- YOHAN PERERA AND AJITH SIRIWARDAN­A

Certain MPS had mentioned in the House that a group of Indians had been brought to the Brandix Ltd.without going through the quarantine process with the interventi­on by its security head and urged the government to make a statement in that regard as it tarnishes the image of the Company, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Harsha De Silva said yesterday

He told Parliament that a post was also circulatin­g in social media on that matter and said it was a serious allegation to make on a company which contribute­d a lot to country’s economy.

“It is good if the Defence Minister or the State Minister makes a statement on this matter whether it is false or there had been such an incident,” he said.

Minister Bandula Gunawardan­e said the Government had not made any statement citing the said company or its staff and pointed out that it was an Opposition MP who had mentioned it in the House.
