Prime Minister questions Gammanpila's knowledge of Hindi
A question raised in Parliament by MP Udaya Gammanpila pertaining to a statement made to the Indian Parliament by that country’s Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on a proposed bridge linking Sri Lanka and India made Prime Minister Rail Wickremesinghe question Mr..Gammanpila s knowledge of the Hindi language.
He said he was no aware of any such statement made by Mr.Gadkari to the Indian Parliament.
“The Lok Sabha Hansard is in Hindi and as I don’t understand the language I cannot confirm if Mr.Gadkari made a statement pertaining to such a bridge in the Indian Parliament,” the Prime Minister said.
Mr.Gammanpila in his question said that the Indian Minister had told the Lok Sabha on 16.12.2015 that the Lankan Prime Minister, during his visit to India, had discussed the construction of such a bridge with his Indian counterpart.
“If Mr.Gammanpila is knowledgeable in Hindi, can he say three words in Hindi,” the Prime Minister asked.
There was no reply to this Mr.Gammanpila .
