Gunaratnam refused citizenship

Gunaratnam refused citizenship

The citizenship application by Kumar Gunaratnam, Frontline Socialist Party politburo member, has been rejected, said controller of immigration and emigration Nihal Ranasinghe.

The request was turned down today (27) on advice by the attorney general, he said.

The Supreme Court on February 18 dismissed a fundamental rights petition filed by the FSP member that had sought an order preventing his arrest or deportation.

The Australian citizen is staying in the country illegally, and a notification by the immigration and emigration department to call over there along with his air ticket is yet to be respected.

The controller said a letter has been sent to the IGP seeking assistance to arrest him.
