The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake said the matter raised by Hon. Shritharan was not a point of order but had humanitarian significance and had been referred to the relevant Minister. He urged that it should not be reopened as a debate and emphasized that all Members of Parliament should be treated equally, with no member considered superior to another.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, since the matter raised by the Hon. Shritharan is not a point of order, but we understand its humanitarian importance and have referred it to the relevant Minister. Therefore, it is not proper to turn it into a debate again. Hon. Speaker, we are all equal Members of Parliament; no one here is greater than another. If anyone thinks otherwise, I request that all be treated equally as Members of Parliament.
