Deputy Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Chathuranga Abeysinghe has sent a Letter of Demand (LOD) to YouTuber Waruna Rajapaksha over what he claims are defamatory remarks relating to the issuance of a distillery licence.
According to a statement from the Deputy Minister’s Office, Rajapaksha’s YouTube channel had broadcast several misleading and damaging allegations aimed at Abeysinghe. The Letter of Demand calls for compensation, citing harm caused to the Deputy Minister’s reputation.
The dispute is linked to recent accusations that Abeysinghe, together with MP Najith Indika, allegedly met a businessman at the Kingsbury Hotel to discuss a distillery licence under suspicious circumstances — a claim the Deputy Minister strongly denies.
