Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I reiterate: I brought that Motion to signal that the Opposition supports the Government’s own proposal. Since our leaders say it was not discussed at the Committee, someone has arbitrarily blocked it. Please look into it. I express my displeasure at suppressing that Motion. Now, I proceed with today’s Motion.
