Colombo, Oct 13 (NIA) – Sri Lanka’s Finance Minister, Ravi Karunanayake, on Thursday lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) against a fake facebook and twitter account being operated as the ‘Minister’s official account.’
In a statement, the Minister said that he had no connections whatsoever with these two pages – ‘Ravi Karunanayake Lanka Intelligence and Ravi Karunanayake @RavikOfficial’ – which he said publishes news detrimental to the interests of the national unity government and the coexistence of the Sri Lankan society.
“I have informed my officials to make a complaint with the CID in these connections. Further it has already been brought to the attention of the CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team), a National Centre for Cyber Security in the country which functions as a division of LK Domain Registry with academic partners to provide computer emergency response services to the public and private sector institutions in Sri Lanka,” the Minister said.
