Breakdown in law and order, politicisation of police |
|
| By Our Political Editor |
Hard on the heels of the controversial Kolonnawa shootout on local polls day, President Mahinda Rajapaksa, became the troubleshooter for another fierce intra-party battle that threatened to engulf the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA).
Last Tuesday, he hurriedly boarded a Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) helicopter for a 15-minute flight to a playground at Dalupotha in Negombo. Accompanied by Basil Rajapaksa, Economic Development Minister and UPFA MP for Gampaha District, they rode in a black Mercedes Benz. As they moved out, there was a virtual motorcade for the half a kilometre journey along the Chilaw-Negombo highway and a turn to Prison Road. That included local politicians, police and security personnel. The trail led to the two-storied residence of Nimal Lanza which stands on a wide expanse of land. Rajapaksa gave Lanza a warm hug and sat down in his drawing room sofa for a lengthy chat. The local politician was not only the leader of a family wielding strong political clout in Negombo but a staunch backer of Basil Rajapaksa in the Gampaha District. |

Here is the evidence confirming Gota’s implication in Bharatha Lakshman murder: Gota shall resign forthwith
-Why is Duminda who shot Baratha not placed under arrest ?
(Lanka-e-News -15.Oct.2011, 8.30P.M.) Lanka e news is in receipt of clear, cogent and copious evidence testifying to defense secretary Gotabaya’s involvement in the murder of Bharatha Lakshman who was shot and killed by Duminda Silva recently.
Hereunder are the details …
Just two days prior to the assassination of Late Bharatha Lakshman , on the 5th of October when he addressed the last rally , he said, “ My heart is deeply grieving. If there is no CID , at least someone here , please tape this and ,go and show it. Gotabaya is a respectable person in this country. But this ‘yakka’ and the organizers took him throughout today and went for the kudu (heroin) dealers’ rallies. This is what is hurting me.. They roamed Ambatale where extortion money was demanded from Mudalalis over the phone. They intimidated and threatened people to part with their monies. They went to Kolonnawa ‘ Singapore’ area and Meetotamulla . We cannot allow this type of activities to rage in the areas which we have nursed and developed. This is not a question confined to electorate. We must begin our campaign after the 9th to rescue the people from these scoundrels. If we do not engage in this campaign , I cannot predict in which disastrous direction the country will be headed. I do not wish to elaborate further on this. I hope what I say will also reach the ears of the country’s leaders.” Full Story>>>
