Video: Champika to take legal action against Udaya
Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka’s media unit said today legal action would be taken against UPFA Colombo District candidate Udaya Gammanpila for making a false allegation that Minister Ranawaka had spent Rs. Rs. 140 million for his election campaign.
Minister Ranawaka’s media secretary Danushka Ramanayake told a news conference that anyone can question the minister’s assets and take legal action against him, if they had any doubt about their accuracy. “There were provisions in the law to question and take legal action against the minister if they have any doubts about him,” he said.
Mr. Ramanayake said Minister Ranawaka and his organizers had taken steps to act in a transparent manner in carrying out their election campaign so far. Rejecting a news item that appeared in the print media that mobile phones had been given to some media heads he said legal action would be taken against the institution for spreading false propaganda about Minister Ranawaka.
The “Maithri Mithuro” Foundation, convening a news conference, said that as an organization comprising business leaders they were supporting clean politicians who could render a yeoman service towards the country which included Minister Champika Ranawaka and Arjuna Ranatunga.
UPFA Colombo District candidate Udaya Gammanpila had earlier charged Minister Ranawaka had made preparations to spend Rs.140 million for his election campaign and urged him to disclose the means he used to collect these funds. (Ajith Siriwardana)
