The Sajin-Kshenuka couple is going after Dr. Chris Nonis, who lost his position as the Sri Lanka high commissioner in the UK, with scathing attacks, internal sources as external affairs ministry told Lanka News Web. We previously reported that a fax message by the ministry had been received by the high commission in London on the afternoon of October 03, telling Dr. Nonis that the government had accepted his resignation and that he should relinquish his duties.

Later, on October 06, when Dr. Nonis had gone to the high commission, Sajin-Kshenuka couple had sent a diplomat by the name Chamari Rodrigo, to meet him. By that time, on the advice of Sajin Vaas, ministry secretary Kshenuka Seneviratne had appointed, by letter, Rodrigo as the acting high commissioner.

In the morning of that day, Kshenuka had called her and ordered her to obtain custody of the official vehicle and the driver, of Dr. Nonis as soon as he arrives and also to obtain the key to his room in the course of the day itself. Rodrigo had been severely inconvenienced by this order because she has had a good rapport with Dr. Nonis when he was the high commissioner.

Anyhow, as soon as Dr. Nonis arrived, Rodrigo had gone to him and asked that the keys to the official vehicle and the room be returned by the day. Surprised by that demand, Dr. Nonis had politely asked that he be allowed to take his leave with dignity. Without heeding the request, she had implemented to the letter the orders she had received from Colombo.

Kshenuka had telephoned Rodrigo every hour and was informed of what had taken place. Kshenuka has also told her to get high commission staff to sign a petition to claim that Dr. Nonis had treated them in an inhuman manner. Presently, Rodrigo is in the process of collecting signatures to that petition. Several employees of the high commission told LNW that they had signed it because they feared they would lose their jobs if they did not sign. They also said this would be a good lesson to other diplomats as well as to persons like Chris Nonis who had unashamedly campaigned for the murderous regime.

The petition being prepared against Dr. Nonis is expected to be submitted at the inquiry against him ordered by the presient, say the sources at the external affairs ministry.

The Sajin-Kshenuka unholy couple has incited the president to accept the resignation of Dr. Nonis, by telling him that he had tried to get the Pope’s visit to Sri Lanka cancelled and to prevent the president’s trip to Rome. They have also accused him of having told websites operating from London soon after arriving there about the incident of the attack.

An activist of the SLFP branch in the UK told LNW that Dr. Nonis had attended a Bandaranaike commemoration function at London Buddhist Vihara two days after the attack, and had not hinted that such an incident had taken place. The SLFP activist said he did not believe it when the media reported the incident, as Dr. Nonis had not at least given a hint at the ceremony that he had been attacked.

Even after being attacked, he had behaved like a real gentleman, and this again proves the gospel truth that the Rajapaksa regime has a place only for vagabonds like Sajin Vaas, and not gentlemen like Dr. Nonis.

At the annual convention of the ruling Conservative Party, British minister of state at the foreign and commonwealth office Hugo Swire has told Dr. Nonis in front of a group of Sri Lankans. “Chris, do you understand now why we are exerting such pressure internationally against the government of your country?” The Sri Lankans present eagerly awaited the reply by Dr. Nonis, but were disappointed to see him leave the British minister with downcast eyes without replying him.
