The Hon. Ajith P. Perera
Ajith P. Perera argued that the existence of a court “B Report” does not, under past Speakers’ rulings, automatically prevent Parliament from debating a matter on sub judice grounds. He objected to limiting the debate on that basis and added that such issues arise in the context of alleged anti-Buddhist sentiment.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson, innumerable rulings by Speakers have held that merely because there is a “B Report” in court, it does not bar discussion here of a matter said to be sub judice. Therefore, limiting debate on the basis that there is a pending case and a “B Report” exists cannot be done. These issues arise when there is anti-Buddhist sentiment. That is all.
