‘I’ll break PB’s limbs’ – Namal!

 Saturday, 24 May 2014 

Chaos reigned at the president’s chamber in parliament on the day the no-confidence motion against the government wsa taken up for debate. From that room, MP Namal Rajapaksa had abused someone in a very loud voice. Present there at the time were agriculture minister Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena, president’s coordinating secretary of parliamentary affairs Kumarasiri Hettige and chairmen of several state corporations.

It was finance ministry and treasury secretary Dr. P.B. Jayasundara who had been the target of MP Namal Rajapaksa’s outburst. That was after PB had sent a message to him that if he wanted funds for his projects, the MP should make an appointment through his secretary and meet him at the ministry.

“Who he is to say that I should come to his ministry? He is the one who is breaking this government. If I catch that pariah, I will break his limbs. Who does he think I am to go and worship his feet? Pariah dog. Go and tell him that I said this. Tell him not to come before me. I will finish him off. What Wimal Weerawansa does is correct. He thinks the government cannot manage without him,” the MP has told the corporation chairmen, while the elderly agriculture ministry looked on stunned. After making much effort, Kumarasiri Hettige managed to pacify the MP.
