Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chair, give me one more minute!

¶ 02 Education is moving from darkness to light. Our community still lingers in darkness because past Governments did not provide proper education. Leaders like Hon. Mano Ganesan fought for better education for our community; some Governments ignored it. Let us unite for our hill-country people. Thank you for the opportunity.
