¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order.

¶ 02 Hon. Speaker, I wish to ask the Hon. Ananda Wijepala, Minister: He said those Development Officers were not arrested under the PTA. But you did not state that an Intelligence officer had slashed with a blade and injured police officers there. Do you hold any view on that? Who deployed that Intelligence officer, and what exactly happened? Please clarify.
