Oct 06, Colombo: Sri Lanka main opposition, United National Party seeks the support of a international team to investigate into today's suicide explosion in Anuradhapura that killed key party members and supporters.
According to UNP Member of Parliament, Tissa Attanayake, demised North Central Province Opposition Leader, Major General Janaka Perera was warned several instances of the great thereat he has from the Tamil terrorist organization, LTTE.
"National Intelligence Bureau and many other state organizations have informed Maj. General Janaka Perera of the threat he has due to his former career decisions taken to eradicate terrorism from Sri Lanka. But, knowing the threat he has, necessary protection was not provided. Maj. General Janaka Perera had to resort to Supreme Court in getting protection which was proven not enough," he said.
According to UNP web site, UNP MP Dayasiri Jayasekera said "While the Govt. is providing arms and security to Pillayan, Mangalam Master and Karuna, the LTTE cadres, it refused to give security to the War hero Janaka Perera who fought for the country to save against the very cadres whom the government is now protecting and pampering. It has even given a bullet proof vehicle to Pillayan, but did not give basic security to the Army Commander who saved the country from the terrorists. This time too the Govt. is trying to sham the investigations by blaming on the LTTE even before investigations have begun."
