The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a Point of Order, asserting that Standing Orders treat false statements or misleading the House as a serious matter. The Chair directed him to state the specific question rather than make a speech, noted the time limit had expired, and returned the floor to the Minister after suspending the live telecast under the Speaker’s Order of 19.03.2025.
