The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake condemned an insulting remark directed at Hon. Lakmali Hemachandra, arguing that failing to correct such conduct after it is identified is unacceptable. He recalled having warned during the Women’s Affairs Vote that the 22 women MPs should be protected, and said the person responsible had still not accepted fault even after the Prime Minister pointed it out, while also alleging that a related social media post was false.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, mistakes can happen, but refusing to correct them after they are pointed out is worse. The insulting remark made to Hon. Lakmali Hemachandra—beauty is in good deeds and good hearts; that is whom we admire. I spoke during the Women’s Affairs Vote and warned that the 22 women MPs should be protected. After the PM pointed out the fault, he still refuses to accept. It seems his social media post is false.
