A move by a Tamil activists group in the United States to sue President Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka was dismissed yesterday by the Director General of Presidential Media Unit Bandula Jayasekara decribing it as an attempt by the LTTE to draw publicity. Bruce Fein, a Washington lawyer has filed the suit on behalf of activists from the Tamil diaspora. The Sri Lankan President was in the United States last week on a private visit. The lawsuit seeks 30 million dollars on behalf of three plaintiffs who said their relatives were killed in three incidents, including the Sri Lankan army's offensive in 2009 against the LTTE.
