Sajith Premadasa raised a concern about national security following an incident affecting the Chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha. He argued that if an elected local government representative cannot safely conduct a public day at the Pradeshiya Sabha, it reflects a serious security failure requiring attention.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, the Chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha is not an ordinary person; he is a people’s representative. If a people’s representative cannot conduct his public day at the Pradeshiya Sabha, what does it say about national security?
