The Hon. Sajith Premadasa - Leader of the Opposition
The Leader of the Opposition raised a matter of privilege under Standing Order 91(c), objecting to allegations made in the House that he had uttered falsehoods. He denied the allegation and tabled two letters dated 21 and 30 August 2025 sent to the Officer-in-Charge of the Boralasgamuwa Police Station by the Public Security Committee of GN Division 280B, Badabadda, as evidence for his clarification.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, under Standing Order 91(c), it is stated that no Member shall make imputations or improper charges against another Member or refer to another Member’s private affairs. On that basis, and as my privileges have been infringed by allegations made against me in this House—that I was uttering falsehoods—I seek leave to clarify.
¶ 02 I did not speak falsehoods. I table now two letters dated 21.08.2025 and 30.08.2025 sent to the Officer-in-Charge, Boralasgamuwa Police Station. These letters are from the Public Security Committee of GN Division 280B, Badabadda, signed by its Chairman, Yasanta Ariyasena, on behalf of Abeysekara Pathiranage Sakusha Roshani.
