The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna stated that he had submitted a Privilege matter three times and rejected an offer of a public apology from the Government side. He questioned what further recourse was available, including whether he should approach the Supreme Court or international forums, and asked whether a Tamil Member was being denied the right to raise a Privilege issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I have submitted it three times. Earlier they said the Government side will give me a public apology; I refused. I have written three times. Do I now go to the Supreme Court? You are in Government now. Do I go to a foreign Supreme Court? Do you want me to go to the UN to speak? Is a Tamil Member alone denied the right to raise a Privilege issue?
