The Hon. Jeevan Thondaman
Jeevan Thondaman raised a point of order after being referred to by a Minister regarding assaults in the upcountry, noting that earlier assurances had been given by the responsible Minister and a Deputy Minister that such incidents would be prevented. He stated that two more people had been assaulted in the previous two days and pressed the Chair for the promised response after the 30-minute period given to report on action taken had expired.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order. The Hon. Minister mentioned my name. He told me to ask from the Minister of Defence. I remind the House that a few days ago, when Hon. Mano Ganesan raised this, the responsible Minister said, “We will prevent it.” A Deputy Minister for the upcountry also said so. Yet, two more people were assaulted yesterday and the day before.
¶ 02 Later: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the 30-minute period requested to report on action taken expired one minute ago. Please provide the response.
