The Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam urged the Government to fulfil commitments in its election policy statement, particularly regarding repeal of the Prevention of Terrorism Act. He requested that the committee report on the PTA be made public and shared with Members, and questioned the Government’s position on the Online Safety Act and its plan for accountability commitments made internationally.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Alright, no need to waste time on that. I will finish in a minute.
¶ 02 At this moment, Hon. Vijitha Herath, as a Cabinet Minister, is seated in the front row. All we ask is to deliver on the promises in your election policy statement. I discussed the Prevention of Terrorism Act with the Hon. Minister. He said a Committee was appointed and that the Committee Report has been received. I request that the Committee Report be made public and given to us so we know what is being done about repealing the PTA. We still do not know your position on the Online Safety Act. On accountability, you have given promises internationally. But I do not know whether you even know what your plan is. I do not know whether you know your own position on accountability.
