The Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe
Wasantha Samarasinghe responded to a claim by the Chief Opposition Organizer that government members “speak and go,” saying the Opposition could be given two full days to speak if the government were allowed to reply the following day. He argued that such conduct was not the government’s practice and questioned whether the Opposition had remained in the chamber to challenge the government’s points on farmers.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 If the Chief Opposition Organizer says, “We speak and go,” then give them two full days to speak; we will come the next day to reply. But that is not our practice. Did you even stay to question our points on farmers?
