Hon. Sunil Watagala objected to the tabling of what he described as a misleading document, stating that a request from the Moratuwa Police listing Public Security Committee Chairmen may be a directory but is not connected to Police Clearance requirements. He urged Members not to mislead the public by presenting such documents as evidence for unrelated claims.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Do not mislead the public waving around green papers. A paper tabled here said a request was made from Moratuwa Police, listing names of Public Security Committee Chairmen. That may be true as a directory, but it does not relate to Police Clearance requirements. Do not table misleading documents.
