Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I am trying to state the truth. Give me an opportunity. Give me the final 30 seconds. I must say this. I was accused of lying. I did not lie. I told the truth. Today, journalists who reported the truth are being summoned to the CID. It is disgraceful, despicable. This is a low act. I urge that such actions not be pursued.
