Hon. Ravi Karunanayake raised a point of order alleging that his fundamental rights had been violated because his ninth question on the Central Bank of Sri Lanka had not been answered. He said questions raised in Parliament were being left unanswered while responses were given elsewhere, and requested an independent process outside the CBSL to ascertain the truth for Parliament and the country.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. With your permission I raised that my fundamental rights have been violated. They have not answered my ninth question on the CBSL. I spoke on behalf of all 225 Members. They answer questions outside but not those we ask here. I know the Minister is helpless. Please ensure an independent process not under the CBSL to ascertain the truth for Parliament and the country.
