The government’s efforts to create a perception that Sivanesathurai Santhirakanthan, alias Pillayan, is involved in the Easter attacks have failed, says former parliamentarian Udaya Gammanpila.

He stated this at a media briefing today (16).

Former State Minister Chandrakanthan was arrested on the 8th of this month, pertaining to investigations into the abduction and disappearance of Professor Sivasubramaniam Ravindranath, a former Vice-Chancellor of the Eastern University.

The arrest comes 18 years after the alleged abduction, which is said to have occurred on December 15, 2006.

Pillayan, who was arrested under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), is currently being held in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department on a 90-day detention order.

Attorney-at-Law Gammanpila met with Pillayan and held discussions for half an hour yesterday (15).
