Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 You charged Rs. 65 from people and even consumed that, and for the first time I said in Parliament that Rs. 187 million was stolen—by your own Government. Remember that. Bring the rice. You have no answers. Sit down, Hon. Minister Wasantha. Do not panic. Rs. 187 million was stolen just from rice; we will reveal the others one by one. Madam Presiding Member, I need the time I lost due to interruptions.
