The special Cabinet meeting on Avant-Garde controversy will be held on Monday, not Wednesday, Cabinet Spokesman Dr. Rajitha Senaratne said yesterday.

President Maithripala Sirisena had earlier said that the meeting will be on Wednesday.

This comes following the heated exchange in the Cabinet meeting last evening, when Dr. Rajitha Senaratne and Patali Champika Ranawaka had criticized Law and Order Minister Tilak Marapana.

They accused Marapana of trying to make a serious matter appear trivial and questioned him being the lawyer of the Avant-Garde Maritime Securities company.
