Sri Lanka, March 16 -- Member of Parliament Rohitha Abeygunawardena has announced his intention to pursue legal action against fellow MP Vijitha Herath, citing defamatory statements made against him. Addressing a news conference in Colombo, MP Abeygunawardena asserted that he will be taking steps to send a formal letter of demand through his legal representatives.

The decision to pursue legal recourse stems from remarks made by MP Vijitha Herath concerning the position of the COPE (Committee on Public Enterprises) Committee Chairman.
