Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, at the next election we will see who returns. Also, is it true that the Deputy Minister Chathuranga Abeysinghe’s father is a Cabinet Minister? Are officials providing the Hon. Member with such data to embarrass the government? Do not make such statements to put the government in difficulty.

¶ 02 Thank you.
