The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Chaminda Wijesiri raised a Point of Order under Standing Order 91(c), objecting to what he described as an improper allegation made by the State Minister that appeared to implicate him. He denied the implication, noting he had resigned from the previous Parliament, and challenged the Government, the Minister of Public Security, and the Minister of Justice to prove within a week any allegation that he had taken a bribe.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order. Under Standing Order 91(c), no Member shall make improper allegations against another Member. The way the Hon. State Minister spoke, the improper allegation was directed at me. I resigned from the previous Parliament; thus, I stood up because it was as if it was said of me. If the Hon. State Minister—who has Police under his purview as Minister of Public Security—knows who that Member is, and if such acts were done, if I took that bribe during the period I was out, then if you have any backbone and courage, and if this Government has strength, I challenge you: I will give you a week. Prove it together with the Minister of Justice.
