Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 This is the debate—about theft. I am speaking about theft. You swallowed a billion dollars and then say you are investigating, asking the thief’s mother for answers. In the Rajapaksa era, could one expect justice from their military and police? Can we expect it from you?
