The Hon. Wasantha Piyathissa
Wasantha Piyathissa objected to an interruption during a half-hour debate allocated for issues affecting persons with disabilities, saying it disrespected and took time away from that community. He stated that the present government had given unprecedented attention to persons with disabilities, including before the election and in its party commitments.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Half an hour has been set aside to speak on behalf of persons with disabilities. By speaking unnecessarily during that half hour, you are causing a great insult and disrespect to persons with disabilities, Hon. Member. Please understand that first. Even so, it is you who are taking time away from people with disabilities.
¶ 02 Hon. Presiding Member, no government in history has paid as much attention, even before an election and as a party, as the present government has to persons with disabilities.
