The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) yesterday exposed multiple corruption involving the Rajapaksas and others with relevant files alleging they have adequate proof. Chairing a special disclosure with stacks of alleged files containing proof documents, Dissanayake lambasted ruling party politicians, their kith and kin, former Ministry Secretaries, officials in State institutions, Opposition politicians and business leaders for alleged corruption and claimed investigative officers, lawyers and media helped to shield those responsible. Most of the cases highlighted however were first revealed under the Yahapalanaya regime as well and probed subsequently with inconclusive legal action.
