Hon. S.M. Marikkar raised a point of order to table documentary evidence — copies of vehicle permits — allegedly issued to three named Members: Hon. D.M. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, Hon. Bimal Niroshan Ratnayake, and Hon. Sunil Handunnetti. He asserted that these permits were sold by the Members concerned to raise funds for their party, and challenged their credibility on matters of political integrity.

Sir, I rise to a point of order. A Member challenged me; I now table the vehicle permit copies issued to Hon. D.M. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, to Hon. Bimal Niroshan Ratnayake, and to Hon. Sunil Handunnetti. They sold these permits to raise party funds and now pretend to be puritans.
