"It was difficult to immediately determine who was hitting who, but several were injured, but not seriously," said a parliamentary official to AFP. "The speaker adjourned the House until tomorrow (Friday)."
TAccording to this official, a member of the overthrown party of Prime Minister Rajapakse's party was wounded while he was trying to rip the president's microphone. He had to be taken to the hospital with a bleeding hand.
Two weeks after sacking Wickremesinghe and appointing Rajapakse in his place, Sirisena dissolved the parliament of the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean country and called for early elections for the month of January.
However, these measures were suspended Tuesday by the Supreme Court pending an investigation. The day-to-day administration in Sri Lanka remains paralyzed by the crisis.
Parliament reunited again on Wednesday and legislators approved a motion of censure on what they called Rajapakse's "alleged" cabinet, also adopting motions declaring Sirisena's actions illegal.
