Hon. Kaveenthiran Kodeeswaran raised a Point of Order challenging Hon. Rauff Hakeem’s reference to land distribution between Kalmunai North and Kalmunai Divisional Secretariat divisions. He argued that the percentage of land falling within Kalmunai North, whether 70 percent or more, should not be treated as a valid objection in the matter being discussed.

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, I rise to a Point of Order. The Hon. Rauff Hakeem noted that although there are 29 GN divisions each under Kalmunai North and Kalmunai DS Divisions, 70 percent of the lands fall under Kalmunai North. Even if 90 percent of the lands were there, what is the issue? His argument on percentages is not valid.
