Ajith P. Perera disputed a claim that Prof. Udugamasooriya had prepared an adopted National Science Policy free of charge, stating that the document referred to was only a manifesto document. He argued that presenting it as a national policy was misleading and suggested it amounted to dishonesty.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, the Hon. Member said Prof. Udugamasooriya worked free and prepared a National Science Policy. But that refers to the manifesto document, not an adopted national policy. A National Science Policy is not this kind of document. It is misleading to suggest otherwise. It appears a lie and a fraud.
