The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake responds to a reference made by another member, saying that whether it was directed at Namal or himself, he was named and it was effectively the same issue. He argues that public support reflected in the 159 votes was a response to the eras of Mahinda Rajapaksa and Premadasa, and suggests that otherwise there would have been no need for a large group of Colombo lawyers to come to Parliament.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Whether you said it to Namal or to Chamara, it is the same. You mentioned Chamara by name. Let me also say this. You spoke about the times of Mahinda Rajapaksa and Premadasa. That is why people gave 159 votes. Otherwise, two and fifty lawyers from Colombo would not have to come here.
