Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you for your views. Generally, a Gazette is precisely to inform; notices have gone to Divisional and District Secretaries.

¶ 02 There is no point going in circles. To obtain a definitive answer, on the 23rd the Attorney-General, all of you, and the officials will meet the committee and decide. If the Gazette needs to be halted, we will halt it under the law. We can find the proper procedure. There is no insurmountable difficulty. Humanity always finds answers after questions arise. Let us decide on the 23rd, with your cooperation. Thank you.
