The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) says that the present government too is trying to sweep under the carpet, the investigations related to the atrocities committed by former LTTE leader Kumaran Pathmanathan, alias KP.
The JVP propaganda secretary Vijitha Herath says that that the Attorney General has informed, he does not have enough evidence yet to prosecute KP after investigating for over 8 months, charges presented by the JVP against KP in a petition.
Herath told the media yesterday that the AG’s department had first requested time until end of March to investigate the petition against KP which was filed on 08 January and later in March it had asked for a further 06 months.
“Now the AG is saying he has not found any credible evidence against the 46 charges. We would like to know what they are” he added.
Herath said that although the former Army commander had openly said that he was willing to provide information with regards to KP, the AG’s department was yet to consult him.
The JVP parliamentarian said that people were eagerly waiting to know the truth about what happened to the money, gold, ships and other wealth reportedly possessed by KP.
“Although the UNP, when in the opposition shouted that the Rajapaksa’s have swindled KP’s wealth, they are now keeping silent over the issue. The government has to tell the people what they are going to do about KP” he added.
Pathmanathan alias KP was an international arms smuggler who procured massive loads of weapons worth billions of dollars for the terrorist organization that ravaged a deadly war for 30 years. He was involved in arms smuggling operations across Asia, Canada, US and Europe.
Sri Lankan authorities arrested KP in Malaysia in August 2009 and brought to Sri Lanka. He was under protective custody of the Rajapaksa government.
Gune / September 13, 2015
It is a shame how RW and the UNP hammered MR and his government for the following and just doing the same now:
1. KP’s Wealth
2. MR’s murders
3. MR’s robbery
4. The size of MR’s cabinet.
5. Nepotism.
With the exception that point 2 has yet not happened all other matters are in full flow with this present regime. They promised us that when they come into power all this will be investigated and MR and family will be brought to book. It now transpires that it was a ploy to trick us the people into voting for them.
Jus in case you might wonder why hadn’t made “robbery” an exception-just think of Arujna Mahendran.
Jus in case you might wonder why hadn’t made “nepotism” an exception – just think of the telecom regulatory chairman and SLIC chairman.

The current AG who is clearly a Mahinda and Gota Jarapassa stooge must be fired and an honest and energetic person replace him. At the same time the CID which is also full of Mahinda Jarapassa stooges must be cleaned out and new, qualified and energetic investigators brought in to investigate the corrupt politicians and their families.
Today in Sri Lanka there is no doubt that politicians are the most corrupt and dangerous segment of society.
Politicians who are supposed to be leaders and law makers in a country are the biggest law breakers and most corrupt – morally and intellectually and financially. Sri Lanka’s accidental President Sirisena who is NO leader is the worst culprit. Sirisena is encouraging impunity and even bribing corrupt politicians with Cabinet posts because he does not know the MEANING OF LEADERSHIP – bringing all the corrupt SLFP clowns into the parliament of corrupt criminals a thte Diyawenna Parliament and giving them Cabinet posts and violating Good Governance principles with90 plus cabinte members.
Hope the Supreme Court rules against Sirisena’s National list and the Cabinet of 90.
Sirisena has made a deal with Mahinda Jarapassa to sweep all the corruption of his family and cronies under the carpet..

Ask KP and Medamulana Mahinda Rajapaksa and their Family
KP Stole from the Tamil People.
KP and LTTE Robbed from the Northern Muslims
Mahinda Rajapaksa and Family Stole from the Sinhala People, Tamil People and Muslim People.
It is like the Raigamaya and Gampolaya. Both are thieves. They steal from the people and from each other.
“Like the man from Raigam meeting the man from Gampola”.
[Edited out]
Like the man from Raigama Meeting the man from Gampola
Raygama and Gampola are two villages in Sri Lanka. They were quite famous in the days of the Sinhalese kings, for some of the kings used to live there. A man from Raygama is called Raigamaya and a man from Gampola, a Gampolaya.
There were once a Raigamaya and a Gampolaya who travelled from village to village carrying pingo-loads of Betel, and Arecanuts, to sell. Betel is a kind leaf that grows on creepers and Arecanuts, a kind of nut that grows on trees. It is a habit among Ceylon villagers to chew betel leaves with bite of arecanuts and lime. The two men used to met in an way-station to pass the night.
One day, Raigamaya thought of earning more money by cheating Gampolaya. He collected leaves of pepper, which looked almost like betel. He packed his bag with leaves of pepper. Gampolaya did a similar thing. He wanted to deceive Raigamaya by putting DOMBA nuts, which looked almost like Arecanuts, into his bag.
When they met at the way-station, they talked to each other as usual. But each thought to himself thus: “I will take my friend’s bag, as if by mistake, and make money by selling his goods”. The next morning, when Raigamaya awoke and hastened to fetch his friend’s bag, he found that his friend had already left with his own bag! Both felt very happy that they were able to fool the other. But soon they discovered that they were themselves fooled! Ever since then, people say “Like the man from Raigam meeting the man from Gampola.
This proverb is used on occasions when a crafty man meets his equal.

You also had SLA soldiers like Hasalaka Gamini, who single-handedly disarmed an armored LTTE suicide vehicle. He gave his life away. Changed the outcome of the battle in the process.
While top monkeys in Colombo, Delhi, Washington, Beijing, Oslo, London & Killinochchi at that time were playing a totally different game from AC rooms. Setting innocent people against each other to satisfy the power game. Be it local in Sri Lankan or geo-political in the Indian Ocean.
That game still continues in a different format now called “Good Governance” under a “National Government”. The electorate is stupid.

