News

Health Minister (Dr.) Rajitha Senaratne has refuted allegations of a political disucssion that is alleged to have taken place between himself and former national cricket skipper Kumar Sangakkara.

Responding to a query raised by a journalist yesterday, Minister Senaratne said that he had only discussed a health project with Mr. Sangakkara.

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.
