Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will not broadly challenge the previous Hon. Member’s speech. However, I strongly condemn the personal remarks made about Hon. Ranwala, which are inappropriate. Matters circulating in social media about whether he was under the influence at the time of an accident will be addressed in court. Let us not waste the House’s time on social media allegations.
