Colombo(News 1st) - Non-Cabinet Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe has responded to the letter issued by the General Secretary of the United National Party, Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam stating that Minister Senasinghe's conduct has violated the party constitution. In his letter of response, Minister Senasinghe stated that when considering the contents of the letter sent by fax on July 26th, it is doubtful whether the letter had been sent by the General Secretary himself.
