Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will conclude, Hon. Presiding Member.

¶ 02 Therefore, I urge the Hon. Minister of Mass Media to think seriously about this. Many people in society and their children could be subjected to social pressure and harm through the conduct of media persons and police media statements. We have been subjected to it; I personally have faced it, and others may face it too. Our people expected political and social transformation, and similarly, we propose that you reform this prevailing media culture within the media sector as well. Thank you very much.
