Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Minister Anura Karunathilaka mentioned my name, saying such content is not in the Presidential Commission report. I kindly request him to read pages 117, 118, 119, 120 and 145. It is clearly stated that although the CID Director and DIG had received information a year prior, they did not act, and through dereliction of duty this attack occurred. Read those pages and see.
