5/ It would be best if the Opposition used a better strategic approach going forward. Nevertheless, wish to reaffirm our commitment to vote in favour of the motion as communicated earlier last week. #SriLanka — PolitiTweet.org

4. Now President's MPs would use the defeat of this vote as an opportunity to block the Motion of Displeasure being taken up at a later date. #SriLanka — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
3/ It would have been better to allow the debate on the attacks to take place today, and in a few days time these Government MPs would be compelled to vote in favor of the symbolic Motion of Displeasure. #SriLanka — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
2/ I advised M.P. Sumanthiran on the 16th that this would be self-defeating, as government MPs who were wanting to debate the attacks on their houses would not vote in favour to immediately debate the Motion of Displeasure. #SriLanka — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
1/ This was not a vote on the Motion of Displeasure against the President. This was a vote to suspend all Parliament proceedings and immediately debate the Motion of Displeasure. #SriLanka — PolitiTweet.org
