4 August 2010 10:20 am

Deputy Minister Mervyn Silva, speaking in parliament a short while ago, said that he did not tie the samurdhi officer to a tree yesterday but the officer tied himself in order to set an example to others to support the anti dengue initiate of the Deputy Minister.

The Deputy Minister also read a letter from the samurdhi officer. Meanwhile the opposition castigated the Deputy Minister for his action. (KB & YP)
