The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Mujibur Rahuman clarified that the Samagi Jana Balawegaya and the Leader of the Opposition had condemned the war and related attacks, citing deaths of children in Iran and the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader. He questioned why the Government and Foreign Ministry had not issued a condemnation and called on the Member to ask the President to state the Government’s position.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, since my name was mentioned several times, please allow me a brief clarification.
¶ 02 The Leader of the Opposition has already condemned this war in Parliament, stating we are against it and against such attacks. That is the Samagi Jana Balawegaya’s position, and ours as well. Due to attacks, 165 children in Iran died at once. Yet no one in this Government condemned it. The supreme leader of Iran was assassinated—a head of state. Even now, the Foreign Ministry website has no condemnation. The Hon. Member should ask the President what the Government’s stance is—do you condemn it or not?
