Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, good morning. I wrote to you on 18 December stating that my Parliamentary Privilege has been breached. I am not being allocated time to speak. Today is 07 January. I have not received a response. You have written to the Leader of the Opposition, but I still have not been given time to speak. If so, there is no point in my coming to Parliament. I come from Jaffna, but there is no use—I just sit and go back. Please provide an answer.
