Member of Parliament Vijayakala Maheswaran’s speech at a public meeting in Jaffna caused an uproar in the Parliament, forcing the Deputy Minister to resign from her post. The speech was made in Tamil, and no proper translation of the speech is available in public media. The locally banned website ‘Lanka e News’ presented an English translation. Had those MPs who caused an uproar in Parliament read a translation of the speech?
