Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Very well.

¶ 02 Pay attention to this. As we take the country forward, we in the SJB, including the Leader of the Opposition, will extend full support for every qualitative, positive programme that steers the nation forward. You said the Twenty20 would make us lose our address. Even if we lose our address, if the country gains an address and the people gain a backbone, we are fine. Wishing you well, thinking of the country and not ourselves, I conclude.

¶ 03 Thank you.
