Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order under Standing Order 92(2). May we be provided the said coal-related report in Tamil as well? If you provide it only in Sinhala and English, where are we to find it in Tamil? Therefore, we request that the report — concerning our Minister’s alleged corruption — be provided in Tamil, not only in Sinhala.
