Mahinda objects to “White Van” office
It was known to everyone about the “White Van “ culture during the previous era when media personnel and many political activists had been abducted .The whereabouts of those abducted have been not known. This has been similar to the “southern horror and terror”.
As the Kith and Kin of those disappeared re clamoring to know of their whereabouts the government
authorities are contemplating on opening a new office to investigate into these missing persons. It is reported that to this suggestion former president has sent a letter informing that he is not in favour of it.What has been stated in defense is that this would betray the army personnel in the north thereby punishing them. It is his view that this office is to be opened succumbing to western pressure.
However nothing has been mentioned in Mahinda Rajapaksa’s letter about those disappeared in the south.
However the approval of the house is to be obtained for the establishment of the office related to the disappeared persons.
