Parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga said today that the credit for the impending release of the former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka should go to the Sri Lankan people and the international community that had supported him during his imprisonment.

Mr Ranatunga, who is the spokesman for the Peoples Movement to Free General Sarath Fonseka also said that people from across the country including those at grassroots level, Sri Lankans living abroad, politicians and even government members had extended their support to release Mr. Fonseka although they could not show their support in public.

“A lot of people were involved in getting him released from prison and therefore the credit should not go to a single person or to our movement alone. There are several people who supported him throughout,” Ranatunga said. (Olindhi Jayasundere)

Arjuna, You have been the best team player Sri Lanka ever had

Mahinda R. Sunday, 20 May 2012 05:06 AM

What are you talking. It,s our General's great daughter who initiated the petition to the White house that worked out and the donkey president & the government of donkeys got the pressure from USA to release the great hero. So the full credit should go to the great daughter and the people who cried for the release of the General.

Hey Mr. Jayasuriya, I think you do not know who Mr. Arjuna Ranatunge is, for your information he is our greatest cricket captain we ever got (like general Fonseka) CAPTAIN COOL.

Jeyasurya Friday, 18 May 2012 06:02 PM

It is Ranatunga who worries about the credit. He is jealous that Tiran would get all credits..Typical lankans

dhammika perera Friday, 18 May 2012 05:43 PM

No No No credit goes to Tiran Allas only.
According to the President only he had talks with him.
Others did bull shit.
Trust the President.
