The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake stated that the issue being raised was not personal to him but had been brought forward by companies and citizens from Sinhala, Buddhist, Tamil, and Muslim communities. He argued that the concern was not about small monetary amounts such as Rs. 100 or Rs. 200, but about losses to the country, and questioned why similar issues were not arising in countries such as India.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 It is relevant. Please allow me one minute.
¶ 02 Hon. Member, these issues did not arise from me. I do not drive a three-wheeler. This issue comes from companies and from Sinhala, Buddhist, Tamil, and Muslim citizens living in this country. Otherwise, why is this not raised in India or other countries? Whether it is Rs. 100 or 200 is not the point; the loss is to our country, which is why we speak. It is not something I created.
