Regarding charges mounted against EPDP members

I hereby request you to  give your  expeditious attention to the matters mentioned hereunder as I am desirous that an investigation is launched into those without delay.

The Eelam People’s Democratic party (EPDP)  under my leadership for many years had been engaged in Democratic politics continuously with the support of the party members and supporters in the North and the East of Sri Lanka. Our party is represented in Parliament , provincial Councils and provincial administration through members of the party elected by the people.

S. Ponniah who was an erstwhile member of our party , but later withdrawn from party activities and expelled from the party because of anti social activities, corruption and frauds , we are made to understand is now employed at ‘ Udayan Rest’ Jaffna,.  On 2016-08-29 , Ponniah convening a media briefing at Jaffna  Press Club , told before the media that he  is aware that the EPDP members and the army committed grave crimes.

In the  interests of the public , the statement of Ponniah and those referred to shall  be duly  probed ,and the allegations made shall be proved , as well as  those  referred to  in his announcements who indulged in grave crimes shall be punished . It is hereby urged that prompt measures shall be taken in regard to the  revelations made by Ponniah during the media discussion,  in keeping with the prevailing laws and the right to information relating to his disclosures.

I also wish to inform that my EPDP party shall extend the fullest co operation towards the investigations instituted in this connection.

Thanks
