The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
M. Nizam Kariapper objected that his allotted speaking time had been reduced from seven minutes to three minutes, questioning how and why the change was made and whether the time had been taken from the Opposition. He declined to proceed with his speech in protest.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 In that event, Sir, I do not want to speak. I have been allotted seven minutes. How did it become three minutes? Why did they make it three minutes from seven minutes? I am not going to speak. I was informed that it was seven minutes. How it became three minutes, I just do not understand. Was that time taken from the Opposition? You can do whatever you want, Sir. I am sorry.
