Gota Denied His Connection On Attack an Abduction of the Nation Editor

Gotabahya said, when he was the Secretary  of the  Ministry Defence , he had regular meetings with the Intelligence Officers  on Tuesdays. By these meetings,  he was able to prevent certain attacks planned by the LTTE.  During  his  tenure as Secretary Ministry of Defence he  did not have authority  to act beyond his  authority and order intelligence officers  to do anything against the law.  For some one’s crimes, I should not be blamed  unfairly.  Investigating Agencies should detect the real culprits and arrest them.
