The Hon. Lakshman Nipuna Arachchi
Under Standing Order 82(2)(a), the Member objected to an Opposition-linked allegation reported in the “Aruna” newspaper concerning a girl’s suicide. He stated that the claim implicating a ruling party organizer in Colombo Central was false and requested that the matter be removed from the Hansard or otherwise addressed appropriately.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I raise this under Standing Order 82(2)(a).
¶ 02 This morning we discussed a girl’s suicide. The Opposition said they would not politicize it. But today’s “Aruna” reports: “Allegations regarding the girl’s suicide are aimed at the ruling party organizer in Colombo Central.” This is entirely false, Hon. Deputy Speaker. No such person of ours is involved. Please either have this removed from the Hansard or addressed appropriately.
