Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, Standing Order 91(d) states that if a Member uses abusive or improper words while speaking or present in the House… Do not allow them to insult us. If the Minister has a file— As for my previous departure from Parliament, I know about it. I left in good faith. The people of Badulla have sent me back. So do not allow this kind of insult, Mr. Speaker. That is your duty in the Chair. But they, citing a land issue, said we robbed, and there is a case against them.
