The Hon. Ananda Wijepala
Ananda Wijepala responded to a complaint raised in Parliament, stating that if an assault had occurred it would be investigated and swift action would be taken by the following day. He urged Members not to link every incident to the “Clean Sri Lanka” programme, while assuring that the complaint was not being rejected and that necessary steps would be taken to ensure justice.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, please do not try to link every incident to the “Clean Sri Lanka” programme. I asked you to provide the details. I promised that by tomorrow we will take steps to investigate. We will intervene to ensure justice. Do not tie everything to “Clean Sri Lanka.” We are not rejecting the complaint. If an assault occurred, we will investigate and take swift action. We will act by tomorrow. Like with other Members, do not drag everything under “Clean Sri Lanka”; do not descend to that level. I am listening to your question and will take necessary action. Do not entertain doubts—we will take appropriate steps.
