The joint opposition (JO) today lodged complaints against the five Ministers and MPs, who were found contacting Perpetual Treasuries Limited (PTL) owner Arjun Aloysius during the COPE hearings. 

Speaking to journalists outside the Bribery Commission (BC) office, JO MP Shehan Semasinghe said the complaints were lodged against Ministers Dayasiri Jayasekara, Ajith P. Perera, Sujeewa Senasinghe and MPs Harshana Rajakaruna and Hector Appuhamy.

“We requested the BC to prepare a report after checking the assets of these ministers and MPs and their relatives. Minister Jayasekara has said he is innocent and he can prove this to the BC,” Mr. Semasinghe said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Where are the complaint against MR because of looting the country?

    Ranga Saturday, 18 November 2017 06:06 AM

    Obviously they are fabricated claims to kick MR out.

    Good work!

    These are just carnivals, playing to the gallery.

    Prove your innocence to the country if you all had no under hand dealings with this crook. via DM Android App

    JO is worried that this bunch will defeat Rajapaksas in the corruption race.

    Ho Ho What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander - It is Ditta Dhamma Vedaniy Kamma at work!!!

    Harry Saturday, 18 November 2017 07:56 AM

    Yes Ditta Dhamma will be there on Monday to save his skin in masterminding with Royalists!

    Mason Friday, 17 November 2017 06:22 PM

    It now remains to be seen who is the bigger crook. MR or Aloysius. Both have helped themselves to Billions and behind them are Ministers, MPs and Henchmen. Will there be a bargain struck between the two Political factions, UPFA and UNP, and both Rouges and Supporters to go free !

    It is just a matter of a pot calling kettle black.

    As usual all politicians are fooling voters. The revelations were made by police from the data recovered from two Arjuna's phones. Get police to investigate thoroughly and presented to presidential commission within short period of time. If warranted charge sheet persons without any reservations.

    Wise Donkey Friday, 17 November 2017 07:56 PM

    This is what called 'money talks'! In Sinhala they say 'salli deyyange malli'

    They'll cling on to any floating reed to avoid drowning!

    Park Friday, 17 November 2017 08:41 PM

    I am sure Arjun has spoken to Namal Rajapakse as well and few other JO members. Any one can talk to anyone, only proof they have to provide is that the requests by Arjun was accepted and worked on.

    BV Friday, 17 November 2017 08:50 PM

    It is nothing but correct to check the telephone calls of all 225 MPs.I'm sure he would have connections with many more including those in the JO.

    Kadiya Saturday, 18 November 2017 06:58 AM

    Of course, are they going to find fault with God too, for he'd probably asked for Gods help to get him out of his dilemma!

    doc Friday, 17 November 2017 08:56 PM

    there is no excuse for MP's to receive calls or make calls to an accused of such a high profile case. To my amazement, if they are innocent, they should have declared these calls before being found out...!all smells fishy... but is it enough to prove beyond reasonable doubt...

    Sincere Friday, 17 November 2017 09:16 PM

    JO members going to BC to complain - This is the joke of the century!

    Kadiya Saturday, 18 November 2017 07:00 AM

    Just what do you expect from jokers apart from a few somersaults and jingling their bells?

    RAJ Friday, 17 November 2017 11:03 PM

    I find it very very strange these so called JO lots are going after few handful MPs. The same JO should go after Rajapakses for lots of wrong doing. Where is justice... ...

    Bala ponnampalam Saturday, 18 November 2017 01:22 AM

    Yes Mr. jayasekera in a democracy you are innocent until proven guilty. in that democracy 99.9 % are honest law abbiding citizens. but in Lanka 99.9 of the people are dishonest, so Mr.Jayasekera it is up to you to prove your honesty to the people, and outside world.

    Wije Saturday, 18 November 2017 02:55 AM

    Investigate telephone calls of all 225 MPs including Mahinda R to Arjuna Aloysius.

    Kalu Coat Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:18 AM

    The Jo should initiate action to remove the BLACK COAT from a man who stole education and respect people had for examinations and results.

    James Saturday, 18 November 2017 06:24 AM

    The Country is infested to the core with thieves to the point of no return. before by billions and now by trillions. This Third would country cannot sustain this type democracy where each party trying to set a record, who can thieve the most. Lets bring in a DICTATOR and try. Democracy may not be the answer for this country.

    TJ Saturday, 18 November 2017 07:53 AM

    look at the quality of the people going to make complaints. Judging from their background no one will take the complaints seriously

    dulan Saturday, 18 November 2017 10:00 AM

    Now taking a call is proof of bribery! Waste of everyone's time .Wait for evidence
