Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam objected to being limited in speaking time, noting that no other Opposition Members were scheduled to speak and that his party had remained in the debate expecting to raise its concerns. He requested that the Chair consult the Secretary-General and allow additional time, arguing that unused Opposition time should be available to him as a representative of the third-largest party.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, please give me a minute or two extra—there are no other Opposition speakers today. Will you carry on the debate with only the Government? As the third-largest party, we stayed because our Leader believed you would allow us to raise our issues; now you are cutting my time when the entire Opposition time is available. Please consult the Secretary-General and decide.
