The report containing details on the attack that erupted at the Parliament yesterday was handed over to the Speaker, a short while ago on Wednesday (04), Ada Derana reporter said.


Speaker Karu Jayasuriya adjourned Parliament until today and called for a report from the Deputy Speaker and the Deputy Chairman of Committees in connection with the tense situation which had occurred at the Parliament on Tuesday. 


He also informed Parliament that suitable action would be instigated against the MPs involved in the incident. Parliament proceedings were initially suspended for five minutes due to the tense situation within the chambers which ended in fisticuffs between two groups of MPs.
