斯里兰卡的反对派质疑议长以宪法和国际先例为由否决针对副国防部长的不信任动议。 Sri Lanka's opposition challenges Speaker's rejection of no-confidence motion against deputy defense minister, citing constitutional and international precedents.

斯里兰卡反对派以Sajith Premadasa为首, 与议长Jagath Wickramaratne发生冲突, 抗议否决针对国防部副部长Aruna Jayasekara的不信任动议。 The Sri Lankan opposition, led by Sajith Premadasa, has clashed with Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne over the rejection of a no-confidence motion against Deputy Minister of Defence Aruna Jayasekara. 议长根据《第76(1)号常令》裁定该动议无效,指出1978年《宪法》和议会规则不允许针对副部长个人提出此类动议,而只是针对整个政府。 The Speaker ruled the motion invalid under Standing Order 76(1), stating the 1978 Constitution and parliamentary rules do not allow such motions against individual deputy ministers, only against the government as a whole. Premadasa反驳说,法律指南和国际惯例,包括联合王国和印度的法律指南和国际惯例,允许以个别部长为目标,并指责议长有选择地适用先例。 Premadasa countered that legal guidance and international practices, including those in the UK and India, permit targeting individual ministers, and accused the Speaker of selectively applying precedents. 议长坚持认为,副部长没有获得授权的权力,批评必须通过适当的实质性动议提出。 The Speaker maintained that deputy ministers lack delegated powers and that criticism must come through proper substantive motions. 争端凸显了议会权力和问责制方面日益紧张的局势。 The dispute highlights growing tensions over parliamentary authority and accountability.
