Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, please allow me to seek a clarification from the Foreign Minister. I came to Parliament by election to represent my people, not to play to the gallery. The Minister made an important statement about my party and about the country. I should be allowed to seek clarification. The public has a right in this Parliament.

¶ 02 Hon. Minister, why are you deceiving the world? You did not say a word about Provincial Council Elections in your Statement.
