Minister Rajitha Senaratne has sought a compensation of Rs 1 billion over certain false remarks made by the Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) against him, the Health Ministry said today (Jun 18).
Issuing a press release, the Health Ministry stated that the GMOA had made certain false remarks at a press briefing on June 17 this year.
Accordingly, Mr. Senaratne, through his lawyers, will send a letter of demand to the GMOA and the media institutions which had given coverage to such defamatory statements.
