The new Sri Lankan prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, has pledged to investigate "LTTE activities" over the past few years.
Mr Wickremesinghe said the old government led by Mahinda Rajapaksa, had links to the LTTE.
“This is part of our probe on corruption. The former Government always accused us of having links with the LTTE but it was they who had links with the Tigers,” he said to media.
The prime minister claimed that there was an attempt by the "LTTE" to prevent Tamils from voting at the presidential elections.
He accused the previous government of failing to assist the EU to reverse a court ruling which lifted the ban on the organisation in Europe and pledged to support efforts to keep the ban.
“We have said we will assist the EU to ensure the ban on the LTTE in the EU remains,” he said.
