A former Parliamentary Secretary
Nihal Seneviratne has said Speaker can suspend standing orders of Parliament and go for a vote when a no confidence motion has been submitted to the Parliament and therefore the steps followed by Speaker Karu Jayasuriya regarding the no confidence motion submitted against the appointed government of Mahinda Rajapakshe on 14 th of November were correct according to standing orders .
Mr.Seneviratne who was the General Secretary in Parliament for the 1981-1994 period has stated if the standing orders are not suspended then there's a long process to follow when submitting a no confidence motion to the Parliament.
However appointed government MP''s have criticised the Speaker Karu Jayasuriya over calling a vote for the No confidence motion by suspending standing orders saying Speaker cannot call a vote by suspending standing orders .
