Sri Lanka, June 20 -- Former Major General Suresh Sallay, who was hospitalised whilst under detention orders, is boycotting food intake by mouth only, states Minister of Health Dr Nalinda Jayatissa.

The Minister mentioned that Suresh Sallay has not refused to receive food through medical methods.

The Minister further stated that otherwise, no one could live without food for this long.

Speaking to the media after an event held in Colombo, the Minister said that this attempt made by former intelligence chief Suresh Sallay is a useless act.
