The Hon. Namal Rajapaksa, Attorney-at-Law
Namal Rajapaksa briefly responded after his name was mentioned, acknowledging Hon. Nihal Galappaththi as a senior MP from his area whom he respects. He declined to engage further, adding only a figurative remark that “pots can be broken only because they are empty.”
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson of Committees, I won’t take long. Since he mentioned my name, I will say this: Hon. Nihal Galappaththi is a senior MP of his party and someone I respect from my area; therefore, I will not say anything more. One can break pots only because the pots are empty. That’s all I will say.
