The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna clarified that his earlier remarks reflected requests received from the public, particularly women, and were not intended as a personal position against the views of Muslim Members. He acknowledged the points made by Hon. Thahir and Hon. Hisbullah and emphasized his respect for Islam as a long-established religion.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, please allow me one minute.
¶ 02 I wish to clarify a few points regarding what our Muslim brother said. I merely conveyed requests that came from the public, particularly women. I accept the views expressed by my brothers, including Hon. Thahir and Hon. Hisbullah. Islam is not a small religion as some may think; it has developed over millennia.
