The Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe
Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe stated that allegations made in the House, particularly regarding Prabhakaran’s weapons and national security threats, were being broadcast live and should not be made without evidence. He urged those making such claims to appear before the relevant authorities, including the CID, and provide evidence rather than using Parliament to spread falsehoods.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, I draw your attention to this: this sitting is being broadcast live. Therefore, the lies uttered here are immediately aired to the public. I urge that those who made such claims go and give evidence without fear to the relevant authorities. Those who spoke of Prabhakaran’s weapons and a national security threat are now afraid to go when the CID calls. Go and give evidence. Do not use this House to tell lies; this is not a place to lie.
