In a sudden turn of events, the Sri Lankan Parliament was adjourned for a brief period of 10 minutes today following a tense situation that arose after an allegation that Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Sujith Sanjaya Perera had attempted to assault State Minister Diana Gamage just outside the Parliamentary chambers.

The alleged altercation created a highly charged atmosphere within the parliamentary premises, leading to the decision to adjourn proceedings for a short interlude. The incident has prompted concerns about decorum and order within the legislative body and the need to address any potential disruptions promptly.

Following the revelation, the Prime Minister requested the Speaker to adjourn Parliament.
