Hon. Dilip Wedaarachchi made a brief procedural demand for one minute of speaking time, threatening to join other members in the Well of the House if not granted. His statement coincided with — or prompted — a demonstration by Opposition members who walked into the Well of the House, indicating a moment of parliamentary disorder.

Hon. Speaker, give me one minute. If not, I will come to the Well of the House. Give me one minute to speak. [At this stage, some Members of the Opposition walked into the Well of the House.]
