JVP parliamentarian Bimal Ratnayake told parliament yesterday (4) that Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Senior Presidential Advisor Basil Rajapaksa should give up their US citizenship in the same way that Chief of Defence Staff General Sarath Fonseka gave up his Green Card.
Bimal Ratnayake made this statement during the adjournment debate in parliament about General Sarath Fonseka.
He said the JVP respected the decision of General Sarath Fonseka, who is one of the greatest Army Commanders to have served the country, to return to the country after giving up his chances of receiving permanent citizenship in
the US. Ratnayake said although the US could interrogate its citizens they could not interrogate Sri Lankan politicians, military personnel and civilians or summon them before an international war tribunal.
