Harin silent on Diana’s cannabis proposal

Tourism Minister Harin Fernando, in Parliament, referred to State Minister Diana Gamage as Princess Diana yesterday.

Responding to a question by SJB Ratnapura District MP Hesha Withanage whether the government had approved a proposal by State Tourism Minister Gamage to legalise cannabis to earn foreign exchange, Minister Fernnado refused to comment.

You must ask the question from Princess Diana, the Minister said, and soon after that he apologised for the mistaken reference and told the MP to ask the question from Diana Gamage.
