SLFP to take disciplinary action against Mervyn
The central committee of the SLFP yesterday unanimously decided to take disciplinary action against Minister Mervyn Silva over a statement that the minister had made asserting that no one could touch him while President Mahinda Rajapaksa was in power.
Informed sources said that President Rajapaksa had instructed Party Secretary Maithripala Sirisena to call for an explanation from the minister regarding his statement.
Sources also said that the central committee, which had met at Temple Trees last night, had discussed Dr. Silva’s case in depth. It is learned that the president had said that the party had to face difficulties on account of Dr. Silva making such comments.
Speaking at a demonstration, Dr. Silva had said that even if a tsunami came from Sigiriya, “I’m sure that no tsunami will flow against me from President Mahinda Rajapaksa”. (Ajantha Kumara Agalakada)

MR and his brothers have one lots of good things what other government or ministers couldn't. They also have the pores and people support. What puzzles me is that why MR is still tolerating or accommodating such thugs in his cabinet. MAr can rudely live withou them. What we need now is some sort of cleansing within the government.

This fellow is very confident to make a statement in that nature as he is the dog who does all the dirty work of the gov and regime. So whatever the investigation, the results will be the same as before and dog will continue to bark again. maximum punishment could be a temporary suspension from his portfolio and that all.

'SLFP to take disciplinary action against Mervyn'...? This title is a good example of an 'Oxymoron'. The words 'Mervyn' & 'discipline' do not belong in the same sentence.

He only violated human rights of sinhalese not tamil tigers and he has confirmed countries of geneva conference that even government ministers upto that. Tamil Tigers will reward him as he has given evidence to prove their case to world body.

i don't know how far this will go into action, this is just a cover up and i know for a fact that there will not be any action taken against him, this is just to divert the attention from the public and the international media.. they are soo good in their cover up's that they them selves don't know which is which.. our nation has gone to ruination coz of ppl like this and a corrupt govt who is covering their tracks now. but this time they have gone too far and too deep in to their own whole they dug too deep this time... I just pry for our Country and the poor people, so sad a family can't have a decent meal these day becoz of corrupt govt MP's like this...

I know there are few respectable politicians in the ruling party. However, they cannot and they won't do anything against persons like Mervyn and Duminda. Only available option for them is to leave the party if they are really interested in safeguarding their good names.

Dear President,
Please send him home. he is not suitable for the parliament. this is a time for clear this type of rubbish form the parliament.
If not finally you have to suffer. we do not like to see, you are in trouble as a president as well as savior of the Sri Lankan. if you can put in please independent country Law it will be good for the country. and also consider about the discipline of the parliament members. it is such a joke. if we need development we need to stop this type of things.
Have a prosperous future to Sri Lanka( My mother land).

He made everything sound corrupt in the government. He even dragged the President into this. It is understandable if the President feels uncomfortable with this dog always barking at times when he rather should have been quiet. But I guess nothing will come out of this. It will be "forgotten" as everything else this dog has done.
