Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, please give me a minute. The Member has taken my words out of context. She clearly stated I denied the anomaly — which is false. I can explain in detail; if possible, broadcast the six-minute video here. I explained comprehensively.

¶ 02 Today I will clarify this in detail. As a teacher, if she does not know the salary anomaly, let her ask me in this House.
