Sajith Premadasa objected to the characterization of issues affecting teacher development officers as not being of national importance. He argued that the Government had sought their support during the election and should now treat their concerns as a nationally significant matter.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Not teacher trainees, but teacher development officers. How can you say that is not a matter of national importance? It matters to us. It matters to us as a nationally important issue, even if it does not matter to you. You went during the election time, took their votes, took power, and now you say it is not nationally important. It matters to us.
