Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. President, we cannot take the bait; you are the President. We respect you and listen. But we clearly presented to you what must be done. We are committed to work for the country. In politics we may say small things; you too said so. Do not deny it. How much did we talk in the Lobby about hitting the Government?
