The Hon. Chithral Fernando, Attorney-at-Law
The Hon. Chithral Fernando called for the Prime Minister to make a statement on remarks concerning the verbal subjugation of women. He linked the issue to her planned participation in a global women leaders’ forum and urged those promoting women’s emancipation to address the matter publicly in Aratchikattuwa with the relevant Chairman present.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you. It would have been even better if this was said during your own speech. Please also request the Hon. Prime Minister to make a statement. She has previously said, “Women are being subjugated here by words.” She is slated to address a global women’s leaders’ forum. Those who speak of “Maalimawa’s Silver Sign” for women’s emancipation should accompany her to Aratchikattuwa, invite the Chairman, and address the nation on this. Thank you.
