TNA MP wants MP Kanagaratnam released from custody
Vanni District TNA MP S. Kishore requested the government to release his colleague MP Sathasivam Kanagaratnam, who had been taken into custody by the CID while he was returning with other Tamil people leaving the no-fire zone. He was participating in the emergency debate.
MP Kishore said that MP Kanagaratnam had no links with the LTTE and had never aided or been involved in any terrorism activity.
The one and only reason for the CID to arrest him was that he remained with his people till the last moment, he said. MP Kanagaratnam had remained in Vanni with his people.
"It is no crime in a Parliamentarian being with his constituents. I request the government to release him so that MP Kanagaratnam can come to Parliament with us,"he said.
Many other law makers who were under arrest had been given the opportunity to come to Parliament, MP Kishore said.
He also requested the government to postpone the local government elections for the Jaffna and Vavuniya districts again and to hold them whenever all local government elections are held at a future date.
