Gota in illicit arms deals: ship load impounded by Abu Dhabi Govt.

-Gota now in role of LTTE Sea Tiger leader Susai

(Lanka-e-News-11.Oct.2012, 11.30PM) Internationally it has become known that the SL defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse by posing falsely as representing the Govt. is engaged in illicit arms deals. A ship load transporting such arms based on Gota’s misrepresentations had been impounded by the Abu Dhabi govt. recently when it was in its territorial waters. It is now over a week since it was taken into custody. The SL High Commission in Abu Dhabi had disclosed this information relating to Gota’s illicit arms carrying vessel that was impounded. These arms had been purchased from Israel. Gotabaya is scheduled to visit Israel regarding his illicit arms deals on the 20th. When Lanka e news probed this sordid transaction it was discovered that the SL Govt. had not made any arms purchases from any country at this juncture. In that event whose arms are these which are in the ship that was impounded ? To whom are these arms intended? Who paid for these illicit arms? To whom are these arms being supplied ? While Gota and his crooked team are moving heaven and earth to suppress this colossal treachery , Lanka e news has the following details to reveal : Gota along with former Army captain Nissanka Senadhipathy had made arrangements to have a floating armory in the sea far off Galle . Senathipathy is the one who runs the Avant Garde security service. It is learnt that these arms had been earmarked for this armory. Hitherto in SL no private Company had the right to bring in arms in ship loads. In the whole world no arms Company supplies weapons in this illegal manner. That means , clearly Gota has made misrepresentations that these arms are being got down for the Govt. and shipped them after purchasing illicitly. The Dubai Govt. which got wind of this traitorous transaction had taken the vessel into custody. Somathileke Dissanayake the former Navy Commander who is now on pension had recently done his utmost to get the vessel released from the Abu Dhabi Govt. without avail. It is to Dissanayake this floating armory is going to be entrusted which Gota and his crooked team are trying to establish . It had been agreed to pay a monthly salary of Rs. 800,000/-. This Navy Commander had sought to get the vessel freed on that ground. But, since countries of the world do not regard the intervention of a pensioned Navy commander, Somathileke had been appointed as an a advisor on ocean affairs of the President .  What is the motive underlying Gota’s aim to establish an armory outside the country in the seas off Galle ? If it is tried to justify that this armory is to supply arms to the protectors of pirates of the Somalia seas , it is a falsehood. This floating Armory must be for transacting illicit arms deals. The bottom line is, this illegal Armory of notorious Gota who is a powerful arm of the Rajapakse regime is no doubt going to pose serious threats to the national security of the country in the future. Ironically, it is the very defense Secretary of the country who is the architect of this grave jeopardy.
