(UTV|COLOMBO) – The Minister of Justice and Prison Reforms Thalatha Atukorale on Sunday (12) condemned and rejected allegations made by the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Parliamentarian Udaya Gammanpila that an Officer attached to the United States (US) Embassy in Sri Lanka had taken several Sri Lankan Judges for a seminar in the US with the intention of interfering with the affairs of the Court.
The Government rejects and condemns the recent comments made by Gammanpila in Parliament on 08 May that contained baseless allegations against Sri Lanka’s independent judicial system and threats directed at a Foreign Diplomat, Atukorale stated in a statement.
