Colombo, Nov 05 (Daily Mirror) - While labelling the search of his residence as an act of political victimisation, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) National Organizer Sujeewa Senasinghe said today that he will file legal action against the Walana Corruption Prevention Unit.

"I will file a Fundamental Rights case and a defamation case, as I see this as a violation of my rights and an act of political victimisation," Senasinghe told the Daily Mirror.

"I have criticised former Presidents, including Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and Mahinda Rajapaksa, but I have never had such gloomy experiences as the one I underwent yesterday," he said.

He said that the Corruption Prevention Unit did not find anything at his residence.

"I think what they wanted was to find out whether I had hidden any vehicles inside my residence. I don’t have to hide vehicles, as I have the means to purchase one openly," he added.

Senasinghe's residence in Kollupitiya was searched last morning.

No need to complain if you had nothing to hide. Just comply with the authorities and stop whining.

This person has lots of money. He is a member of foot note gang of central bank robbery.

Looks like the same old story with a bunch of new faces from the Malimawa. For example some of the appointments made such as presidents secretary unless otherwise totally reformed only gives the usually bribing clearing agents community ripples of laughter when we ask if he was a good guy. Hope AKDs and Dr Harinis sincere intent to do good for the nation is not tarnished with useless election stunts and deceit.

May be this is to check about 3 M cheque you received from Mendis Co.

You're free to file a lawsuit, as it's everyone's right. But please remember that if the presidents you mentioned had done this, they would have found something on you to fulfill their intentions. Isn't this another example of law enforcement agencies functioning more fairly than they did under those presidents?

He has means. Yes, very true, so much money was given by Aloysius, to cover up the bond scam. They were given by cheques and Shani has enough evidence to prosecute Sujeewa Boorusinghe. Sujeewa even wrote a book to cover up the scam under Ranil's advice.
