Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, as I said, we cannot act on hearsay. If those who authored the report come forward with a police complaint or if there is a court order, we can intervene. Our policy is to investigate all matters, and we will initiate on that basis. If you table the report, we will pursue leads.
