Great grandpa uses foul language in Parliament – Anura
SATURDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2012
He said this speaking in Parliament yesterday (12th) regarding words and expressions used by UPFA Parliamentarian J.R.P. Sooriyapperuma when he got up to interrupt Parliamentarian Ajith Perera while he was speaking on education.
Ajith P Perera: It was said this country would be made the center for aviation and also the center for education. However, there is no investment for aviation and to make this the center for education.
J.R.P. Sooriyapperuma: you all should be shot or hanged. You all are donkeys born a day or two before. Tell the truth. The UNP opposed free education. When free education was established you were not born. You were in your mother’s womb. Don’t talk nonsense.
Ajith P Perera: Ox, donkey, fool are words that are used by this senior, great teacher and senior Parliamentarian! This is how he talks.
J.R.P. Sooriyarachchi: What can I say to an ox other than using the word ox? There is no other word for a donkey. The coat is from the embassy; shoes too are from the embassy. That fellow (When Parliamentarian Sujeewa Serasinghe attempted to say something) is a two penny lawyer. Fool (When another Parliament attempted to talk) don’t talk. He has come to Colombo from rural areas.
Anura Dissanayake: The Parliamentarian representing the government who spoke earlier had developed his image through the media as a very intelligent and matured person. However, the words used when school children are present by this person who had seen even his great grand children are very primitive. We are very unhappy that words and expressions that had never been used in the Parliament had been used by this person.
