Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, one need not be in Parliament to know the wrongdoing that occurred; the whole country knows—reported in the media. Even with court orders, the system was not followed. The present Government implemented it immediately upon taking office. The country knows we were a lawless State for a period.
