Proving Sirisena\u2019s attempts to whitewash himself of his direct culpability in Easter attacks IGP Pujith Jayasundara<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 who has been sent on compulsory leave \u2013 in his Fundamental Rights petition has revealed the Police was instructed on April 08, 2018 to stop investigating into extremist Muslim groups.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

IGP Jayasundara<\/p><\/div>\n

Content of Jayasundara\u2019s FR petition filed a few days ago, note the State Intelligence Service (SIS) in a letter, specifically instructed the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) to suspend all investigations into extremist Muslim factions linked with international terrorist organisations.<\/p>\n

He particularly mentions in petition that an investigation was open into the activities of the National Thawheed Jamath but the TID was instructed on April 8th, 2018 to suspend inquiries, as \u2018such investigations caused prejudice to the secret investigations being carried out by the SIS.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pujith Jayasundara further states that the President excluded him from attending National Security Council meetings from early October 2018, until after the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks<\/strong><\/a> on April 21.<\/p>\n

IGP claims that the President required SIS Director Nilantha Jayawardana to report directly to him.<\/p>\n

Jayasundara filed his FR petition last week, challenging Sirisena\u2019s decision to send him on Compulsory Leave following Easter attacks and growing criticism of the government\u2019s lackadaisical approach to matters of national security.<\/p>\n

In his petition, Jayasundara names the Attorney General (AG), Acting IGP C.D. Wickramaratne, Members of the Constitutional Council (CC), Director SIS Nilantha Jayawardena, Chief of National Intelligence (CNI) Sisira Mendis and former Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando as respondents.<\/p>\n

Jayasundara asked Supreme Court to:<\/b><\/p>\n

2. Make Declaration that the actions of H. E. the President and\/or the 3A to 3J Respondentsimpugned have infringed the fundamental rights of the Petitioner guaranteed under Article 12(1)<\/b> of the Constitution and\/or that such infringement continues;<\/p>\n

3. Make Declaration that the actions of H. E. the Presidentand\/or the 3A to 3J Respondents impugned have infringed the fundamental rights of the Petitioner guaranteed under Article 14(1)(g)<\/b> of the Constitution and\/or that such infringement continues;<\/p>\n

5. Make Declaration that further infringement of the fundamental rights of the Petitioner guaranteed under Article 12(1) <\/b>and\/or Article 14(1)(g)<\/b> of the Constitution is imminent;<\/p>\n

6.

7. Make an Order setting aside the decision of the President to send the Petitioner on compulsory leave as reflected in P9<\/b>;<\/p>\n
