COLOMBO (News 1st); The now-defunct LTTE’s Head of Department of International Relations Kumaran Pathmanathan, known as ‘KP’ has welcomed President Rajapaksa’s invitation for the Tamil Diaspora to the discussion table.

“We must work together. We must come to the table for the present and future generations,” he told reporters during an event to declare open a Children’s Home in Killinochchi along with Piyal Nishantha De Silva, the State Minister of Women and Child Development.

“The President has a 2/3 majority and that needs to be used in a proper manner. That is my message to our people and the leaders,” said KP.

Kumaran Pathmanathan also denied that he was given any assets by the LTTE during the end of the war.

“I was hiding in Malaysia at the time. I was only given living expenses by the LTTE,” he said noting that if he was in the possession of the LTTE assets he would have rescued the people and stressed the matter need not be spoken on any further.
