Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, when someone is fixated, they tend to assume others are doing what they themselves would. I state responsibly that I will submit the outstanding data to the House. The first supplementary is unrelated to my tenure; those events occurred 10–11 years ago. I have been Minister for one and a half years. Please proceed to the second supplementary.
