Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Madam, I rise to a point of Order.

¶ 02 Those who wagged their tails in fear behind Gotabaya now come here to lecture us. Let me tell you: Hon. Member, I have spoken to you respectfully all this time. I have no further intention of doing so. Those days you said nothing; now do not lecture us. We will do our work.
