Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakse (President Council), alleged that the on-going onslaught on the Avant Garde Maritime Services was meant to pave the way for another local venture to take over the lucrative business.
Minister Rajapakse alleged that the present government was under heavy pressure to move against Avant Garde Maritime Services to enable a takeover.
The Justice Minister was responding to the spate of allegations directed at him by Democratic Party Leader and Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, at a special media briefing held at his main party office at Pelawatte, Battaramulla.
The former Army Chief also accused Law and Order and Prisons Reforms Minister Tilak Marapana and Public Administration Minister Vajira Abeywardena of having clandestine relationship with the company under a cloud.
Reiterating that he hadn’t taken anything from Avant Garde, Rajapakse insisted that a law suit would be soon filed against the Field Marshal seeking damages to the tune of Rs. 500 mn. Recalling JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s accusations regarding his alleged relationship with Avant Garde, Rajapakshe challenged his critics to prove the much-touted claims. The Justice Minister promised to quit politics if accusations against him were proved.
The Justice Minister alleged that Fonseka had pushed for Gotabhaya Rajapaksa’s arrest regardless of consequences. The former Army Chief was among those who used the Avant Garde inquiry to take the former Defense Secretary into police custody, the Minister alleged.
