Location: Parliament Drama unfolded in Parliament yesterday (03.12.24) when the controversial Dream Medical Superintendent, who is also a Member of Parliament, found himself in a heated altercation at the opposition office. Known for his allegiance to the ruling NPP party, the Medical Superintendent surprised many by seeking speech time from the opposition’s time allocation committee—a move that raised eyebrows.
The Incident Upon visiting the opposition office, the MP first approached the Opposition Leader’s secretary to request speaking time in Parliament. He was directed to a senior opposition politician for further discussion. The Dream Medical Superintendent reportedly demanded an immediate speaking slot and even requested access to the opposition members’ time allocation schedule, which escalated tensions. Eyewitnesses revealed that the exchange quickly turned sour, with harsh words and insults flying between the Dream Medical Superintendent and the senior opposition member.
The situation reached a boiling point when the senior politico allegedly assaulted the controversial MP during the confrontation. Tamil Politicians Weigh In Following the incident, a prominent Tamil politician expressed concern but refrained from directly addressing the conflict. “The opposition office has always been cooperative in allocating time for Tamil MPs, and we are grateful for their support.
This incident is unfortunate, but it does not reflect our broader relationship with the opposition wing,” he stated. A Reputation for Controversy The Dream Medical Superintendent has a history of controversial behavior, including his open support for the ruling NPP party despite choosing to sit with the opposition in Parliament. His alleged recording of phone calls and use of social media to target individuals have alienated him from both sides of the political divide.
Even Tamil MPs, who often collaborate with the opposition, have distanced themselves from him. As the dust settles, the incident has sparked a flurry of gossip within political circles, with many questioning the Dream Medical Superintendent’s motives and approach. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
