Senior Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament, Ranjith Madduma Bandara, is facing criticism and condemnation for his use of unparliamentary language when addressing State Minister Diana Gamage during a fiery exchange in the Parliament. The incident has drawn attention not only due to the offensive remark itself but also because of Madduma Bandara's position as the General Secretary of the party.

In a rare and controversial move, Madduma Bandara directed derogatory language at State Minister Diana Gamage during a heated debate within the hallowed halls of Parliament. Although such exchanges have not been uncommon in the past, the outrage stems from Madduma Bandara's seniority within the SJB and his prominent role as the party's General Secretary.

Diana Gamage, originally appointed to Parliament as a national list MP by the SJB, caused a stir when she defected and switched sides in Parliament, becoming a vocal critic of her former party. Her move to the opposing camp added further tension to the already polarized political landscape.

The incident occurred during a particularly contentious session in which various political matters were being discussed. Madduma Bandara's choice of words not only shocked his colleagues but also drew swift condemnation from across social media.
