Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, there are three state entities, 22 RPCs, and smallholder tea growers. For all plantation workers to receive Rs. 1,750 as promised by the President, we in the Tamil Progressive Alliance gladly support. Sir, I do not want to go into the internalities and the cost structure of the wage. It is the responsibility of the Government. Therefore, we three representing the TPA—myself, Hon. Palani Digambaram, and Hon. V.S. Radhakrishnan—vote in favour of the Second Reading.
