Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, this is a one‑minute question under Standing Order 92(2)(a). I asked clearly for one minute. There is no need for conflict. You wasted 20 minutes of Parliament this morning. Hon. Minister, on 20 February a sword‑wielding gang attacked in Batticaloa; yesterday morning there was a protest; last night again a sword attack in Batticaloa town. The Hon. President said such things could happen. Please take this seriously and act urgently. That is all I wanted to ask. The problem arises because you are running this House like the MS of Trincomalee Hospital. Thank you.
