Chief Government Whip, Minister Dinesh Gunawardena has made a proposal at the party leaders meeting held at the parliamentary complex not to hold parliamentary sessions on July 22, as there was going to be an astrologically dangerous planetary movement that day.
Gunawardena had made the proposal on behalf of the government at the party leaders meeting presided by Speaker W.J.M. Lokubandara. Hearing the proposal, a JVP representative at the meeting had questioned if it was a comment made as a joke. Gunawardena has however said the statement was made with full responsibility. |

An opposition parliamentarian told Lanka News Web that Gunawardena’s proposal was not well accepted at the meeting.
The parliamentarian also said it was indeed unfortunate that many politicians had much faith in the planets than the people.
Astrologer Chandrasiri Bandara was last month taken into custody by the CID for stating that following a major planetary movement in September, Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake would become the head of state. However, he was later released due to the lack of evidence to press charges against him.
