Former Minister Jeevan Thondaman has called on Justice Minister Harshana Nanayakkara to issue an apology over his recent statement in Parliament regarding former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Addressing Parliament today, MP Jeevan Thondaman mentioned the Justice Minister’s statement referring to the former president as a thief and a beggar.
“Today all of you have been voted in and are sitting in your seats because people wanted a change. People wanted a change not just in terms of administration, but also in terms of political culture,” he said.
Stating that it was irrational to call someone who had saved the nation a thief and a beggar, MP Thondaman condemned the Justice Minister’s statement, saying he must issue an apology.
The former minister also called out the government for disclosing lists with names related to corruption, instead of taking action.
“If something has been done illegally then take action. If it is not illegal then what is the point of showing a list and just parading it around,” he questioned. (Newswire)
