Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, my name was mentioned, so I respond. There is an uproar that a medicine priced at Rs. 76,000 is now sold at Rs. 370. Hon. Member, if you had asked the MP for Alawatuwala in your district, you would know who owns that company, how it was earlier Rs. 76,000 and how it became Rs. 370 now. Please ask him for more details.
