Rajapakse business mafia leaves no stone unturned –even granite not spared

(Lanka-e-News-23.March.2013, 11.55PM) The country is being overrun by a Rajapakse business mafia that even on the breaking of stones in a quarry , their mafia operates, according to reports reaching Lanka e news.

In the Uva province , all the quarries and granites are under the control of Uva chief Minister Sashindra Rajapakse. All quarries and granite crushing in the Uva Badulla district Uva Paranagama, Wellawaya, Welimada, Sooriya wewa of the Uva Badulla district are completely taken over by Sashindra and he has employed workers for these quarries to crush the granites . When a businessman makes an application duly to the Pradeshiya secretariat for permission to quarry the granite pits , without granting permission , and after a few days Sashindra employs his own men and begins quarrying that pit, instead..

The quarried granites of Sashindra are crushed using the crushers of his Baapa (Gotabaya uncle). The crushing of granites using the heavy crushing machineries are being carried out by this ‘Baapa’ with the help of the army in the granite pits in Karimurukkan ground district in Kilinochchi and Mankulam police divisions. Not only an ordinary person , but even the police cannot get close to that area where the quarrying and crushing are being done. The whole area is ‘cut off’ and are done by a team of army personnel deployed by Sashindra.

These granites are used only in small quantities for development in SL. But large quantities are shipped to Maldives. It is Dickson Delabandara ,the SL High Commissioner to Maldives who facilitates these operations and assists the Rajapakses in their shady deals. Delabandara was a classmate of Mahinda Rajapakse .

All the expenses towards the quarrying and granite crushing are met by Public funds , but the profits flow into the ever open filthy pockets of Rajapakses whose whole gaze is fixed only on filthy lucre..

The country has now been plunged into such a sorry state that no business can be done, leave alone quarries, by anyone without lining the pockets of Rajapakses. Recently , a businessman who commenced eco friendly tourism had to hand over his business to Basil Rajapakse, and the businessman had to wash his hands off it. A businessman who started a Hotel in the south had to abandon his business because Namal Rajapakse who came to have a meal at that Hotel took a fancy to it and compelled the Hotelier to sell it to him. 

We are in possession of every minute detail of these aforementioned deplorable and traitorous activities of the Rajapakses. This Rajapakse mafia that is swindling the country of its resources and finances in billions of dollars , is also in the process of plundering the middle level businessmen.
