(Lanka-e-News-09.April.2012 11.45PM) Dr. Champa Somaratne, the wife of Kumar Gunaratnam making a statement to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) today , said she requests the Australian Govt. to intervene to rescue her husband, an Australian citizen who had been abducted by the SL Govt. forces .She had stated further that her husband , along with the Peoples front party supported the Govt., but when the Govt. began violating human rights, he abandoned that party and launched a new political party, and because today is the party’s inauguration , the Govt. had abducted her husband. (what she says about her husband’s severance of ties with the former party is a lie).
Meanwhile the website of Minister Wimal Weerawansa reports that the Australian High Commissioner in SL has inquired from Defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse about Kumar Gunaratnam. That report states thus :
‘The Australian High Commissioner told me that an Australian citizen named Kumar Gunaratnam has gone missing , and wanted me to search for and find him . But, there are no records that such a person has come here from Australia. I asked her when he came to SL. She said she does not know. Then I told her how can details be provided of a person who is not known. Therefore I requested her to furnish me with the details immediately of this Australian citizen.: His name , passport No. , arrival date , and for what purpose he has come here. But the High Commissioner had no clue about those particulars.’ This was the reply given by the defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse in response to the questions posed, the report added.
In any case a police investigation is being conducted into the incident. Yet this is a novel story. According to what you say , Gunaratnam is not in SL. Then , how can they say he has come to SL? How can an Australian citizen play around and muck around in SL? If he is an Australian citizen , he must stay there or be here without a visa . He cannot engage in politics here then. This is precisely what I told . On the other hand ,the Australian High Commission has not notified so far that such a person has arrived in SL.
Moreover , when Gunaratnam’s wife arrived in SL recently , the defense division asked some questions from her. On that occasion she said , such a person did not come to SL with her, and he is in Australia. Now she says , Gunarathnam had gone missing in SL ’, defense Secretary further pointed out.

The website of Wimal Weerawansa had revealed the aforementioned episode. Weerawansa’s website also states that Kumar Gunaratnam had come to SL under the name of ‘Mudalige Noel’.
The defense Secretary Gotabaya in relation to Kumar Gunatnam’s issue , asked how can an Australian citizen play around and muck around in SL ?
What is the answer Gotabaya going to give if people turn around and ask him this same question in a much more serious mood , what is a US citizen doing in SL killing and abducting SL citizens which is much worse than playing and mucking around?
