Around fifty percent of the population in this country is contributing at least one rupee to the international Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) diaspora daily, Lanka Private Bus Owners’ Association (LPBOA) Chairman Gemunu Wijeratne said.

He told the Daily Mirror exclusively that the LTTE and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist organisations are currently the most funded organisations.

He said this fact was revealed following an analysis done by him. He said most of the financial companies are run by funds from the LTTE.

They give the collected money to local politicians, government officials and trade unions to depend on them, and it has become a serious problem to the country.

This is not even being investigated into by the police because the police attempts are also being foiled by the LTTE and ISIS.

“That is why there is a huge objection to the proposed Anti-Terrorism Act and to the proposed Broadcasting Regulatory Commission legislation. This is a result the country has faced after the LTTE war, and any war cannot be defeated by just killing people,” Wijeratne said.

Also, he said that he will reveal all the details if anyone gives him a chance. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
