The Navy will hand over a report to the Defence Secretary today on the recent public reprimand of a navy officer by the Eastern Province Chief Minister.

Chief Minister Z.A. Nazeer Ahmed scolded a navy officer over a dispute at a recent event at the Sampur Vidyalaya.

In a video released online, the Chief Minister is seen scolding the navy officer, demanding him to "just get out from here" if he does not understand the 'protocol'.

It has been revealed that the dispute occurred after the American Ambassador was invited to stage before the Chief Minister. However, the Chief Minister was not expected at the event. It was earlier expected that he would be abroad on the day of the event. He was invited by the Governor to attend the function.

However, the navy was reportedly not responsible for the preparation of the agenda of the event.

Nazeer Ahmed has accused the Governor for the dispute. However, speaking to the local media, the Governor flatly refuted these claims, adding that he only attempted to calm the situation.
