Siva Pasupathy’s role as former AG

(February 28, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) This is an extract of a media release by socalled Australians for Human Rights of the Voiceless headed by former AG Sivapasupathy who had free education up to graduation and rose up to be the AG (Discrimination against majority Sinhalese ?) and may be still drawing Sri Lankan pension. He is one of the most ungrateful sons of Sri Lanka.

Quote An Australian Human Rights Organisation, Australians for Human Rights of the Voiceless headed by Hon Shiva Pasupati, Former Attorney General of Sri Lanka has strongly criticised Sri Lankan Government’s Genocidal war on minority Tamils and said, “We are alarmed that the human rights atrocities in Sri Lanka have reached genocidal proportions” . It further called on United Nations Secretary General to intervene immediately and said “As things are, it is extremely important the UN SG seriously consider the dispatch of a monitoring mission that would undoubtedly serve to mitigate the severity of the atrocities that the internally displace people have to endure.”Unquote

I wrote this letter in 2006 exposing his involvement with LTTE terrorists and sent to The Island, Daily Mirror and Daily news but never got published. I thought It’s more timely to reproduce that letter.

APPOINT A PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE INTO SIVA PASUPATHY’S ROLE AS FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL.


No sooner the CFA was signed and the Talks of the tri parties GoSL/LTTE/Norway followed, Siva Pasupathy (SP) retired former Attorney General (AG) of Sri Lanka represented LTTE at some of these Talks. I immediately fired a letter to the print media the need of Presidential Commission to probe and investigate into his activities/suggestions/proposals/leak of information to LTTE etc, during his tenure as AG. But unfortunately that letter never saw the light of the editor’s eyes and would have ended in the dust bin (thinking a mad man talking). But I reiterate the fact that how important my request was when SP who is now in Australia again went to Oslo last week for the planned talks (albeit it never occurred) to represent LTTE, which now proves that he is a hard-core LTTE supporter.

If he had joined LTTE because of so called hackneyed slogan of LTTE discrimination, then it is bunkum. He rose to the top most legal position in the Island as Attorney General and so ungrateful he is. It is clear as crystal, no sooner he retired as AG, and he has started representing LTTE. This situation calls for some scrutiny as to whether he performed his duties as an impartial AG during his tenure.

He has now amply proved by representing LTTE in several talks/assisting LTTE to draft infamous ISGA etc, a hard core LTTE supporter of the most brutal Terrorist Organisation in the world which has now been banned by 30 countries. Former AG of Sri Lanka, SP now qualifies as a “full blooded terrorist” by being a member/sympathizer of LTTE. What a change from Attorney General to a “Terrorist”

It is now clear that SP is part and parcel of LTTE and no sooner Australia brings it under the Criminal Code Act 1995, he will go into hiding as others have done. ASIO (Australian Secret Intelligence Organization) should be mindful of his whereabouts.

I reiterate the fact that it is still not late to appoint a Presidential Commission immediately to investigate/scrutinize his role as AG during his tenure whether he had overtly and covertly helped LTTE by leaking confidential Government information etc., May be some of the debacles where the Government forces lost heavily were a result of leak of such confidential information to LTTE thro AG. Who knows?

I also make a fervent request to all patriotic parties like JHU/JVP and other organizations like NMAT/PNM to get together and raise one voice to insist the government to appoint a Presidential Commission into former Attorney General Siva Pasupathy’s (I purposely avoid calling him Mr.) role and activities during his tenure as AG and if proved wrong doing, bring him into justice.

This is the problem Sri Lanka is having even with the learned Tamils who take some of these unreasonable stands because of race. We have quite a number of Tamils who held government jobs in Sri Lanka, after retirement join the hands of LTTE and slander the government. There are members of forces who held different positions who had become spokesman for the LTTE for petty differences. Anyway there should be an oath before taking a government office for them to abide by certain allegiances that they should not break once they leave office.
