Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 If it is Wasantha, let him go as per rules. I did a wrong thing; I regret it and have said so everywhere. I will not speak further.

¶ 02 On the Budget: Minister Wasantha Samarasinghe, when you speak of good things, we will point out the lapses. If 159 Members praise it, it still won’t work. We need at least 60 to highlight shortcomings. Do not file cases or run to the CID saying “bring more on Chamara.” It is useless.
