He asked why the Minister was avoiding his nine questions and sought clarification on whether there was a “mastermind” or multiple masterminds behind the matter. He argued that, since the President appointed the committee, the Government had a responsibility to table its report in Parliament.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Minister is avoiding answering my nine questions. The report was already presented by Hon. Mujibur Rahuman. Many matters are disclosed there. Why will the Government not table it officially today? That is your responsibility. There is talk of a mastermind or several masterminds behind this. Is that true? Since the President appointed the committee, why is the Government reluctant to table its report even today?
