MR rejects CBK’s allegations
President Mahinda Rajapaksa today rejected allegations made by former President Chandrika Kumaratunga that she was being monitored by state intelligence services.
He said he was duty bound to ensure the freedom of all citizens and that a former Executive President of the country was not excluded in ensuring this reach of Fundamental Freedoms.
In a response to the former President’s letter to President Rajapaksa, Presidential Secretary Lalith Weeratunga said in a letter to Ms. Kumaratunga that the allegations mentioned in her letter were lacking even a shred of proof to justify such charges of a serious nature.
“His Excellency the President notes that the many allegations made by you in this letter against the Government, the Police and Intelligence Services of this country, are lacking in even a shred of proof to justify such charges of a serious nature,” the letter said. “His Excellency the President wants you to be assured that there is absolutely no surveillance of your telephone and e-mail communications and of your residences in Colombo and Horagolla.”
Mr. Weeratunga said the President also observed that the timing of Ms. Kumaratunga’s letter, with an abundance of generalization, was intended to synchronize with the wholly unfair allegations against Sri Lanka being leveled by international forces in Geneva and elsewhere in the West today.
