Hon. (Dr.) Najith Indika concluded his remarks by criticising the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) for what he characterised as contradictory positions, alleging the party simultaneously complains that no legal cases are filed against the Rajapaksas while also objecting to restrictions on Rajapaksa-linked imports. He did not attribute specific allegations to named individuals, clarifying he had not personally identified any Rajapaksa member. He closed with a Sinhala idiom to underscore his view of the SJB's inconsistency.

Very well; we can check whose it was. I mentioned what I knew. I did not name you; I named no Rajapaksa personally. I will conclude. The SJB is in confusion—morning they complain no cases are filed against the Rajapaksas; evening they complain Rajapaksa-linked goods are not being imported. They carry bags behind others, here and abroad. In short, “Sesame is for oil; what use are bee combs?” Thank you.
