Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri raised a point of order under Standing Orders 91(a) and 91(b), alleging that Government members deviated from the Order of the Day and made insulting remarks against Opposition members. He said requests to the Speaker to correct the situation had not been acted on, and objected to personal aspersions, challenging those making such claims to substantiate them.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I draw your attention to Standing Orders 91(a) and 91(b). The Government should have confined itself to the Order of the Day presented by the Leader of the House, but they deviated and kept berating us, forcing us to intervene. We requested the Speaker to correct it, but it did not happen. Under 91(b), I say this: they cast aspersions and called us names. I want to say this: I am a person born of my father’s genes. I challenge those who insult us—come, and through a DNA test find out who my father is.
