Wickremesinghe this week ordered the customs to release the stock of 'Frontline' magazine's anniversary edition dated February 6.
The edition carried a 1987 interview of slain LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran.
"His order to release the magazine was a threat to national security," said Pannaloka.
The civil war in Sri Lanka came to an end in 2009 when the LTTE was finally crushed by the armed forces and the groups's leader Prabhakaran was killed.
The UN says 30,000 people were killed towards the end of the nearly three decades-long civil war in the country.
The LTTE remains proscribed in Sri Lanka and many other countries, including India, the US and the UK.
Pannaloka said: "He (Wickremesinghe) has also lifted the ban on foreigners travelling to the north and also released 1,000 acres of high security lands in the north."
"We want police to investigate".
With Wickremesinghe becoming Prime Minister in the new government of President Maithripala Sirisena, the government announced the release of private lands in the north acquired for military purposes.
The release of lands has been a long felt need of the Tamil minority.
The previous government of Mahinda Rajapaksa had imposed a ban on foreigners travelling to the north without prior approval.
