The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna questioned the basis for action taken against him, stating that unlike Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, he had not made any remarks outside Parliament. He said the Speaker’s letter did not refer to the 323 containers and that his statement was taken based on remarks made in Parliament, expressing concern over the handling of the matter.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, please count the 10 seconds. You said the Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara was summoned because he said something outside Parliament. But I have never said a single word outside Parliament. Where is this Parliament going? The Speaker gave me a letter, and nothing was mentioned there about the 323 containers. My statement was taken based on my speech in Parliament. This is a joke! Parliament has become a joke, Sir! Thank you.
