Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, briefly on what Hon. Mujibur Rahuman raised—this matter has been discussed for four to five days. We have resolved it. After it was resolved, again there is discussion about a clearance certificate. The Hon. Member correctly said it “may have happened then.” Indeed, it happened then; not under us. That is the difference.
