Colombo, Oct.6 (Daily Mirror) - Former MP and Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka has called on the current government to demonstrate political will by appointing a powerful commission to investigate alleged deals between past political leaders and the LTTE, particularly during the final stages of Sri Lanka’s civil war.

Speaking at a public meeting in Matara yesterday, Fonseka launched a scathing attack on former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, accusing him of declaring a ceasefire in early 2009 to facilitate the escape of senior LTTE leaders. He further alleged that Rajapaksa paid $3 million to the LTTE in exchange for suppressing Tamil voter turnout during the 2005 Presidential Election.

“Even former Minister Basil Rajapaksa informed me of this deal in 2009. But I refrained from confronting the government then because I was focused on leading the war effort,” Fonseka said.

Whatever said and done, SF you must remember that the then government was following Indian Congress Goverment's agenda. Rahul Ghandhi was only interested in taking revenge on Prabha for his father's murder. So just be assured, that all those deals were to trap Prabha and finish the LTTE and nothing else.

It's painful behind measure to learn, tax from my hard-earned money too was given to the group leader to spend against my mother land.

My opinion is that those heartless people who played doubles games to enjoy the fruit of power should be deprived of civic rights for 10 years.

A personal vengeance. SF is a man with no integrity, his tongue is of a lizard changing colors for his advanrage. He has a 'me' mania. As if he has done everything by himself. Loser.

Better for you SF to provide what you know to the government rather than highlighting them before the people that is likely to give notice to those involved to get ready to answer

Sorry No Vacancies in the Govt. This guy will die one day with the hatred and jealousy. His standing among the people reflected on the votes he gained in the last election.
