Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 You too now have to go to the police to file complaints; this question arises from that. I will briefly ask a supplementary question.

¶ 02 Hon. Minister, you know that when indictments are filed against a public officer, such duties are barred. Now indictments have been filed against you. Are you going to continue in the Ministry, or will you step down to ensure justice is done?
