Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I added point 08 only yesterday. Questions evolve by the second; that is why I asked on tourism. Please answer — do not be offended. You are here to answer. Who went to the marketplace? Was it me or you? Look at the promises made at the market. Because of those, we are in this mess today.
