Retired Major General Ashoka Thoradeniya says that he has sought a court order to stop the statements made by former army officer Indrananda Silva, alleging that he was involved in the murder of JVP founder Rohana Wijeweera.
He stated that this step was taken due to the severe threats being made to him and his family due to these allegations being made through various media.
Considering the relevant request, the Colombo Additional Magistrate’s Court has issued a conditional injunction preventing the publication of misleading and hateful statements regarding retired Major General Ashoka Thoradeniya through electronic, print and social media.
This conditional restraining order was issued against Indrananda Silva and will be in effect until April 30th.
