Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Presiding Member.
¶ 02 I say humbly: the Opposition that waits for the Government to fall, the racist groups that cannot bear national unity, the various forces attempting tricks and conspiracies, the so‑called social activists who pursue selfish, opportunistic politics — we have a vital duty to defeat them. We have seen many wolves worry when the sheep get wet. When the body burns, who comes to cry? We have understood this well.
