Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the person who made that statement is not just any MP. First, he is the Cabinet Spokesman; second, he is the Chief Government Whip; third, he is a Cabinet Minister. Why did he make such a statement? If the Supreme Court has not issued such a determination, that statement should be withdrawn. It is wrong to make such a statement.
