Pandora papers have already revealed the names of former Deputy Minister Nirupama Rajapaksa and her husband, Tirukumar Nadesan. It has also given details of an offshore company owned by the duo. The Opposition leader states in addition to the PSC, a special committee with extensive powers should be appointed to investigate the Pandora scam. Amassing money through illegal means, tax evasions, money laundering secret monetary deals have come to light through the Pandora papers. He added.
