Ajith P. Perera rejected claims that the deceased person’s family had not expressed suspicion, calling such assertions false and insulting to the family. He argued that Parliament has a duty to establish the truth and respond to the family’s request rather than repeat false statements.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Presiding Member, they kept saying for so long that the family did not say it was suspicious. How false is that? That innocent man is dead. It is an insult to that family. We have a duty to ascertain the truth. They have requested that. What is Parliament’s duty—utter falsehoods?
