Hon. D.V. Chanaka disputed Minister Wasantha Samarasinghe’s account of a prior remark, stating that he had recordings showing the Minister referred to “Sama Posha.” He said he had requested the relevant Hansard record, which was not yet printed, and indicated the matter could be verified once it became available.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister Wasantha Samarasinghe, I am the one who spoke about “goss.” I was here even that day when you spoke. I have the recording. You said “Sama Posha.” Shall I play the recording and show it? Listen to this.

¶ 02 (At this stage, an audio recording was played.)

¶ 03 There is also a video of this segment. I have requested the Hansard. The Hansard is not yet printed; we will get Hansard 6006 in due course. Once we receive it, let us see, Hon. Minister. I do not know whether you kept “woods” in mind and then said “Sama Posha” from your mouth, but please watch the recording.
