Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, when you give a Member time to speak, please first ensure the House is quiet. Since morning until 2.00 p.m. I have been waiting. As the Opposition, one from our side spoke, then another chance meant for us went to the other side again. What justice is this? Please protect my full seven minutes.
