The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Representing Jaffna, Dr. Ramanathan Archchuna asked to focus on human rights issues affecting Tamil people rather than Government–Opposition disputes. He specifically sought space to raise concerns such as custodial deaths, stating that he wished to speak for his constituents who are caught amid political conflict.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I represent Jaffna, allow me to highlight human issues. Tamil people, uninvolved in Government–Opposition fights, are caught in the middle. Please give me space to speak on matters like custodial deaths. I have no interest in party quarrels; I speak for our people.
