Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said today he was ready to take part in a debate on Tuesday over the economic policies adopted by the previous regime even with a representative of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa if he was reluctant to participate in the debate.

He challenged the former president who was also the former finance minister for a debate on the economic crisis in response to a challenge by UPFA MP Bandula Gunawardena.

“Mr. Gunawardena says my challenge to former president is similar to a cat challenging a lion. If that is the case, why is the lion so afraid of the cat,” the minister asked and said he was ready for a debate on Tuesday with anyone sent by Mr. Rajapaksa including Mr.Gunawardena. (Lahiru Pothmulla)
