Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a procedural concern about consistency in expunging unparliamentary words from the record. He noted that a word he used the previous day had been expunged after Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara requested it, and asked whether a word allegedly used by Jayasekara to abuse another Member would likewise be removed.

¶ 01 Thank you, Sir. Yesterday, addressing the Speaker, I used a word which has been expunged on the order of the Chair. Then Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara asked for that to be expunged. Today he abused another Member with another word which has also been expunged. Will that too be removed?
