Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa today met with the leader of the Tamil People's Liberation Tigers (TMVP) and Eastern Province Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillayan at the Temple Trees.
A group of 20 TMVP members had met with the President and said the party was willing to cooperate with the investigations being carried out on the recent killings that have taken place in Batticaloa.
However, the TMVP members have expressed their displeasure at the manner in which the investigations are being carried out.
They have condemned the searching of the Chief Minister's office and residence.
Chandrakanthan's office and residence were searched for weapons by the Sri Lankan Army Tuesday.
The Police have arrested three persons under suspicion for last week's killing of a coordinating secretary to Deputy Minister Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman.
The President meanwhile had said that the detained TMVP members would be released if there are no charges against them.
Inspector General of Police Mahinda Balasuriya, Ministers Basil Rajapaksa, and Susil Premajayantha had also attended the meeting.
