The Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha
Nalin Bandara Jayamaha said he had stated, based on information received, that certain arrests were made under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. He declined to withdraw the statement solely on the Minister’s assurance, saying he would verify the matter with lawyers and withdraw it the following day if investigations showed it was incorrect.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I stated that they were arrested under the PTA based on information I received. I will not rely only on the Minister’s word; I will check with lawyers, and if it is not so, I will withdraw it tomorrow. I will not withdraw now as per his statement. If investigations confirm otherwise, I have no issue withdrawing the statement tomorrow.
