The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Parliamentarian, S. Sritharan, has been summoned to the Terrorism Investigation Department (TID) headquarters for questioning over comments he made to the press on land grab by the Sri Lankan state in the Kilinochchi District.
Two men from the TID arrived at his house in Jaffna and questioned his wife regarding himself.
Speaking to Ceylon Today, Sritharan said,
“A person identifying himself as PC Thilakaratne from the TID spoke to me over the phone on Thursday and requested me to be present at the TID headquarters. He told me the TID needs certain explanation on the comments I am supposed to have made over the alleged land acquisition by the Army in the Iranamadu and the Paravipanchan areas in the Kilinochchi District to the media,”
“I was first invited to the fourth floor in May 2012, then in November 2012 for the second time and third time in the early part of this year,”
