Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Nirj Deva (Conservative), on Thursday, 6 May 1993, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 28 members in total.


ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT PREMADASA OF SRI LANKA

That this House is greatly shocked and horrified at the news of the assassination of President Ranasinghe Premadasa, who was a distinguished parliamentarian and a hard working and progressive leader; is gravely concerned at the possible threat posed to the old and established democracy of Sri Lanka; urges and hopes that the terrorists will never be allowed to undermine its democractic freedom and economic development; and offers its wholehearted support to the citizens of Sri Lanka whose strength, friendliness and toleration will surely continue to keep democracy flourishing.
