COLOMBO, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka's parliament was thrown into chaos on Wednesday after a no confidence motion against new Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse was presented to Speaker Karu Jayasuriya, which prompted the parliament to be adjourned till Thursday, TV footage showed.

The no confidence motion on the new prime minister and the newly elected government was presented by Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) legislator Anura Kumara Dissanayaka and seconded by JVP legislator Vijitha Herath.

However, when the motion was taken up for a vote, legislators from Rajapakse's party broke out in protest, prompting the prime minister to leave the floor of the House.

Sri Lanka has been embroiled in a political turmoil since Oct. 26, when President Maithripala Sirisena surprisingly sacked his Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and appointed former president Rajapakse to the post.

Sirisena who was supposed to address the parliament on Wednesday remained absent.
