Why did Gotabhaya prevents K. P. being questioned???

United National Party (UNP) accuses that Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse needed to avoid questioning Kumaran Pathmanadan alias KP who was arrested by the Thailand police.

UNP Media Unit Chief Lakshman Kiriella said at a press conference held in Colombo today (26) that Sri Lanka police lost a chance to reveal those who gave arms and ammunition to the LTTE and those who gave money to procure arms, due to the actions of the Defense Secretary.

Thai police following a clue given by Sri Lanka took KP, the main procurement agent of the LTTE for almost 15 years into custody. The Defense Ministry website revealed the news of the apprehension to the world against a Thai government's plea to keep the matter top secret, said Kiriella.

The news of such arrest is usually revealed after questioning the person and the Defense Ministry's haughty disclosure annoyed the Thai government, said the UNP MP.

MP Kiriella said that Gotabhaya Rajapakse's action blocked a chance to reveal the facts on those who funded LTTE and those who assisted arms procurements etc. and enquired the motives behind the Defense Secretary's disclosure. He also asked from the Defense Secretary to make a public statement in this regard.
