The Provincial Minister said so in response to a query posed by our news team with regard to the statement he had made about the police FCID at a meeting held at Thissamahaaraama.
Police Media spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekera said yesterday that the above statement of the Provincial Minister had been a threat levelled at the police.
The police media spokesman said that even by now an investigation was being held regarding the matter.
However Southern Province Fisheries Minister D. A. Upul says that he did not threaten the police and that speech he delivered at the meeting held in Tissamahaaraama had been misrepresented.
The Provincial Minister said that he was prepared to withstand if legal action was taken against his statement.
