They are going to probe an NGO activist’s complaint that the LTTE, a banned organisation, was ‘promoted’ at a recent SLPP rally in Anuradhapura, according to […]
In a recent development, Sri Lankan police are investigating Opposition politician Ramanathan Archchuna, who admitted to being a member of the banned LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) during a recent SLPP rally in Anuradhapura. The police are also probing allegations that pro-LTTE groups residing overseas backed the JVP-led NPP's election campaigns, as claimed by Archchuna.
Meanwhile, a separate investigation is underway into claims that the SLPP engineered the 2019 regime change with the help of the National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ), which was involved in the Easter Sunday carnage. The investigation suggests that Alawdeen, the father-in-law of one of the Easter Sunday suicide bombers, provided speedboats to Zahran and his associates.
Additionally, the report highlights the alleged involvement of both northern and eastern terrorists in the Rajapaksa family's rise to power.
