Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake yesterday charged that certain computer hackers have begun to publish statements which he has never made on the internet using his pictures.

Mr. Ramanayake told a news conference that logs of several popular TV channels have also been used for this mudslinging campaign.

The Deputy Minister said he had lodged a complaint with the Mirihana Police about the invasion of his privacy. He assured the police that he would cooperate fully with their investigations in order to clear his name and offered to hand over all details to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID).
