Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, Hon. Archchuna intentionally created difficulty for this House. Two Members were informed and sent out before raising this procedural issue. Do not engage in such unethical acts. You are misusing this Parliament for cheap politics—sending two Members out and then raising a point of order—do not do such things.
