Has the President pardoned KP? – UNP

Is Kumaran Pathmanathan enjoying freedom following a pardon for President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the UNP questioned today (December 28) while stating that it was hilarious that Sarath Fonseka should have to ask for such a pardon.
Speaking at a press conference held today in Colombo, UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake further questioned whether the problems concerning the Advanced Level Examination results and implementing the compulsory use of plastic containers for the transport of vegetables and fruits were not made worse by the meddling of the President.
He stated that if these incidents had occurred in another country, the Ministers in charge would resign from their posts while solutions would be found without further delay.
MP Karunanayake said that the same government that adorned the 800,000thtourist to Sri Lanka with garlands cannot ensure their safety adding that a independent inquiry should be made into the political hand behind the incident in Tangalle while necessary punishments should be dealt out to those involved.

Can’t UNP to be without sf..?
I do not know about KP or Karuna. This push to get Fonseka out without his own appeal is like an attempt take a venomous cobra out from the hole. He will go to USA and fabricate stories against the MR, GR, Army officers, government and the nation. He will try his best to make as much troubles as possible to the country. President is not an idiot to diregard this. Before considering release he must obtain serious undertaking from Fonseka himself that he will not do anything against Rajapakses and government. He should not be given passport. He must agree not to talk to media. If this is given by Fonseka he will be out. Outherwise he will be in until UPFA president will be in power, no matter how many years it will take.
