Chairman of the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) Dr Neville Fernando yesterday vowed to sue Minister Susil Premajayantha seeking Rs.500 million in damages for the derogatory comments made against him.
The former UNP Deputy Minister said anyone could change the name of an institution for which he was responsible if the other members of the board were in consensus and ten years ago its earlier name was changed and renamed as SAITM.
But Premajayantha kept harping about it throwing insults trying to gain political mileage, Dr Fernando said.
