Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Under Standing Order 27(2), I wish to raise an urgent matter. Today in Trincomalee, a grave injustice is occurring. False statements are repeatedly made in this House. In areas inhabited by Tamils, they are again installing a Buddha statue. This is very wrong. On this, in Parliament, as a Party Leader, falsehoods are being repeated. Please take note. Thank you.
