Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya

2026-02-19

Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya declined to respond to a question from a member, characterising the preceding remarks as a political speech rather than a question warranting a reply. She affirmed that her movement's practices and political culture are transparent to the public and stated that no apology or further explanation was necessary.

Hon. Speaker, there is no question to answer. The Hon. Member has made a political speech. Our movement’s practices are clear to the public, and we will not apologise for our political culture. There is nothing further to add.
