Legal action to be taken against conspiring opposition MPs

The Government will take legal action against every opposition MP who took part in international conspiracies against the country, Director General of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalla said today. He added that after facts are unearthed regarding such conduct legal measures will be taken.

Hulugalla stated that certain statements made by opposition MPs during foreign visits have instigated the pro-LTTE diaspora. Several opposition groups, MPs and organizations are directly getting the assistance of the pro-LTTE diaspora, he claimed.

Even after evidence was given against the initial Channel 4 video which was aired in May 2009, the fact that the channel went on to telecast an elongated version of the same video confirms the conspiracy against Sri Lanka, he added.
