Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson of Committees, he mentioned my name again. Give me a minute to clarify.
¶ 02 I was very clear: two orders had been made — I did not specify this Magistrate or that Magistrate. They asked me to prove whether there was an order from a Magistrate’s Court for arrest. I produced both orders. You said I could not, but I did. So what more is there to say?
¶ 03 First, she was transferred to the Colombo Fort Court while this matter was ongoing. After transferring her to Fort, then the other one was sent to Kesbewa.
¶ 04 Yes, the other one.
¶ 05 Madam Deputy Chairperson, ask him now to say that India did not carry out the Easter attacks. Give him a minute, let him say it. Why are you not saying it? Went to India—
