Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Sir, give me a few seconds, please.

¶ 02 Because the individual concerned is your NPP Government’s district coordinator, you are protecting him. Please search your conscience. You too have children. If this happened to your child, could you act like this? That student was from the hill country. A hill-country child, unable to live in Sri Lanka due to mental stress, has died. Please think. Think as a parent and deliver justice for that child’s death. Thank you.
