Harshana Nanayakkara denied that a leaflet incorrectly described him as “Attorney-at-Law,” stating that it referred to him as having worked as a Government Attorney. He challenged the opposing claim as based on a misreading of the Sinhala text and asked for documentary proof, such as a certificate, to substantiate the allegation.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 That leaflet states I worked as a Government Attorney. It does not prefix my name with “Attorney-at-Law.” Please read Sinhala correctly. Show your certificate if you have one; otherwise your assertions are baseless.
