 Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapaksha and MP Rishad Bathiudeen engaged in a heated argument in Parliament today on the remarks that both of them had made on a judge on an earlier day.

MP Bathiudeen who was referring to a remark made by Minister Rajapakasha that he had insulted a certain judge, said no name had been mentioned by him.

“Minister Rajapaksha said I cursed a certain judge the other day. I must say I never cursed anyone and besides I did not mention any name of a judge. Also, the Minister never objected to former Minister Roshan Ranasinghe when he made a remark against a judge,” MP Bathiudeen said.

Minister Rajapaksha who responded said MP Bathiudeen certainly referred to a particular judge when he used the word ‘a Muslim judge’.

“Also, I  must remind the MP that the whole Parliament criticized Minister Ranasinghe during the debate on the motion that was brought to sack officials of Sri Lanka Cricket,” Minister Rajapaksha said.
