Colombo, Oct 5 (DailyMirror) – Following the shocking allegation of former parliamentarian Nirupama Rajapaksa and her husband Thirukumar Nadesan being listed in the Pandora Papers for having hidden wealth stashed away in offshore companies, the Daily Mirror learns that this matter has been brought to the attention of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and senior government members who will discuss the issue this week.
According to highly placed political sources, the Rajapaksa family was unaware of these allegations as these claims go back to the early 1990s and although Nirupama is a relative, the ruling family did not have any knowledge on the Nadesan’s business dealings. (Jamila Husain)
