JHU General Secretary Patali Champika Ranawaka, MP, says the LTTE rump should be asked whether it had received payment from the then Premier Mahinda Rajapaksa Camp in the run-up to Nov. 17, 2005 presidential election.
Referring to a statement made by an Opposition MP (not a UNPer), UNP MP Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, PC, said that the LTTE had facilitated Rajapaksa’s victory by depriving UNP presidential candidate Ranil Wickremesinghe of Tamil voters in the Northern Province. Rajapaksa alleged that the government was making an attempt to discourage Tamil voters in the run-up to January 8, 2014 presidential election.
Ranawaka and Rajapakshe were addressing the media on Sunday (Dec 14) at Opposition presidential candidate Maithripala Sirisena’s campaign office at Havelock Road.
They side-stepped The Island query whether they believed the LTTE had paved the way for its own annihilation by facilitating Premier Rajapaksa’s win............
