He also refuted media reports claiming that the discussion had taken place for two hours.
"That is a blatant lie. The discussion lasted for only 10 minutes" Minister Senaratne retorted.
The Health Minister had also told reporters that discussing politics with Sangakkara was pointless since he is a good cricketer.
"Politics must be discussed with those involved in politics" the Health Minister said.
