The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara
Dayasiri Jayasekara objected to being called a racist, noting that the matter in question was before court and asking that the statement be withdrawn. He said his point was that police should seek advice from the Attorney-General’s Department when filing cases in both the North and South, and argued that proper legal decision-making is needed to end racism.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 What was done is clearly before court. Therefore, please withdraw the statement calling me a racist. I only said one thing: when filing cases in the North and South, please instruct the police to take advice from the Attorney-General’s Department and file accordingly. We must take correct decisions to end racism. Please remember that.
