Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is shedding crocodile tears on the death of former Sri Lankan ruggerite Wasim Thajudeen, Minister Arjuna Ranatunga stated.
Speaking at a meeting in Dekatana yesterday, Ranatunga said that it was ironical to see the former president promising to launch an investigation to Thajudeen’s death.
Those who were against the Rajapaksa government had always insisted that it was not an accident but murder. Even though the death occurred in 2012, the Rajapaksa government did not launch any investigation on the matter, Ranatunga said.
The body of Wasim Thajudeen was exhumed yesterday for forensic analysis following a request by the CID.
