Stating that there had been a scam behind the importation of Nano Nitrogen liquid fertilizer, Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa called for an independent transparent probe on it. 

Speaking during a meeting with farmers at Bandagiriya in the Hambantora District, Premadasa said there has been a scam pertaining to the importation of Nano Nitrogen liquid fertilizer since there has been transactions involving personal bank accounts of certain individuals and private companies. 

" It is clear that funds have been transferred to bank accounts of persons and certain private companies in connection with the liquid fertilizer importation. State institutions have to be involved in the transaction if it was a government to government transaction. There is a scam involved in this and we urge the government to carry out an independent transparent investigation on it" Premadasa said.

He said  people in this country have dug their own grave in 2020 by electing the present government to power. " This was the biggest foolish act to be committed by the Sri Lankan people during recent times,' he said.
