The Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU)
will not take legal action against Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne, Minister of
Technology, Research and Atomic Energy Patali Champika Ranawaka stated.
Speaking at a press
conference held today (February 19), the Minister stated that despite continuous
claims by the JHU that legal action will be taken against the Prime Minister,
after comments by Jayaratne had been considered offensive towards the JHU
Leader Omalpe Sobitha Thero, the decision was overturned.
He further claimed that
the decision was reconsidered after the JHU leader had been advised by the Maha
Nayaka of the Ramanya Maha Nikaya not to clash with the Prime Minister.
