Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, please give me one minute.
¶ 02 In my absence, the Deputy Minister Watagala said I uttered falsehoods. I now table, as a CD, the recording containing his statement about Deshabandu and Sewwandi’s whereabouts and the threat to arrest them at the gas time. Please ensure the contents are recorded in Hansard. I have the statement and could publicize it, but I will not, as we do not customarily do so. Please include it in Hansard.
¶ 03 Placed in the Library.
