Major opposition UNP leader Ranil Wickramasinghe opposed the electronic system of voting arguing that it was not declared earlier in party meetings.

Speaker of parliament suggested that the voting can be done in the traditional system but a major opposition from JVP members of parliament created a chaos in the premises.

The aim of the bills is said to be introduced to increase the state revenue introducing more taxes. The dispute ended up in a punch up between the members of different parties.

However the speaker announced that all five bills had become law during the scuffle. According to the reporters, the members were certainly bruised but not injured.

The UNP, JVP and the TNA voted against the bills.
