The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Mujibur Rahuman stated that representatives from Rupavahini, KDU, and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority participated in an Israel tour, with the Sri Lankan Ambassador in Israel also present, indicating Government involvement because state officials require approval to travel. He framed the matter as a humanitarian issue and criticized the previous speaker’s remarks as insensitive.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, three state institutions have representatives on that Israel tour—Rupavahini, KDU, and the Ports Authority—and the Sri Lankan Ambassador in Israel has accompanied events, as seen on his Facebook posts. Without Government approval, state officials cannot go. Therefore, the Government is involved. Also, this is a humanitarian issue, and the previous speaker’s comments show a lack of sensitivity.
¶ 02 Thank you.
