The Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva
Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva raised a Point of Order under Standing Order 82(1), objecting to a Member’s statement that Hon. Rohini Kavirathna had changed her name to “Rohini L. Marathna.” He questioned the basis for the claim, stated that to his knowledge no such name change had occurred, and argued that the Member had no right to make that assertion.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order under Standing Order 82(1): “Any Member who has used objectionable words in debate which are improper and unparliamentary...” The Hon. Member stated that Hon. Rohini Kavirathna changed her name to “Rohini L. Marathna.” Did he say this with responsibility? To my knowledge, the Hon. MP has not changed her name. He has no right to make such a claim.
