Responding to questions at the weekly Cabinet briefing Rambukwella noted that the discussion at the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) parliamentary group meeting was just a sounding out of ideas and was not a decision by the Government.

“It is best that other stakeholders are consulted on the repercussions of this move and therefore the Government has decided to postpone any ban for a month,” he said.
