Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. Regarding Hon. Nalin Bandara’s statement on paddy purchases: he said only 16,000 MT have been purchased. That is false. I have obtained the latest report. Purchases now exceed 25,000 MT, with buying points at over 140 locations nationwide. Stores previously ruined have been rehabilitated step by step. Please do not present false information while using parliamentary privilege.
