Thursday, 02 February 2012 

The Cabinet of Ministers has discussed at length about the letter that is said to have been sent by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which is being distributed amongst media institutions, a senior government minister told Lanka News Web.

The President has angrily explained the contents of the letter to the ministers and said that the US was trying to oust him from power and replace the position by Sarath Fonseka or any other person who could be controlled by the Americans.

The President has spoken to External Affairs Minister Prof. G.L. Peiris who is scheduled to visit the US this month and asked him not to agree to anything proposed by the US. GL had been asked to handle the US the same manner in which the President handled India.

The President has boasted to the Cabinet of Ministers that he could have easily controlled the US issue if he had the freedom to travel to the country.

The senior minister said the ministers have remained silent because they were well aware of the consequences the country would have to face due to the President’s foolish ways of handling the diplomatic community.

Following is the letter believed to have been sent by Clinton:
