A conflict broke out between Jaffna District MP Archchuna Ramanathan and Minister of Fisheries Ramalingam Chandrasekar during the Kilinochchi district coordination committee meeting held today (16).
Video footage shows the MP and Minister engaging in a verbal argument, after which a confrontation breaks out when the Minister attempts to take the files in the possession of MP Archchuna.
“If you lay a hand on me, I’ll lay a hand on you too… got it?” MP Archchuna warns Minister Ramalingam Chandrasekar soon after.
Police and officials present at the meeting, thereafter, intervene, preventing a further escalation of the situation. (Newswire)
