The Joint Opposition (JO) today said the Indian national, who claimed of a plot to assassinate President Maithripala Sirisena, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his family members, was identified as an India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) member bearing the RAW identity card number of RB317217/VJ.

JO member MP Wimal Weerawansa told a news conference that they had investigated on this issue and had found out that the Indian national who was arrested in Sri Lanka was named Rajendra Kumar and he was working for the RAW.

He said the suspect had come to Sri Lanka before the election held in 2015 and had continued working for the RAW during his stay.

“The Indian national has tried to meet me in two instances but has failed since I was not available at my residence and office at that time. Right after his arrest, the Indian High Commission announced that the arrested person was psychologically imbalanced. It is the easiest way to tackle such incidents,” he said.

“Even the RAW is active in Sri Lanka but President Sirisena is still maintaining a silent policy. It is evident that the RAW and the Tamil Diaspora are engaging in some conspiracies in Sri Lanka. The situation has turned quite dangerous,” he added. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

What a joker is this Wimalay just jumping into conclusions it is Good for to go to India and meet Modi, and maru Sira and Ranil to do the same and seeking support for development

Jaliya Wednesday, 17 October 2018 08:17 PM

He said the suspect had come to Sri Lanka before the election held in 2015 and had continued working for the RAW during his stay .... This must be a very complicated plot as it is taking near four years to kill three people especially, when the suspect is carrying an ID card to advertise that he is a RAW agent ... since the election loss this man's head is getting retarded by the day. Indian nut case and WW has a cohesion as they both can see the same DMOA doc at the IDH.

Buddhist Wednesday, 17 October 2018 11:21 PM

No his head is not regarding,you always an apologist for the Indians and the Whiteman. Who you are working for ? I know you live in America and part of Christian gang.

Paddy Wednesday, 17 October 2018 08:29 PM

You are also psychologically imbalanced. Why don't you give up your present job and take up paddy cultivation.

Ralahamy Thursday, 18 October 2018 06:14 AM

This 8th Grade politician has been watching too much of South Indian Tamil films. Anyway, thisis his level of understanding.

When we know very well what Indian RAW had done to Sri Lanka, how come people of this country do not treat this issue seriously?

observer Thursday, 18 October 2018 12:09 AM

Correct.Don't shoot the messenger though he has a bad track record.

Siri Wednesday, 17 October 2018 09:59 PM

Joke of the century, and mother all jokes. Man,?would ever any secret agent go about with ID? These nuts wouldn’t know how to say a lie even, and they are the people going to rule the country. Oh God save mother Lanka and it’s people.

Stan Wednesday, 17 October 2018 10:54 PM

Wow, RAW agents carry ID cards now?

TONY Wednesday, 17 October 2018 11:44 PM

OH WW IS FINALLY AWAKE

Buddhist Thursday, 18 October 2018 01:14 AM

If this information given by Weerawansa is not true Indian High Commission should file a case against this guy immediately.

joshua Thursday, 18 October 2018 07:42 AM

WW ....is only has a verbal loose motion

Joseph Thursday, 18 October 2018 08:19 AM

TONY Thursday, 18 October 2018 08:40 AM

GOVT SHOULD SEND WW AS OUR REPS TO MEET MODI AND DISCUSS THIS ISSUE

Indian high commission answer,nobody believe he is insane

CITIZEN Thursday, 18 October 2018 10:35 AM

How come this guy get all the secret details of the RAW agent? In all probability, this guy is involved in the plot and he is playing a double game, as usual! It is important that CID/FCID grill him first. If necessary, they should use the usual "Awama Balaya" to elicit information!!!

Wise Donkey Thursday, 18 October 2018 10:50 AM

The ID number he gives resembles his wife's 'second' passport!

sunil Thursday, 18 October 2018 11:02 AM

WW must be investigated as by his own admission this RAW agent was trying to meet him, wonder for what?

Dee Thursday, 18 October 2018 12:37 PM

But they may be having a second ID card.

Dhammika Thursday, 18 October 2018 08:38 PM

So this is the man who shouted on TV ¨AIYO SIRISENA PALAYANG PALAYANG¨ the day before the last presidential elections ! .

S.P.Ramkumar Thursday, 18 October 2018 09:05 PM

Hon. Wimal you must respect this countrymen does not matter he or she tamil or Sinhala. Who is diaspora people who migrated because of the onflicts. Southern unrest. Time Sinhalese went like that North East unrest time Tamils went. In this incident why do you bring Tamils in this sean. Cause of this problem you and your group not respect democracy.That is the reason RAW tried to play within parties. You and your courrupted group wanted to change Government undemocratically. However your information also have to taken in account by CID.
