Gayantha Karunathilleka objected to the handling of a supplementary question, arguing that Ravi Karunanayake, as a senior Member, should have been allowed to ask a second related supplementary after the original Member indicated he would ask only one. He said denying that opportunity without checking consent was unfair.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, we all saw this: Hon. Ravi Karunanayake is a senior Member well-versed in practice. The original Member said he would ask only one supplementary. Then Hon. Ravi Karunanayake rose to ask the second related supplementary. Denying him that opportunity without ascertaining consent—he had stated he would ask only one—was unfair.
