We never obtain votes by duping the public


  

In the series ‘Direct Talk’ we feature COPE Chairman Sunil Handunnetti where he airs his views on the latest developments connected with the Bond Commission Report. Following are excerpts of theinterview done with Handunetti. 
Q An investigation into the Bond Scam was conducted by the COPE headed by you. The report on the Presidential Commission has also been released. Do you see any contradictions in these two reports?

No there is no difference between the COPE report released by me and the latest report. It has only elaborated on the COPE report. In my report I stated that Arjuna Mahendran is solely responsible for this transaction and the relevant company had earned undue profits. I requested that these should be taken over again and that the culprits responsible for this be punished. All these directives are mentioned in my report. Therefore there are no contradictions. Now what remains is legal action to be taken. The report I handed over is similar to a decision made by an umpire in a cricket match. The third umpire now has to give his ruling.
