GSLF press for ouster of Pro-LTTE Arjun Mahendran
Among the influential groups of Sri Lankans academics, professionals, Trade Unionists Global Sri Lankan Forum, GSLF called on the president to remove the pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists and corrupt Arjun Mahendran from the country’s central bank Governors position.
A close friend of Pro-Minority Prime Minister, Ranil Wickramasinghe, Arjuna Mahendran, whose tenure is up for renewal at the end of June, was accused last year of leaking inside information to his son-in-law’s firm, allowing it to allegedly make millions of dollars in profits from a central bank bond auction and his close association of LTTE Tamil terrorists.
An ad-hoc pro-ruling party committee comprised with lawyers who are from the UNP cleared him of direct involvement but pointed to unusual activity and called for a more thorough investigation, which has not yet held.
GSLF demands that government should dismiss Mahendran, a Singaporean national of Sri Lankan origin, at the end of this month and launch a fresh investigation with so called FCID. Despite the claims and the pending investigation, Mahendran was again accused of favouring his son-in-law’s firm in another bond auction in April this year.
Sri Lanka’s economy is under stress, and earlier this month began receiving the first tranche of a $1.5 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund.
GSLF commenced a worldwide on-line petition to submit President of Sri Lanka.
The On-Line Petition can be signed from following link;
