S.M. Marikkar questioned whether another member was speaking as if he had participated in or been briefed about a closed-door meeting. He asked whether the Speaker had briefed that member and objected that the member was directing people to ask the Speaker while, in Marikkar’s view, distorting the matter.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, in that closed-door meeting, is he speaking as if he was a member or attended? Did you brief him? He told people to ask the Speaker—as if you briefed him. He twists everything.
