Army spokesman alarmed military informants behind Beruwala and Alutgama devastation will be exposed
(Lanka-e-News- 25.June.2014, 11.45PM) The army media spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasuriya addressing a media conference yesterday made a desperate attempt to clear himself of the blame before it is fastened on him . Before the cat was out of the bag he jumped out like a rat thereby unwittingly giving betraying the truths which he so zealously sought to conceal behind a whole heap of untruths.

He said , shielding behind parliamentary privilege , the names and details of those of the country’s intelligence division officers are to be exposed in Parliament in connection with the recent unsavory incidents of violence that raged in Alutgama and Beruwala. Such exposure is traitorous and it can convey a wrong impression internationally , he added. 

The Brigadier made frantic efforts to compare these incidents with Millenium city episode , while claiming that but for the intervention of the intelligence divisions , the violence that devastated Alutgama and Beruwala would have spread across the entire country.

It is very unfortunate the poor Brigadier who is apparently well accomplished in profuse lying is not intelligent enough to understand the truth in the maxim ‘the more he defends , the clearer it becomes it needs defense.’ 

It is common knowledge that it was not only the Bodhu Bala Sena (BBS) , but also robed laymen ,civilians and Gotabaya’s intelligence division officers wearing masks who were responsible for the brutal racial violence that was unleashed in Alutgama and Beruwala which claimed 9 lives including a week old infant , injured 176 persons, and destroyed over 150 homes and business places on a monstrous human rampage of arson and mayhem.

It is the responsibility of the Rajapakse regime to find the answer to the crucial question ,who committed two ruthless murders by shooting near the Alutgama mosque ? In Sri Lanka (SL) every bullet should bear the government’s registration number. If there is no such number , obviously those bullets have made their entry via illicit channels. During the LTTE period there were many such bullets. After the weapons of the LTTE were captured , these bullets were in the custody of the government . In the circumstances , the government certainly should be in a position to say the bullets that caused the two murders at Aluthgama are whose.

It is manifest , Investigations are not being launched in order to conceal its own ‘informants ’ who would otherwise be exposed . Even when the journalists held a media workshop at Hotel Gold sands , Negombo , it was Gotabaya’s army intelligence division informants wearing masks who broke into and hijacked the media workshop.

Currently , this intelligence division is engaged not in protecting and rescuing the country , but rather in carrying out the conspiratorial and criminal activities of the Rajapakses.

If the country is to be truly rescued , the first thing that should be done is , arrest LTTE leader K.P. and mete out punishment. Today , what Brigadier Wanigasuriya is doing while being the army chief is, cleansing the stench and squalor of the LTTE leaders , and carrying out the criminal conspiracies of the Rajapakses.

Wanigasuriya should feel ashamed for not speaking on behalf of , let alone remember that General Fonseka was his army chief and superior . Even when the latter was sentenced to jail and released , Ruwan Wanigasuriya did not utter a word , not to mention the betrayal of Fonseka he committed by removing his name from the name list of Army Commanders. 

The intelligence division officers are not above the law as Wanigasuriya claims. They must respect the laws of the country all the more as responsible armed officers. Wanigasuriya fearing that the cat will be out of the bag , had jumped out like a rat before the cat. Media spokesman for the forces, Wanigasuriya cannot disclaim responsibilities in respect of the crimes he is committing in partnership with the criminal defense secretary , Gotabaya Rajapakse.

It is well for Wanigasuriya to remember at least from now on he should practice wearing the ‘jumper suit’ so that he can be with Gota to dispel the latter’s loneliness, the day Gota goes to jail.
