The Terrorist investigation unit yesterday (8) questioned Tiran Alles , the DNA National list candidate on his assisting Gen. Fonseka at the last Presidential elections. He was questioned for three hours and a statement of his was recorded.
Did you support Gen. Fonseka in his Presidential election campaign ? How did you help him with his private security or did you provide security to him?. Either during the elections period or thereafter , did you provide him with abode and security ? These were the questions around which the interrogation of Alles had revolved .
The TID had also questioned Alles at length as to who were those present at the Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel on the night of the elections , and who paid the rents for the rooms .
Tiran Alles who had been subjected to long interrogations by the CID and the TID under the Rajapakse regime ,was also in the remand prison for some time.
Tiran Alles was a victim of undue harassment and a victim of violence of this Govt. Recently his private residence came under a bomb attack causing heavy damage.
Tiran Alles functioned as the Secretary and the National Organizer of the SLFP (M) wing led by Mangala Samaraweera . But , when Samaraweera decided to contest the forthcoming general elections under the elephant symbol and as a UNF Candidate for Matara District , Alles resigned from all his posts he held in the SLFP (M), and joined the DNF led by Gen. Fonseka .
Alles when joining Gen . Fonseka , said more than politics , principles and policies are more important.
