The Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam raised a Point of Order, responding to remarks about a COPF meeting and stating that the matter should not be politicized. He said he had previously raised concerns about the project, that opposition to it existed from the outset, and urged the Government to ensure the relevant issues are addressed going forward, particularly in the context of flooding in the district.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam, I rise to a Point of Order.
¶ 02 Hon. Member, this is not a place for politics. At the first COPF meeting you too attended, I raised these issues. The district is flooded; we do not need meetings to learn that. Our opposition to this project dates from its inception. I did not attend that meeting, but it does not mean I am unaware. I only asked that the Government ensure these matters going forward.
