Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Please give me 20 seconds.

¶ 02 Also, another Minister says that our people have been killed, but that they cannot say it because they are using the law, and therefore they cannot speak about our people being killed. That is the condition to which this country has descended. That is the condition under which this Government is trembling. Shame! It is a shame to say this!

¶ 03 Thank you, Hon. Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy, for bringing this Adjournment Motion.
