The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a point of order objecting to repeated references linking him to certain containers, stating that he had already gone to court and the CID over the matter. He claimed the containers were released during Minister Bimal Ratnayake’s tenure and referred to documents received in Europe alleging weapons in “Container 323.” He requested the appointment of a committee to investigate the matter and said he was prepared to answer any authority, including Interpol.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, point of order. My name was repeatedly mentioned with “containers,” as if they were mine. I went to court and to the CID. Those containers were released during the period of Minister Bimal Ratnayake. I also received documents during a visit to Europe indicating weapons were in Container 323. I stand by that and will answer to any authority—even Interpol—if an inquiry is instituted. Please appoint a committee and inquire; do not drag my name without resolution.
¶ 02 Thank you.
