The Hon. (Dr.) (Ms.) Harini Amarasuriya
Harini Amarasuriya responded to criticism during the debate, stating that the Government had repeatedly explained the Clean Sri Lanka project and that she had already addressed it as Prime Minister. She said it was her duty to answer what she described as baseless allegations and rejected attempts to instruct her on how to participate in debate.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, during a debate one must also respond. We must answer the baseless allegations. If you are hurt when we respond, there is nothing I can do. I believe all who spoke earlier from our side have repeatedly explained the Clean Sri Lanka project. As Prime Minister, I have already spoken on this. If more is needed, I will. But as Prime Minister, it is also my duty to respond to the baseless allegations being made.
¶ 02 So no one needs to teach me how to debate.
