Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 This happened to me personally, so I must state it. I came to Parliament for the first time. I went to the Opposition Leader’s Office to check my speaking time allocation. There, a person named Sujith assaulted me. If such things happen within Parliament, how can we go on the streets?
