The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Dr. Ramanathan Archchuna referred to a past change to the GCE (A/L) district quota in 2006, alleging it prevented his immediate entry to medical college despite his rank and led to two years of litigation before he entered in 2008. He criticized members of the Rajapaksa family for questioning others’ titles while, in his account, their actions caused him to spend 10 years completing medical studies.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, give me 30 seconds. I must say this about Namal Rajapaksa’s father. In 2006, his uncle reduced the GCE (A/L) district quota. My rank was 52 and I could not go; I litigated two years and entered Medical College in 2008. Now they question others’ titles. Because of their wrongdoing, I studied medicine 10 years. I want to tell this House.
