Addressing the weekly media briefing at Media Centre for National Security, he revealed that an INGO named PANOS have been funding a project involved in propagating the LTTE's extremist ideologies locally and internationally.

He said that, majority of these so- called journalists engaged in this sordid project are Sri Lankans , who have been writing under fake names to several local and international journals. The authorities have identified them and legal actions would be initiated against them, he added.
