The Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam raised a point of order responding to Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen, denying that he or Hon. Hizbullah had taken members from Bathiudeen’s party. He stated that ITAK had supported SLMC electorally and in forming local administrations, including previously at Ottamavadi and currently at Sammanturai, and called for the parties to discuss and resolve the matter without bringing SLMC–NPP issues into ITAK.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Presiding Member, I rise to a point of order.
¶ 02 Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen, neither I nor Hon. Hizbullah stole your party members. ITAK agreed to support SLMC; we asked our voters to back SLMC. Last time, ITAK supported you to form the administration at Ottamavadi. Likewise, this time, you were supported to form the administration at Sammanturai. We have not aligned only with SLMC. Come—let all of us sit together and resolve this. Do not inject SLMC–NPP issues into ITAK.
