Sri Lanka, Oct. 28 -- The National People's Power (NPP) parliamentary group is divided over the no-confidence motion against Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne, Opposition MP S. M. Marikkar said today.

"A group of NPP MPs are refusing to back the Speaker. This is why the Government is trying to avoid a debate on the no-confidence motion and asking us to dilute it. We are not prepared to do so," he said.
