Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we raised a different matter. It was read out to me incorrectly. However, saying reforms were halted because of the Opposition and the Leader of the Opposition is wrong. That improper allegation should not be made. It was the President who did that.
