Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, I answered only because you intervened. If that hurt your feelings, I regret it. We are not sorry about raising the issue of judicial appointments; we are sorry it remains unresolved. This is the only place left to speak out after raising it before the Constitutional Council and elsewhere.
