Deputy Speaker Ajith Rajapaksa yesterday said an inquiry would be conducted on the incident in Parliament on Thursday where MP Diana Gamage was verbally abused by SJB MP Nalin Bandara Jayamaha.   
Deputy Speaker assured an inquiry when MPs Kokila Gunawardene and Samanpriya Hearth called for action against MP Jayamaha. 

“No action was taken against MP Tissakuttiarachchi who abused MP Rohini Kaviratne on an earlier occasion. Therefore we request some action at least this instance,” Ms Gunawardene said.

Ms Gunawardene said. Chief Opposition Whip Laksman Kiriella said the MPs who accuse MP Jayamaha should explain as to which standing order Mr. Jayamaha had violated. “These MPs have to explain how MP Jayamaha has committed an offence.  SJB MP Rohini Kaviratne said she will oppose the action of Mr Jayamaha. “One cannot take this abuse seriously. “However the word which Mr.Jayamaha used to describe Ms. Gamage can also be used on a man as well.
