Hon. Mano Ganesan objected to references to the late Ranasinghe Premadasa and demands that his son apologise, calling such remarks inappropriate. He urged the Government to move beyond rhetoric and state concrete policies for hill country people, specifically asking for its land and housing plans, whether housing would be apartments or individual houses, and how much land would be allocated.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Please give me a little more time, Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees.

¶ 02 Dragging in Ranasinghe Premadasa who passed away about 32 years ago and saying his son should apologise is shameful and painful. Do not do that. Without cursing anyone, without speaking like in election times, without wailing or shouting, please tell us what you are going to do. Until now you have done nothing for the hill country people—only talk. At least announce your policies in your speech. What is your land policy? What is your housing policy? Apartments or individual houses? How many perches will you give? I ask for answers and take my leave. Thank you.
