JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake while addressing in Parliament yesterday said, that the act of bringing Lottery Boards under Ministry of Foreign Affairs is illegal . To do so, first of all the Government should have amended the Lotteries Board Act. Hence, Lotteries Boards cannot take any decision under Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Anura Kumara Dissanayake requested the attention of the Prime Minister or the President to clear this issue in Parliament.
