He should be removed entirely from the parliament and there are many more who deserve such treatment.

Not enough. He along with others who are murderers and convicted corrupt Minister too should be forced to resign by Pohottuwa.

No problem. That's like a bonus to his smuggling plans.

Just removing from Parliamentary Committees is nothing and Sabri will be happy about it.We thought that he would be expelled from Parliament ?

It is a shame to have smugglers in the house, anyone caught smuggling any item, if caught, should be removed from the house. Parliamentarians should set examples for the citizens.

In the post independent history of Sri Lanka, the corruption among the politicians was first introduced by the Muslim Ministers under Mrs Bandaranaike and then under J R Jayawardana.

Do we need another motion to institute legal action against him?

All parliamentarians should support the motion to chase this bugger of hoot from the seat to pave the way for another suitable person to give an opportunity, given the willingness of the people who voted for all.

A very lenient punishment. Should have been expelled as MP and civic rights removed. How can we as a society tolerate fraud and theft ?

A similar motion should be passed against the Speaker - may be a no-confidence motion as the Speaker did not take correct action against this MP.

Oh. Motions never won in the parliament. He brings gold for others there too.
