Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe has categorically rejected the ‘Batalanda’ Commission report.
“I wholly reject the report. No one can say the report was kept hidden. It was published as a sessional paper in 2000 but no one including the JVP asked for a debate,” Mr.Wickremeisnmghe said in a special statement today (16).
He pointed out that the commission report mentions the heinous terrorist acts committed by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) during the 1988-90 period.
He also said that there is no precedent in this country or anywhere else in the world of debating a sessional paper 25 years after it was published.
