Former President rejects 'Bataland' report

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.