It is a 99% possibility that it was a pre arranged surrender by KP. KP is not an honest man.
/
gamini / September 14, 2015
Native precisely. It was a prearranged surrender after KP double crossed VP to help MR. Hence it was safer for KP to be in MR custody as otherwise an LTTEer would have put a bullet to KP for selling out VP, if he lived outside. It was safer for KP to be here than living outside.
/
Native Vedda / September 14, 2015

I was told KP was in contact with NIB since LTTE first made official contact with Premadasa.
KP would have had contact with almost all the intelligence services and illegal arms dealers. It would have been almost impossible to buy and transport arms without their tacit approval. When the time was right LTTE’s floating armory was destroyed/captured and blocked denying LTTE the resources. It was a signal to LTTE as to what was in store for them. LTTE failed to read the signal.
According to some media report KP fell out with VP and didn’t operate for nearly 5 years. When going got tough VP had brought him back.

Your are absolutely correct, KP’s arrest was a prearranged one through Malaysian authorities,(may be Malaysian authorities would have been taken for a ride in this handing over)
KP was in contact with Gotta, since 2006, and was double crossing LTTE in that, all the ships he bought on behalf of LTTE had been successfully intercepted by NAVY since 2006! Now you can guess what a swindle is (was) that and no wonder MR confirmed the guarantee for KP’s security for rest of his life before his departure from Allari Maligawa in the early early hours of 09th Janu. 2015 even in that total melee from Ranil!

Sellam / September 13, 2015
It is not KP’s wealth, it is the wealth of the Tamil people in the form of Gold and cash. It is reasonably believed, that this wealth is with Rajapaksas. The Sri Lankan Army took away four sacks of Gold buried in Mullaitivu area and was handed over to Gothabaya. Gold and cash was mostly collected from the Tamil people, Tamil businesses with threat by the LTTE. Each household gave 5 sovereigns of gold whether they had it or not. Money collected from the Diaspora went to KP’s account. This government, which says it is a democratic one see that the wealth is returned to the Tamil people.

Douglas / September 14, 2015
Sellam says “It is not KP’s wealth, it is the wealth of Tamil people in the form of Gold and Cash”. Exactly and very correct. So if KP is living in protective custody, this Government has the responsibility to make all the necessary inquiries and find where that “Wealth” is and utilize it for the welfare of the “True Owners”- the Tamils. Doesn’t the picture published with the article give some “clue” as to where that “wealth” could be? Why not some Law Enforcement Agency “GRILL” both main parties and very many others in that picture and try to secure that “wealth” and credit to a “Special Development Fund” to be spent for the benefit of Tamils. But please DO NOT try to sell us the idea; “Yes at the moment KP is doing that in the North through his NGO”. Remember that is the PLOY instituted by the MR’s regime to “sugar coat” the “ROBBERY” and we know of it. Also we know now; I scratch your back and you scratch my back works in all these matters of investigations and inquiries.

KP was not arrested in Malaysia.
That is the popular story but there is no evidence to prove. It is true that former Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama on May 29 made a request to Malaysian Defence Minister Dr Ahamd Zahid bin Hamidi YB Dato Seri to hand over ‘KP’to facilitate ongoing investigations into LTTE operations overseas. However the speed of time betweent the request and KP landing in Katunayaka belies the fact that if KP was being held by Malaysian authorities there would have been protracted court proceedings before he would be extradited to Sri Lanka.
Second story is that he was arrested in Thailand. There was a whole heap of confirmations and denials by very highly placed officials about this also.
The third story is that he was arrested in Singapore. This version was given by non other than high ranking Special Branch police chief Theeradej Rodphothong of Thailand at the time.
The fourth story which is most plausible is that negotiations had been conducted between MR and Co and KP for a long time and a negotiated settlement was agreed upon. When all parties agreed KP was escorted to Sri Lanka from Singapore by a Sri Lankan Tamil who was close to MR. KP came to Sri Lanka willingly after gaining freedom of prosecution on payment of Billions of dollars to MR and Co. The story goes that KP worked as a consultant to MR in successfully hiding the huge amount of money MR acquired from corrupt practices.
If anyone else knows anything more about this please let me know.

Just imagine yourselves in KPs shoes. When you have all the money and power to buy arms for the LTTE and was even ready to bring in helicopters to whisk away VP to a ship in the deep ocean, what would you have done to buy freedom.
Of course you would buy that freedom with the money that you have control of, whether it is yours or someone else’s.
Who would you pay to get that freedom? You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Don’t you think you would keep some handy to pay off any legal people in case there is a government change.
Well KP has executed the plan B.

Sorry to bother you sir. You are a MP and a former cabinet minister but I find nothing on the internet about your education.
Do you seriously not understand what is the work of AG and what belongs to the police? Or do you just want to mislead the masses who believe just about everything?
You want to return to the times when judges received phone calls and their houses were stoned? The AG, of course, is not a judge as you might know.
Please note what the AG said in an interview:
“Q: Have you had interested parties applying pressure regarding this matter?
A: Pressure has only come from some media organisations asking for a show trial and not from individuals or the Government. And in any event, I don’t succumb to such pressure.”
For the rest that might explain the role of the AG please find the interview at:

This is one of the proofs that Ranil and Sirisena are being blackmailed by the Previous Regime. It is common knowledge that K.P. was “persuaded” by Gotabaya to transfer all his gold and ships and weapons to him personally. The Attorney General should be shot with his own shit.
The million dollar question is what are Ranil and Sirisena hiding? Where are our investigative journalists? The word “blackmail” is not in their vocabulary?
The sooner the secret is out, the better for Sri Lanka. She no longer need to live in fear of the Return of the Medamulana Gang; because the blackmailer cannot be considered more noble than the blackmailed. Hopefully, we will be able to replace the current House of Horrors, too, electing a good set of Parliamentarians. The Mayadunne saga should be an eye opener for all of us.
