Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 That is not for me to decide. I can read the answer as Chief Government Whip. But Party Leaders ask SO 27(2) Questions. Then it is proper that the relevant Minister answers responsibly to the Party Leader. We have no objection to reading it, and we are ready to do as Hon. Rauff Hakeem says. We will proceed that way.
