The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara raised a point of order during Adjournment Questions, objecting that the procedure had set a bad precedent and arguing that the Prime Minister should be given the opportunity to answer after his question. He rejected engaging in personal allegations, requested that such remarks be expunged from the Hansard, and said he had not used his microphone to slander others.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I rise to a point of order! Madam Deputy Chairperson of Committees, please give me the mike. This is the time for Adjournment Questions. You have set a very bad precedent. After I ask my question, next is for the Hon. Prime Minister to answer. The Deputy Minister had enough time to answer.
¶ 02 I am not prepared to engage in mudslinging. But instruct that all the various allegations be expunged. It is very clear in the Hansard. I have never used my mike to slander you. If necessary, I can say everything about what happened at Galle Face. But I am not prepared to do that. Therefore, please do not proceed like this.
¶ 03 Please give the Hon. Prime Minister the opportunity to answer. Where was the answer given? She has given her answer. Thereafter, you were given your opportunity.
