Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Give me 30 seconds.
¶ 02 Politics is secondary. We can debate blame later. Today, we ask: protect innocent lives, protect property, and ensure people have three meals. Move away from the culture of handing out a lunch packet for a signature. Do not make people chase officials for onions and potatoes; feed those in distress; help entrepreneurs restart; go to the villages; supply medicines to hospitals; restore normalcy.
¶ 03 Thank you.
