The Member raised a point under Standing Order 92(2)(b), objecting to the Chair’s earlier ruling on his reference to the Chemmany issue. He argued that while his remarks were ruled irrelevant, a Minister was permitted to speak about alleged injustice in the same context, and asked for equal application of procedural rules.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Under Standing Order 92(2)(b). I will speak in Tamil. I noted that when I raised the Chemmany issue as the people’s voice, the Chair said it was irrelevant and disallowed it, but allowed the Hon. Minister to narrate the “injustice” he faced there. I had asked that the Minister clarify whether it was orchestrated by politicians. There cannot be one rule for me and another for him.
