Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Keep your no-confidence somewhere else. We can defeat you even with a few of our Western Province MPs. The people put the Opposition into this state because they demanded a cultural change and wanted that reflected in Parliament. Debate and argue, but maintain some ethics. Please conduct yourselves accordingly. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the time.
