Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 What I emphasize is this: it is not fair to keep repeating in Parliament that there is some controversy somewhere without substantiation. I said then too—if there is information, produce it. Even now you say controversy is being created. If there is such a place, it must be stated. Otherwise, it is unfair to talk about it.
