The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Mujibur Rahuman raised a Point of Order under Standing Order 91 to correct what he said was a misrepresentation by Hon. Najith Indika of his earlier remarks. He stated that he had tabled a letter from the Director-General of Health Services to an investigating committee concerning the reported suspicious death of a Ministry of Finance officer, and argued that any allegation of falsehood should be addressed to the Director-General rather than directed at him.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, I rise to a Point of Order.
¶ 02 Under Standing Order 91, I state this: While I was absent from the Chamber, Hon. Najith Indika misrepresented a speech I made this morning. I must correct the record. Regarding the death of the officer of the Ministry of Finance, I tabled a letter written by the Director-General of Health Services, Dr. Asela Gunawardena, to the investigating committee. It clearly states, I quote:
¶ 03 “According to the said letter, it has been reported that Nishshanka Arachchilage Seelawathi, a resident of Pahala Veerambuwa, Kuliyapitiya, within the Kuliyapitiya Police Division, has informed that her husband, Abeysinghe Mudiyanselage Ranga Nishshanka Rajapaksha, died under suspicious circumstances on 30.04.2026.”
¶ 04 If there is falsehood, act against that Director-General—do not threaten me. Those who were too ashamed to visit the funeral house of their own party supporter now come here and bluster. If you seek retribution, seek it from Asela Gunawardena.
