United National Party (UNP) MP Ranjan Ramanayake yesterday revealed that he was the person who made a phone call during a political programme telecast live on a private television channel under the identity ‘Matara Sunil’.

A caller identifying himself as ‘Matara Sunil’ phoned the television station and alleged that the then Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage was involved in fraud and corruption. Mr. Aluthgamage complained to the Mirihana Police after the incident.

Police investigations revealed that Mr. Ramanayake’s telephone number and that of and the person who called himself ‘Matara Sunil’ were the same. At the time however, Mr. Ramanayake denied having made the phone call.

“Icarried out the guerilla-type combat because the previous government was planning to kill me. I am announcing today that ‘Matara Sunil’ and I are one and the same person,” he told the media after police raided a premises at Jubilee Post, Mirihana last night and recovered a large quantity sound equipment belonging to the Chief-of-Staff of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Well he could have used his own identity and made the call... But why Police have to investigate the call and trace the caller? If there is a question time for viewers, then they have to understand viewers are eligible to ask any question they might have... Please do not waste our tax money by conducting these sorts of fruitless investigations to trace a caller and stuff... Go trace a Kudu Mudhalaali... it will do good to our community!

MP Ranjan Ramanayake worked very hard while in opposition. He should be rewarded with deputy ministerial portfolio after April 2015
