Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa’s sister Dulanjalee Premadasa has threatened to file legal action against National People’s Party (NPP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake over an allegedly defamatory statement made by him.

Counsels representing her claim Dissanayake referring to the forged currency case she had been linked to has defamed her through his statement and she therefore wishes to take legal action against him.
