Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chair, under Standing Order 52, this morning I handed over to the Secretary-General’s Office my Private Member’s Bill titled “Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) (Repeal) Bill” to abolish the PTA. Both the JVP and NPP promised to repeal the PTA; that trust has been broken. I request the Parliament Staff and the Secretary-General to expedite taking up my Bill because the country wants the PTA done away with.
