Leader of the joint opposition Dinesh Gunawardena was prohibited attending Parliament on an order given by the Speaker. As he continued to disrupt proceedings after the speaker turned down a request by Wimal Weerawansa to function as an independent member, Speaker had to call for a vote. In the voting on Wednesday (08), House voted 85-22 to impose the ban on him over his unruly conduct.
Followed by this Dinesh is planning to arrive in parliament via Diyawanna Oya by boat.
