The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake rejected attempts by some Opposition members to associate Hon. Ramanathan Archchuna with the Government, stating that Archchuna’s grievance appeared to be about not receiving speaking time. He said Archchuna had emerged at the Leader of the Opposition’s Kilinochchi rally rather than from the Government’s platform, and cautioned Opposition members against making such claims.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I must correct a small matter. Some Opposition members are trying to associate Hon. Ramanathan Archchuna with the Government. As I see it, his issue is that he has not received time. I must say he is someone who arose at the Leader of the Opposition’s Kilinochchi rally. He is not someone who came to our stage. Therefore, I request those Hon. Members not to throw stones while living in glass houses.
