Kumar Gunaratnam’s fees for contracts he is hired shoots up - one year jail sentence and fine.!
A political review by Wimal Dheerasekera
(Lanka-e-News -02.April.2016, 11.45PM) Kumar Gunaratnam with Australian citizenship who identified himself under various aliases such as R.M.Dayal,Noel Mudalige, Kumar Mahathaya, who is staying illegally in Sri Lanka sans visa and a Rajapakse spy was sentenced to one year (non –rigorous) imprisonment plus Rs. 50,000.00 fine by Kegalle Magistrate Prasanna Alwis on the 31 st of March.
Gunaratnam revealed in court that owing to death threats he faced politically in Sri Lanka(SL) in 2006 he left the country under the name R.M. Dayal to Australia ,secured citizenship there under the name of Noel Mudalige, and he returned in 2011 regardless of the death threats.
Left SL because wife received visa and not due to death threats
This revelation is an absolute lie vis a vis the actual facts . It was Gunaratnam who as the inside leader of the JVP, extended fullest support to steer Mahinda Rajapakse to power in 2005. Hence there was no possibility for him to face death threats in 2006 from the government of Rajapakse.
He also said during that period owing to the internal conflicts he was embroiled in within the JVP he faced death threats. If that was so ,when considering the raging conflicts within the left parties in SL , half of the people in Sri Lanka must be abroad seeking political asylum .Hence , this is an absolute lie.
The actual position was , his wife who is a Doctor obtained Australian citizenship. Automatically the whole family obtained Australian citizenship thereby , and Gunaratnam being her husband he too received citizenship. Gunaratnam went to Australia with the sole and whole objective of making money, and not because of threats to his life. There is copious evidence and documents to substantiate this.
