Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I do not intend to speak further than this.
¶ 02 Hon. Presiding Member, finally I say this as well. In Parliament there were fathers and sons; were there fathers and sons; elder sisters and elder brothers; younger sisters and elder sisters. All that is gone. Only one thing was scarce: husbands and wives. Even that still exists. With the blessings of the gods!
