  • 3 March 2026 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman, speaking during the debate on a Regulation under the Foreign Exchange Act, criticized the Government for not condemning attacks on Iran and argued that the President should have taken a clear non-aligned foreign policy position rather than focusing on operational matters such as oil stocks. He questioned the Government’s shift from its earlier anti-imperialist positions, cited past Sri Lankan leaders’ stances on Palestine and non-alignment, and said Iran had supported Sri Lanka through development assistance and fuel supplies. He also raised concerns about alleged Israeli activity in Sri Lanka, including the continued operation of an allegedly illegal Chabad House, visa fee waivers for Israeli nationals, and reports of IDF personnel in the country, urging the Government to uphold a principled non-aligned policy.

Mujibur Rahuman questioned why a coal supply agreement had not been cancelled despite alleged breaches of tender conditions relating to substandard coal and delayed deliveries. He cited a CEB report estimating losses at Rs. 7.6 billion, warned that further shipments could increase the loss, and argued that the proposed 13% electricity tariff increase would pass the cost to the public.

  • 19 February 2026 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman, speaking during debate on the Judicature and dangerous drugs amendment Bills, questioned a 9 February 2026 Gazette requiring re-registration of pre-2019 SIM cards, arguing that telecom operators were already obliged under TRCSL licence conditions to retain customer identity data. He linked the issue to investigations into the killings and disappearances of Lasantha Wickrematunge, Wasim Thajudeen, Prageeth Ekneligoda, Sivaram and others, saying missing telecom data had affected those cases and asking whether the Gazette would enable operators to avoid responsibility. He urged the Government to take legal action against operators if they failed to maintain required records, rather than create a process that could undermine prosecutions, and called on the President to honour campaign promises on these cases.
