Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Hon. Mujibur Rahuman criticized a political group for allegedly reversing its earlier opposition to military involvement by now supporting the use of the army in mosquito-control activities. He argued that the group had previously spread fears about militarization, India, foreign countries, and investors, and accused it of political inconsistency, including changing its stance toward Indian leaders.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Okay, Sir.
¶ 02 Today they say teach the army to kill mosquitoes. Back then in Opposition, they said, “No militarization.” What is this? We are happy they are changing, because no political movement has harmed this country as much as theirs did. They always harmed the country—made bogeys about India and other countries; made bogeys when investors came. They went to India and now say Modi is good—yes, Modi is good, but Gandhi was not. When Gandhi came, they said one thing; now Modi is good—right? The people freed themselves from their duplicitous politics. We should actually be happy they were given a government, because now we see it is not the same lot as then. Now bellies have grown; they go for VVIP meals; they dye their hair—like bloated ticks now; they weren’t like that before.
