Colombo, April 10 (Daily Mirror)- State Minister of Primary Industries Chamara Sampath Dasanayake is alleged to have severely accused and threatened the Human Resources and Administration Assistant of the Lanka Phosphate Company H.D.V.K. Chandraratne in the presence of the officials of the Ministry and the company.

The trade union Sri Lanka Nidahas Sevaka Sangamaya has informed the Minister that it will resort to trade union action in case of a recurrence of similar incidents in the future.

Meanwhile, the official concerned has requested the Chairman of the Company Sandya Ambanwela to hold a formal investigation into the incident.

The official said the Minister called her for a meeting at the Ministry and threatened and severely scolded her in the presence of the Chairman and several senior officials of the company, on an allegation that she had harassed a casual employee.

Representatives of the trade union said the casual employee involved in the incident has now been transferred to the Ministry although an investigation into the incident has not been held yet.

An uneducated human rights violating crook known for harassing women. The fact that this obese scumbag, who shows no behavior towards women, was even allowed to enter parliament, let alone become a minister, is a shocking disgrace.

What else can anyone expect from Sri Lanka's uneducated ministers and politicians?

Sign of developed country is when Minister can't place their friends and relatives in the portfolio they control. Sri Lanka is crooked to the hilt.

Chamara has safe guarded his political appointee, his mistress?

The woman harassed a casual employee, I am not surprised. Some people look down on others. The public too have to endure disrespect and disregard at post offices, pradeshiya sabas, and most other government run institutions. It is a culture of the small minded people to think they are big shots when they are given a little responsibility.

This guy is another thug in the government and the president don't seem to care of the thuggery created by these goons as long as his post is secure.

This has two sides know. She harassed a casual worker and probably minister has inquired about it. Now that woman may have gone and told the trade union boss that she was threatened. It is high time to get rid of trade unions. Probably minister can do this once more so that the union terrorists will start a strike. Then sack the whole lot.

A bull in a China shop. Needs to be kicked out of parliament at the earliest opportunity.

Another crown of antlers for the people of Badulla, for electing this fat scumbag as their MP over well mannered, highly educated, hardworking gentleman in the shape of Widyaratne! Sampath is behaving in the only way he know. You reap what you sow.

This is plain thuggish behaviour.

Who is Chamara Sampath? For Ranil he could be a great politician but for us he is a rowdy loafing in the streets begging people for help.
