Sri Lanka opposition MP wants state media head summoned to parliamentary privileges committee

Sri Lanka's major opposition United National Party (UNP) MP Anoma Gamage has written to the speaker of parliament, Chamal Rajapaksa, requesting the Chairman of state-owned Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC) Hudson Samarasinghe summoned before the parliamentary privileges committee.

The MP stated that a speech delivered by her on February 08 at the adjournment debate of the parliament on the import and export (control) act was distorted maliciously by the SLBC Chairman to criticize and insult her in a radio programme called ‘Dasa Desin Rata Yana Atha.’ on February 21, March 22 and several other days.
