Mujibur Rahuman criticized the Leader of the House for opening the debate with attacks on the Opposition and the Opposition Leader.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Leader of the House began the debate by attacking the Opposition and the Opposition Leader. He accuses us while those on the Government front rows once voted for the Rajapaksas. Do not lecture us now about parliamentary traditions; in 2022 you rallied people at the Parliament junction. Do not now preach about safeguarding parliamentary norms.
