The Prime Minister told Parliament that instructions have been given to respective authorities to take disciplinary action against the media spokesman after an inquiry.
He said this in response to a question raised by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa that action must be taken against the CEB spokesman who had said that children should study under the light of oil lamps.
The Opposition Leader added that the spokesman also had stated that men in estates consume booze after 2 pm and that it was an insult to the estate community.
He urged the government to interdict the spokesman and launch an inquiry.
