The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a complaint about an incident in the Leader of the Opposition’s office regarding his speaking time allocation. He said he had not been informed of his allotted time, questioned who was deciding the order of speakers, and alleged that a person named Sujith assaulted him during the exchange.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Today, around 2.30 p.m., I went to the Hon. Leader of the Opposition’s room to ask about time allocation because nothing had been communicated to me. I arrived around that time and was taken into a room; they said they could give me 4.00 p.m. tomorrow. I asked how the order was set; they said to speak with a person named Sujith and others who decide. I said such decisions cannot be made individually by them; a party leader must answer me. Then this person Sujith hit me. I did not retaliate—he is my father’s age; if I hit him, I would have to perform CPR.
