Deputy Minister Chathuranga Abeysinghe has lodged a complaint with the Police regarding a series of fake news posts targeting him on social media.
In a statement, the Deputy Minister said the misinformation campaign involved deliberately fabricated content.
“For years, people attacked JVP leaders with mudslinging. Since 2021, they also tried to discredit newcomers like us. But in the end, the people gave their answer. The era of politics led by corrupt parasites is over. From now on, politics in this country will be done by educated, intelligent individuals who uphold principles—better than us even,” he said.
He further added that while there are still some social media pages chasing money, public awareness of such activities will help make their duties easier. He noted that legal action is being initiated, and that clarifications may also have to be made under breach of parliamentary privileges. (NewsWire)
