Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we are deeply saddened by the deaths of the two women; such events must not occur. The Government is conducting an investigation and will take necessary action; it is prudent to refrain from detailed comment until the investigation is complete. The Health State Minister can provide further details in due course.
¶ 02 On Fundamental Rights, we share the view that the Chapter should be broadened to include economic, social and cultural rights alongside civil and political rights, underpinned by strong institutions. I appreciate the Opposition Leader’s support in this regard.
