Ranil rejects Batalanda Commission report, Highlights JVP’s role in 1988-90 terror
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe has issued a special statement today (16), categorically rejecting the findings of the Batalanda Commission report.
He emphasized that the report primarily focuses on the heinous terrorist acts committed by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) during the 1988-90 insurrection period, rather than addressing the intended scope of the investigation.
Wickremesinghe criticized the commission for its alleged bias and failure to provide a balanced account of the events. He reiterated his long-standing stance that the report lacks credibility and is politically motivated.
