Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 You are right. We respect you. Any Minister can refuse to answer a question after we ask it. There should be shame. Do not try to bully us with the popular mandate given to your Government. You were given a different mandate. Keep that well in mind, Government. If you fear that mandate, we do not. The people of Badulla voted for us to ask what you promised. Therefore, I will not ask a supplementary question. Thank you very much.
