The Hon. Namal Rajapaksa, Attorney-at-Law
The Hon. Namal Rajapaksa urged the Government to treat national security as a serious and non-partisan matter, criticizing time being spent on rhetoric rather than action. He said the issue was not isolated and called for a holistic programme linking national security with inclusive development and sustainability.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, I will conclude in a minute.
¶ 02 Otherwise, even when speaking about national security, one says one thing from one side and another from the other. In recent times, time has been wasted just talking. Therefore, we request you to ensure action is taken.
¶ 03 Also, do not trivialize national security. Please focus your attention on national security.
¶ 04 This is not an isolated incident. This requires a holistic approach — a comprehensive program linked with inclusive development and sustainability. We respectfully request your attention to that.
