Bimal Rathnayake alleged that individuals linked to violence, including a bomber, had contested under the United National Party, and invoked the 1988-89 period to accuse UNP leaders of responsibility for mass killings and torture chambers. He challenged any attempt to deny or ignore that history in the parliamentary debate.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, the person who set off bombs contested from the United National Party. Are we to say we were born dead not knowing that, during 1988-89, UNP leaders killed 60,000 people and maintained torture chambers?
