Complaint To Be Filed Against Gotabaya Rajapaksa Over Gunaratnam's 'Arrest' In 2012

November 11, 2015

The Frontline Socialist Party will lodge a complaint at the Police Headquarters against former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa for his comments on the 2012 abduction of Kumar Gunaratnam.

Rajapaksa told a weekend newspaper that he received information and photos from the current JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake to make the 'arrest'. Dissanayake repeatedly urged him to arrest and deport Gunaratnam, Rajapaksa also claimed.

He also alleged that Anura Dissanayake helped to verify certain photos of Gunaratnam.

However, at a recent press conference, Anura Dissanayake vehemently denied these allegations and called for the questioning of Rajapaksa over the matter.
