayalath Jayawardana regarding his alleged anti-national conspiracy.
