Former Northern Provincial Council member M.K. Sivajilingam appeared before the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) yesterday (28) to be questioned over an event he staged in the North. Sivajilingam said that he was asked to appear to record a statement over the event staged in May this year. A presidential candidate at the last election, Sivajilingam arrived at the TID office in a three-wheeler. The TID had summoned him to appear on Friday (27) to record a statement over the event. However, he had informed the TID that he was unable to appear on Friday and appeared yesterday. Sivajilingam had organised an event in May in the North to commemorate the victims of the final stages of the war. The event he organised was however seen as promoting slain LTTE cadres.
