Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I wish to place before Parliament an urgent matter. We have learned that several Sri Lankans have been deceived by agents and have been conscripted into the Russian military. They have even sent their photographs from there; I have one such photograph with me showing, from left to right, Sundaralingam Balachandran, Adishtaraj Gomes Mithushan and Sujanigan Bhagirathan. I respectfully ask the responsible Minister to please take steps to bring them back to this country.
