Speculations are ripe that former Army Commander and defeated  Presidential candidate Sarath Fonseka who is jailed for two prison terms  will also be considered for the presidential pardon which may be  granted by January 01. The President has reportedly directed the Secretary of the Ministry  of Prison Reforms A. Dissanayaka and Prisons Commissioner C.W. Kodippili  to submit a report regarding the eligible prisoners for the pardon. Condemned and life sentenced prisoners are also to be considered for  this pardon but the President has instructed not to be lenient to the  drug peddlers. A presidential pardon of this nature has not been granted since 2002  when President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga granted such amnesty. CP</blockquote>
