¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson, granting a “Point of Order” like that is actually wrong. On what basis did you allow a Point of Order? Madam, how did you allow it? Was it because she is the wife of Minister Bimal Rathnayake?

¶ 02 Please first control the other Members and make the House silent for me to begin. Make the House silent before I start.
