Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, in response, I did not directly attack the judiciary. What is happening is known to judges themselves; we must speak of wrongs where they occur, otherwise people suffer injustice. Parliament is the only place to raise such matters.

¶ 02 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees: These matters will be brought to the attention of the Hon. Speaker.
