Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, throughout, we have worked within the law. The statements made by the Hon. Member are completely false and malicious. I have received nearly 150,000 votes from those very areas he names. We are not a government that kills people; we are a government that protects lives. Hon. Chamara Sampath, do not be afraid; we will ensure your security as well. We reject his statements entirely. We are building a law-abiding, just society and establishing the rule of law. Say what you will; we will act according to the law and bring all offenders before justice.
