(Lanka-e-News 13.Jun.2014, 10.30AM) An STF team (special task force) had detected yesterday the highest quantity of heroin so far when it was being transported on the soil of Sri Lanka– ‘Asia’s miracle’ of President Rajapakse is in the making indeed ! The quantity of heroin that was detected is nearly 85 kilograms !The police STF following a sudden raid had taken into custody a hybrid motor car which was transporting it , and a three wheeler that was providing security escort to it. The STF revealed two Tamils who are brothers , residents of Kotahena were also taken into custody during the raid near the 4 th mile post, Peliyagoda on the main road between Kelaniya and Biyagama. The two brothers have met at a common place at Biyagama road , and the younger brother got on to the hybrid car there, reports say. The value of the heroin haul taken into custody is about Rs. 683.1 million sixty five thousand ! police say.
It is the consensus among all , while President Rajapakse is bragging of making SL the Asia ‘s miracle , many of his cabinet members are either directly or indirectly involved with impunity in the heroin trade . It is therefore being widely questioned whether this heroin business is also being used as a contribution to ‘Rajapakses’ ‘ miracle in the making,’ for SL has by now earned the ignominious name locally and internationally as the hub of Asia for heroin trafficking.
Might we recall with deep regret and a sense of shame as law abiding citizens of a lawless reign , previously when a container load of heroin weighing 350 kilos of heroin was detected , it mysteriously diminished in quantity while in State custody. Though suspects (Pakistanis) were arrested, their representatives and accomplices in SL were not.
Some time ago , when heroin kingpin Lansa’s house at Negombo was laid siege to by the STF , the President rushed by helicopter to Negombo to save Lansa.
When the vehicle of Duminda Silva , Government M.P.’s vehicle K.N. 7046 that went to collect the quantity of heroin got down from India , along with Kudu Ruwan alias Ruwan Chamila were taken into custody , Duminda’s vehicle was later saved , and the kudu (heroin) haul mysteriously turned into Kerala ganja (cannabis) . Moreover , Kudu Ruwan was produced before court and enlarged on bail.
Interestingly , today’s heroin detection did not catch the headline news of the media chain of the brother of Duminda Silva. What is even more interesting news is ,President Rajapakse recently visited the home of Duminda Silva the notorious drug lord , to revive and keep up his bonhomie and camaraderie with Duminda and his home mates.
The bottom line is , anti narcotics officers say , raids are conducted in SL by the Rajapakses only when they get cheated on the illicit commissions due to them on these deals, or when those commissions do not enter their private coffers.
