Hon. Vijitha Herath clarified that his earlier remarks referred to an initial draft rather than a signed agreement. He stated that Ranil Wickremesinghe, while an Opposition MP, had asked for the draft to be presented, and emphasized that his reference was to that draft and not to any finalized agreement.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I did not say the agreement was signed; I referred to the initial draft. Ranil, as an Opposition MP, asked to present the draft—remember? He blushed when it was shown. That is what I referred to—not the agreement.
