The Hon. Nalin Hewage
Nalin Hewage objected to the use of an insulting or improper name in Parliament and requested that it be withdrawn and expunged from the record. He argued that Members should not bring outside slurs into parliamentary proceedings and defended his right to respond to claims made by the Leader of the Opposition regarding the alleged distortion of the Dharmachakra and discussion of a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, first, Members must stop insulting others. There is no such Member by that name he used; it should be withdrawn immediately and expunged. One cannot make outside slurs inside Parliament. The Leader of the Opposition clearly said in this Parliament that the Dharmachakra was distorted and they even talked of a no-confidence against the Prime Minister. One cannot change my right to answer.
