Parliament incident:

PM calls for disciplinary action

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday called for disciplinary action to be taken against some of the members who were responsible for the uproar which erupted in Parliament on Friday over Wasim Thajudeen’s murder.

The Prime Minister told Parliament yesterday that disciplinary action should be taken even if a UNP member had misbehaved.

A tense situation arose in Parliament on Friday when UNP MP Mujibur Rahman spoke of the controversial killing of rugger player Wasim Thajudeen. His remarks were met with heated arguments from opposition members and Parliament proceedings were adjourned twice. (RR)
