The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna stated that despite submitting a written request on 18 December, he had not been allotted speaking time more than a month later. He urged that his request be considered and warned that continued exclusion could undermine reconciliation after the 30-year conflict. He also noted that no committee had been appointed to take up his Privilege matter.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you. Good afternoon.
¶ 02 It has been one month since I complained that time is not allotted to me to speak. I made a written request on 18 December; today is 21 January 2025. Over a month has passed and I still have not been allotted time. Kindly consider my request. If this continues, there will be no reconciliation between the two communities that fought a 30‑year war. I also learned there is no committee appointed to take up this matter of Privilege. Please—
