Opposition drops computer fraud allegations

 
The petition submitted by General (retd.) Sarath Fonseka to the Supreme Court recently did not make any reference to the Opposition’s main allegation that President Mahinda Rajapaksa had won a second term through a computer fraud.

The UNP, JVP and the SLFP (M Wing) alleged that the election staff had collaborated with the government to perpetrate an unprecedented computer fraud to deny Opposition candidate General (retd) Sarath Fonseka’s victory at the January 26 polls. This allegation was vehemently denied by Elections Commissioner Dayananda Dissanayake. JVP dubbed the alleged computer fraud, ‘computer jilmaat’.

Meanwhile, JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva yesterday said that they had dropped the allegations of computer fraud as they did not have evidence to prove it.
