NPP’s AKD calls Sri Lanka speaker a parasite
COLOMBO – Leader of the National People’s Power (NPP) party, Anura Kumara Dissanayake called the speaker of Sri Lanka’s Parliament a parasite that acts on behalf of the government.
“He has brought his entire family into Parliament,” Dissanayake said Wednesday (20) during the no-confidence debate against speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena, reading out several names of the alleged family members employed in the Dpeaker’s office.
“An entire Yapa generation (paramparavak) is here,” Dissanayake said, claiming that one of Yapa’s sons was the Development Lotteries Board chairman.
“Because he is beholden to the executive, he acts as a parasite,” he charged.
Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva who followed Dissanayake in speaking said that the speaker had erred in giving too much time for the opposition and this was a case of ‘biting the hand that feeds them’.
He also accused the NPP of being wolves in sheep’s clothing.
