Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Presiding Member, a point of order under Standing Order 88. Hon. Prime Minister, we appreciate your clarification. However, if a Cabinet proposal was being presented at that time, perhaps the protesters could have been informed in advance—then the situation would not have escalated. Do you accept that omission?
