Hon. Mujibur Rahman questioned why action had not been taken against two allegedly unregistered Chabad centres operating in Colombo 7 and Dehiwala, despite the Prime Minister previously acknowledging in December that they were not legal or registered. He noted that both premises continue to receive Police and STF security and asked the Minister to explain the lack of action after seven months.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, four such places have been identified; two are registered. In Colombo, two more places are operating — one is the Chabad House opposite Cinnamon Red in Colombo 7, and another in the Alwis area of Dehiwala. When I questioned the Hon. Prime Minister in December, she acknowledged these are not legal and not registered. Yet both have Police and STF security. Seven months have passed since December; why have no actions been taken against these illegal centres?
