The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake clarified that his brief interventions in the House were made with the consent of Hon. Chanaka and the Chair, not by virtue of his position as Leader of the House. He added that such opportunities would be available to others if they became Leader of the House, and expressed the wish that Hon. Rasamanickam would also have that opportunity.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 When you become the Leader of the House you will get that opportunity. Secondly, Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, I rose each time with the consent of Hon. Chanaka. With the speaker’s consent such brief engagements can happen; it is not because I am Leader of the House. I wish that Hon. Rasamanickam too will have the opportunity to become Leader of the House.
