Speaker Asoka Sapumal Ranwala yesterday stepped down from his position following a week-long controversy over his educational qualifications. Ranwala, a National People’s Power (NPP) Parliamentarian, announced his resignation in a special statement issued yesterday. He acknowledged that questions regarding his academic credentials had surfaced in recent days, emphasising that he had never made false claims about his qualifications. The Speaker explained that while he holds a doctorate awarded by a research institution affiliated with Japan’s Waseda University, he is currently unable to provide the necessary documents to verify this. He noted that he has requested the documents from the relevant institutions but is unable to produce them immediately. “Considering the situation which has arisen, and in order to avoid inconveniencing the Government and the people who had placed their trust in us, I have decided to resign from the position of Speaker of Parliament,” Ranwala said. The controversy began when social media users, including university professors, raised doubts about the validity of Ranwala’s doctorate. The issue escalated after the Sri Lanka Parliament website removed the title Dr. from his profile in the members’ directory. Ranwala had reportedly used the title Dr. in official introductions prior to contesting the General elections, and it was listed on the Parliament’s website after his election as Speaker. However, the removal of the title further fuelled public suspicion, prompting Opposition parties to demand clarification from the Government. In his statement, Ranwala assured that he intends to provide the necessary documents as soon as they are available. Ranwala was elected Speaker of the 10th Parliament on 21 November. However, the controversy surrounding his academic claim cast a shadow over his appointment, intensifying political tensions within Parliament as the Opposition this week called for a no-confidence motion against Ranwala.

The ongoing hostilities have resulted in a humanitarian crisis, with thousands of lives lost and millions of people displaced from their homes. The failure to reach a lasting ceasefire agreement has only exacerbated the suffering of the civilian population in the region.

Despite relentless advocacy efforts by the Hemophilia Society Mumbai Chapter and other concerned groups, the National Health Mission (NHM) has failed to resolve the issue, leaving thousands of patients vulnerable to severe pain, permanent disability, and even death. Maharashtra has more than 5500 haemophilia patients. For over two months, representatives from the Hemophilia Society Mumbai Chapter have held meetings with NHM officials, including on October 17, November 21, and December 5, urging immediate action. However, no resolution has been reached. On December 13, 21 patients seeking treatment at KEM Hospital, a major hemophilia care center in Mumbai, were turned away due to a lack of stock. The crisis is compounded by logistical hurdles. The daycare center at Thane civil hospital, one of the key treatment facilities, operates only until 4pm, making it inaccessible for patients travelling from distant areas. Many patients from Mumbai and other regions arrive after hours, unable to receive the treatment they desperately need. Additionally, the Thane facility has begun rationing its limited stock of clotting factors after NHM cancelled its procurement tender due to a lack of bidders. The absence of advanced, long-acting clotting factors further exacerbates the issue. These factors, which require only weekly infusions, are more efficient and cost-effective in the long run. However, they remain unavailable in government hospitals, forcing patients to endure frequent and disruptive treatments. “This neglect is creating more disabled people instead of empowering us. Without treatment, we cannot work, study, or support our families. The government is failing to protect our basic rights,” said Jigar Kotecha, honorary secretary of the Hemophilia Society Mumbai Chapter. The advocacy groups have demanded immediate action. Outlining the demands, they said there should be an uninterrupted supply of clotting factors to all government hospitals and NHM’s procurement process should be streamlined to prevent future delays. Apart from this, they also demanded an extension of operational hours at treatment centers like Thane hospital to accommodate patients from remote areas. KEM Hospital, globally recognised as a training hub for hemophilia care, is now struggling to provide even basic treatment. Advocacy groups warn that the ongoing crisis will lead to an increase in permanent disabilities, economic hardships, and preventable deaths. “Patients are crying in pain. Surgeries, accidents, brain bleeds, and abdominal bleeds pose life-threatening risks. The government must act immediately,” said Kotecha. The community has also urged Maharashtra’s Chief Minister to intervene directly and allocate state funding for hemophilia treatment, which currently stands at zero. They also demand immediate procurement and distribution of life-saving medications to all government hospitals.Exciting times lie ahead for the Madridistas.
