Deputy Minister Premalal Jayasekara has vowed to walk naked in the Ratnapura town if anybody could prove he had obtained through illegal means any land belonging to estate companies.

Responding to media reports that the STF had been deployed to retrieve three acres of land, which he is alleged to have grabbed from an estate in Nivithigala, Mr. Jayasekera said his detractors should prove the allegations they had made against him.

At a meeting held at the Nivithigala Divisional Secretariat on the encroachment of estate lands, he is reported to have cursed those making false allegations against him. (Lasantha Niroshana)
