Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, my point was that people have rejected the old political culture and ethics of the past and are now rallying around a new political culture and a new political policy. In that context, the behavior, political nature, and preferences of the people in those areas are changing in line with that policy. I did not present the opinion you attribute to me.
