How Asia’s Bokassa mauled Ex IGP Balasuriya..
(Lanka-e-News-08.Aug.2013,11.30PM) Lanka e news which reported that SL’s Medamulana Percy Mahendra Rajapakse is demonstrating that he is the Asian counterpart of Africa’s Bokassa by getting down citizens of the country to his Temple Trees and fiercely assaulting them has another report of his brutality , and the victim in this instance is none other than the former IGP Dr. Mahinda Balasuriya

Following the brutal killing of the youth Roshan Chanaka at the Katunayake protest demonstrations by the police , Percy Mahendra Rajapakse had summoned Balasuriya , the former IGP . 

The latter has gone to meet Rajapakse along with Gamini Navaratne DIG and his personal security officer , Nilange an ASP.

When they were heading towards the lobby ,Percy Mahendra Rajapakse had been in the upper floor. Minister Dullas Alahaperuma who was there had told them ‘Lokka is in a furious mood today ‘ and patted them on the back.

Just then the criminal defense Secretary had arrived , and no sooner he entered than from a distance he had begun shouting and scolding Balasuriya in the choicest language. Subsequently Balasuriya was invited to come alone to the upper floor.

Just as Balasuriya went up , those at the ground floor , the DIG and ASP had heard Balasuriya sreaming, ‘Buddhu Ammo. Sir , don’t assault me, ‘ while the noise of pummeling and punching went on. Navaratne realizing the perilous situation had silently moved out and tried to leave in his vehicle when Balasuriya had appeared looking most meek and smashed up with his uniform buttons torn away , and face swollen.

He had then with difficulty got in the vehicle along with his security escorts. While travelling Balasuriya had told , ‘just look at me. President thrashed me even disregarding my age’.

The following day , Balasuriya tendered his resignation. Even when preparing his resignation he could not halt the profuse nasal discharge.

Balasuriya however was later awarded an Ambassador post.

When the President of a country is trying to emulate qualities of a barbaric leader like Bokassa when there are so many cultured and civilized leaders in the world who he can follow; and if that President Rajapakse is capable of flagrantly and brazenly violating the laws of his country by resorting to hooliganism against an IGP , is it a cause for surprise when criminals attack low rung police officers in a country of such a President ?
