Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Please allow one more minute, Hon. Presiding Member.

¶ 02 We are not taking a side here. On one side, there are our people; on the other, our Sri Lanka Freedom Party supporters. So while you do justice on Batalanda, we too will speak on the murders of our organizers, SLFP members and former Ministers. We will also present the Presidential Commission Report on the assassination of the renowned statesman, Vijaya Kumaratunga. With that declaration, I conclude.
