REFUGEE

A senior official at the Presidential Secretariat told Lanka News Web that the Presidential intelligence units have uncovered a call made by the Prime Minister’s wife, Kusum Wickremanayake to General Sarath Fonseka’s wife, Anoma, yesterday (23) asking her and the General to stay at the Premier’s official residence if they were unable to find a suitable place to move in to.

The Prime Minister’s wife had expressed her deep regret at the fate that has befallen the General and had said the Premier too was worried and expressed his regret as well. She had also said that apart from the Premier, many senior ministers in the government did not agree with the manner in which the Defence Secretary treated the General.

The official further noted that the states intelligence service officials had recorded the telephone conversation between the Prime Minister’s wife and the General’s wife.
