Former ministers Dr Rajitha Senaratne, Mangala Samaraweera, Malik Samarawickrama and TNA parliamentarian M.A. Sumanthiran arrived at the presidential commission probing into allegations of political victimization this morning (21).

 

They had been summoned to appear before the commission today with regard to a complaint filed by the former Secretary to the Economic Affairs Ministry, Dr Nihal Jayathilaka.

 

He had filed a complaint alleging that he had been arrested and remanded due to political pressure, over the providing of compensation and gratuity to employees who had voluntarily resigned when establishing the Department of Divineguma Development and also over the providing of relief through the ‘Isurumath Niwasa’ programme.
