Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, we asked Hon. Chamara Sampath, who raised that matter, to submit whatever information he has. No such material has been presented so far. Therefore, it appears he made that statement without a basis. If you now say there is such a controversy, there is still no foundation. If there is information somewhere, it should be submitted with a proper basis.
