Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam raised a Point of Order under Standing Order No. 91(h), alleging that another Member had misled the House about a conversation in the Lobby. He denied requesting a road to his house and stated that he had instead asked about progress on a report due within six months regarding his Provincial Councils Bill, so Members could respond to public demands for Provincial Council Elections.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 My Point of Order is this, Hon. Member: Standing Order No. 91(h), misleading the House. He is misleading the House. I did not tell him in the Lobby to pave a road to my house. I told him, “Our people are continuously asking for Provincial Councils Elections; we too have to go and give them an answer. Regarding the Provincial Councils Bill I submitted, you must give a report within six months. Tell us something about that report; then we can go and tell the people.” Do not mislead the House by saying Lobby talk here. Did I ask you for any favour in the Lobby? No. Do not lie.
