Minister calls Prabhakaran 'as witness'

A senior cabinet minister in the Sri Lankan government called upon Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran to reveal whether the president provided them with funds worth billions.

Chief government whip Jeyaraj Fernandopulle said in Colombo on Wednesday that the government will initiate investigations "if the LTTE claims that Mahinda Rajapaksa provided 15 billion Rupees as alleged by Sripathi Sooriyaarachchi and Tiran Alles".

Presidential 2005

Former Foreign Minister, Mangala Samaraweera, and MP Sripathi Sooriyaarachchi have called upon the speaker in March to appoint a parliamentary select committee to probe alleged secret deals between the Rajapaksa administration and the LTTE.

Government parliamentarian Sooriyaarachchi and businessman Alles along with the former foreign minister allege that Mahinda Rajapaksa provided the LTTE with funds to force Tamils under their control to boycott the presidential elections held in November 2005.

Rajapaksa who was prime minister at that time won the presidential elections with a thin majority over main rival, United National Party leader, Ranil Wickramasinghe.

Consequently, Alles was appointed head of the civil aviation authority under the Rajapaksa administration.

Counter allegation

Meanwhile, Sooriyaarachchi told the BBC Sinhala service that the home of Tiran Alles was raided on Wednesday and documents and video tapes that carried evidence on alleged deals with the LTTE was removed along with one million rupees.

Alles was released on bail by the Colombo Magistrate courts on Wednesday after being held in custody on allegations of providing funds to Tamil Tigers.

Evidence 'lost'

Sooriyaarachchi said that Alles has informed the police investigators, "all evidence on the Mahinda Rajapaksa deal with the LTTE conducted by Basil Rajapaksa and senior government officials will be handed over".

The material taken away from the Alles residence had "incriminating evidence on the Mahinda-LTTE deal" added Sooriyaarachchi.

Hope you are doing fine Ginseng...

If all these accusations are true then there's no way that ass Vellupuli Prabakaran will admit or give an "eyewitness" account of these alleged deals because if these allegations are true then obviously Prabakarn knows he will gain from Mahinda being in power. If he says that these things are true then Mahinda might be asked to step down by parliament.

Let's see what happens next.

I'm fine but this conflict does hurt. :(

The real reason I'm into this is because in school for a mock MUN I was asked to do research for my group, that's when I was dragged into all of this.

Just to add some balance to my earlier post, in case these accusations are not true then these ministers are lying for some reason and LTTE then acted on their own to make sure Mahinda won the elections by stopping NE from voting.

Either way it's clear that LTTE wanted Mahinda in power, but why? My best guess would be that Mahinda's hard line stance can be easily used in LTTE propaganda to gain support for them. I really think that the LTTE's main objective in all of this is to "legitimize" them selves in the eyes of the International Community.

If Mahinda has nothing to hide (in the sense that he is in power to help people not make money) which is a real possibility considering that there are liars all over the news media today, then yes lets see what happens next.

Who's smarter that bastard Praba or Mahinda?

Sorry Brother, Dont talk like that... Still they are the Leaders in Sri Lanka... So I cannot accept a tamil person calling them as idiots.

You are permitted to call Prabhaharan as an Idiot or whateva... But you cannot call SL leaders like that eventhough they do wrong sometimes...

Atleast until we are 100% sure that you are not a LTTE supporter.!!!

[x-pert]

I heard the whole story yesterday and the People in Australia really liked the way he talked.. That s the fact...

Eventhough US and UK are not with us, all the other countries are there. China, Japan, India, Pakistan etc.

So do we really need US and UK support to win this f** war..??

No buddy... Wait and see whats gonna happen. Austrlia is also gonna support SL soon...!!

[teron]
