Sri Lanka's state minister for defence, Ruwan Wijewardene on Tuesday said that the Tamil diaspora organisation, the work of the Global Tamil Forum (GTF) would be investigated.
Mr Wijewardene made these remarks following criticism by an opposition MP of the government's decision to de-proscribe the GTF, despite the organisation allegedly continuing to display of the Tamil Eelam map on its website.
"De-proscription was welcomed if the organizations which are de-proscribed had given up separatism, but the government should be alert if these organizations continued to hold such views," the opposition MP, Dullas Alhapperuma was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying.
Responding to Mr Alhapperuma, Mr Wijewardene said, "de-proscription was done after a careful study by foreign and local intelligence organizations."
