She told a conference that Mr. Gamlath had committed an offence as a public servant by talking to the media on certain issues.
“I requested President Maithripala Sirisena to take action against him and the President’s Office had assured me that action will be taken,†the minister said. “We have no issues with his political ideology but he has violated procedures which a public servant should follow.â€
