Mr. Ratnayake said that the Speaker had not accepted the NCM against Former Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne although they had submitted it two years ago.
"The NCM against Ravi Karunanayake was not accepted by the Speaker until he (Ravi) eventually resigned from his portfolio. The NCM against Ranil Wickremesinghe was also taken up only after a month following submission. However, the NCM against Mahinda Rajapaksa was taken up within 10 minutes of submission," C.B. Ratnayake told Times Online.
He also said that the Speaker should have given adequate time to study the NCM brought against Mahinda Rajapaksa.
