Attorney-at-Law Manoj Gamage, former media secretary to ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa, has sent a letter of demand seeking Rs. 600 million in compensation from Sisira Senpathi Kahawatte, the media director (new media) of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
The legal notice, issued through D.M.M.M. Wijayaratne Law Firm, alleges that Kahawatte made false, baseless, and malicious statements about Gamage during a discussion on the Drug Regulatory Authority at a recent COPE meeting.
Gamage claims that Kahawatte distorted facts to misrepresent him, leading to defamation. The letter of demand warns of legal action if Kahawatte fails to respond.
