An argument ensued between former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa during the All-Party Conference that was convened today.
The argument broke out after United National Party (UNP) leader Ranil Wickremesinghe requested the Finance Minister to provide a copy of the report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the negotiations with Sri Lanka.

Upon being requested for the report, the Finance Minister responded that they have only received a draft and not the final report in full as yet.
When MP Wickremesinghe attempted to clarify the matter, stating that the IMF had announced that the report has been sent to Sri Lanka, and the Finance Minister was claiming otherwise, an argument broke out between the two individuals. (NewsWire)
