She argued that stronger enforcement of the law is compelling politicians to change, and that such rejected practices are naturally disappearing from public life.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I believe the people have already made that decision and ended that culture. Even politicians are compelled to change because the law is now enforced. That old culture is fading; political traditions representing it are weakening and disappearing—the natural order of things. When people reject them, they go into extinction. That is what we are seeing now.
