Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, in response to Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara’s supplementary: there is no need for any fear. Dialog or any of the companies I have been associated with are not Indian companies. I reiterate: only the system setup and delivery can be done by Indian companies under the assistance; no company will be given operational control. There is no cause for suspicion. The procurement will be conducted lawfully, and our public officials will ensure the system is established to serve the Government, the country, and the people.
