He contrasted the Government’s claimed expertise with its decisions and asked why it was behaving in that manner.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Give me one minute, Madam Deputy Chairperson of Committees.

¶ 02 Since 1948, this Government is said to be formed by intelligent, educated, degree-holding people—professors and doctors—all together. Unlike before, the most “intelligent” Government was formed. Then why act in this irrational manner?
