Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, we have now reached the end of today’s condolence statements. Today, we expressed condolences regarding four former MPs and one former MP who was a lady: Hon. Rajavarothiam Sampanthan, Hon. A. Pilapitiya, Hon. W. B. Ekanayake, Hon. Lucky Jayawardana and Hon. Malini Fonseka. I join in expressing condolences on their passing.
¶ 02 At this moment, I particularly wish to say a few words about Hon. R. Sampanthan. I believe it is important to do so, although much has already been said about him today. I am a young Sinhala MP from the deep South of Sri Lanka speaking about a political leader who was active in our political history for a very long time—Hon. R. Sampanthan.
