No evidence against KP: Govt
The Government said today there was no evidence or complaints against Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP to conduct legal proceedings against him.Media Centre for National Security (MCNS) Director General Lakshman Hulugalle told a news conference that no legal action could be taken without complaints or evidence.
He was responding to a journalist who asked whether KP was to be subjected to any legal procedure.
When asked about his fellow LTTE cadres who are facing various charges, Mr. Hulugalle said they have been charged with criminal activities such as the damaging of state property.
He said it was a victory for the government to get a former LTTE leader involved in the development drive being carried out in the North and East.
Mr. Hulugalla said that during the last few months KP had been working for a Non-Governmental Organisation.
When asked by journalists about KP taking up residence in the house of former LTTE Political Wing Leader Thamil Selvan, he said KP had the right to visit Jaffna and other places in the North and East.
During the height of the conflict, KP worked as the LTTE’s Chief Arms Procurer and actively connected to LTTE international fund raising network.
After his arrest in 2009 in a South East Asian country, KP began collaborating with the Sri Lanka government. In 2010 he established North-East Rehabilitation and Development Organization (NERDO) for the provision of relief to internally displaced people and worked to upgrade the facilities for better physical, mental and living conditions for them.(Supun Dias)

Why cant you charge KP for supplying arms and raising funds for LTTE, if you can charge a Army Major for providing security to a drug dealer ?

Is "LTTE’s Chief Arms Procurer " not enough evidence for criminal prosecution?. How many innocent people were killed and how many state properties were damaged from these explosives he helped to smuggle into the country?

ABSOLUTELY TRUE! All the constructive evidence of controlling the LTTE assets like, several Bank A/cs; so many ships; Petrol Sheds in some capitals of the world; other movable and immovable properties, etc., etc. are all packed, sealed and handed over to KP for safe-keeping in appreciation of his yeoman services to the Rulers of Sri Lanka! No evidence in the hands of the Govt.. He is now a free man, heading an NGO, like any other NGOs. What's more!!!

These are like the judgements of King Kekille. At the end of the day the big sharks and whales escape prececution while the smalls sprats are detained for months. If Prabahakaran would have done the same this shameless Governemnt will say that there are no complaints or evidence against him too, and even start praising him for joiing hands in the Government's "development" projects.

Calistus Jayatilleke Wednesday, 17 October 2012 12:40 PM
Of course, it is the same with Karuna and Pillayan too. Obviously, there is an underhand deal with KP to benefit the top politicians from his wealth: so, they have now affixed the label of "patriot" on him, although the whole world is aware of KP's clandestine deals with regard to financing the Tiger outfit. this is just another canard from the big Joke Factory which never fails to evoke a laughter.
