Sri Lanka, April 8 -- MP Ajith P. Perera told Parliament today that he is ready to forgive Minister of Justice Harshana Nanayakkara for his behaviour in the House the other day.

An uproar was created when Minister Nanayakkara showed hus middle finger to the MP recently.

"I have decided to withdraw my privilege issue as I don't want to insult the Minister. The Buddhist teaching 'Na hi verena verani sammantidha kudacanam. Avey renecha dammamthi esa dhammo sananthano' makes me forgive the Minister," MP Perera said.
