The Hon. Sunil Watagala, Attorney-at-Law - Deputy Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs
Hon. Sunil Watagala raised a Point of Order denying a social media claim quoted by Hon. R.M. Ranjith Madduma Bandara that allegedly linked him to a statement about the Dalada Perahera. He asserted that he had never made such a statement, urged Members to act responsibly in the House, and demanded that any claim attributing the remark to him be supported with a link.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order. The Hon. R.M. Ranjith Madduma Bandara quoted a statement linking me to a claim about the Dalada Perahera. That is a social media falsehood. I never said that. Members must be responsible. This House is not for laundering social media garbage. If you claim I said it, provide the link.
