The Hon. Hector Appuhamy
Hon. Hector Appuhamy stated that allegations involving harassment of women should be addressed through a proper and fair procedure, rather than prolonged public accusations. He argued that such matters should be concluded within Parliament and criticized the Speaker for limiting the Opposition’s ability to ask questions, urging that issues be discussed and resolved procedurally.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 What I said was that if there was any harassment of women or such issues, there should have been a proper procedure to resolve it then—equally for both sides. That was not done. It should have been concluded in Parliament, not endlessly mudslinging. The country is watching; people have many problems; we ask questions to get answers. The Speaker hardly allows us even to ask questions. When you were in Opposition you asked many. Today we are not even allowed to ask. Let us discuss and move on—properly and fairly. That is what I said.
