Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 At least a sense of respect should be shown to Hon. Members. Two supplementary questions can be asked on a question; that is why, when the original Member declined, I rose to ask. After being faulted and deprived, I cannot now ask the Deputy Minister. Please show more respect.
