Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Sanath Nishantha has written to the Speaker over the decision to suspend him from Parliamentary sittings for a period of 2 weeks.
In his 06-point letter, MP Sanath Nishantha expressed regret over the incident that occurred in Parliament leading to his suspension, while he also acknowledged that such an incident should not have taken place in Parliament.
MP Sanath Nishantha further outlined the cause for his actions and also pointed out various violations that had taken place by Opposition Leader MP Sajith Premadasa and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Nalin Bandara at the time.
Claiming that action being initiated only against him was a violation of his Parliamentary privileges, MP Sanath Nishantha urged the Speaker to investigate and initiate proper action against MPs Sajith Premadasa and Nalin Bandara in this regard. (NewsWire)
