The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe

He said they were prepared to defend their statements in court and challenged the relevant person to come to Parliament and respond.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, for us there is no difference between inside and outside Parliament. We said this before the election; we will say it here and outside tomorrow. File your defamation; send letters of demand; come to court. We are ready to defend what we say. The crimes done to this country are not to be hidden — we will speak of them inside and outside. Do not panic. Your letter of demand shows your panic. If you fear letters of demand, we would not say this. Send them to all 160 of us; more are coming. Tell him to come here and say it — as I said yesterday.
