Hula finally remembers ‘human rights’!

 Sunday, 23 February 2014 

In an irony of fate, former director general of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalle, aka Hula, has been forced to seek the help of ‘human rights’, the so-called conspiracy against Sri Lanka by Western nations and the so-called weapon of anti-government saboteurs. He is going to file a case, alleging a violation of his human rights, against officers of the State Intelligence Service.

The first respondent in this HR case is SSP Nalaka Silva of the SIS, while the second respondnet is head of the SIS, DIG Nimal Wagista. Gotabhaya Rajapaksa was to be named the third respondent, but Hula has dropped the name of the defence secretary, fearing matters would become worse for him if he did so. In the defence secretary’s place, the attorney general has been named the third respondent.

Hula is going to take the SIS to courts against his being blacklisted. SSP Nalaka Silva, known in the police department to be an incompetent, had blacklisted the ex-DG of the MCNS on the order of the defence secretary. The SSP has become frightened after hearing about the imminent court case and is trying to lift Hula’s medical file at Apollo Hospital.

Of them all, DIG Wagista is the one who is frightened the most. He has reprimanded Nalaka Silva, saying whether he was trying to deny him his pension. If no service extension is given, DIG Wagista is due to retire this year.

Hula cannot die, or leave country!

Former director general of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalle has been blacklisted to prevent him from leaving the country, reports say. He lodged a complaint with the IGP yesterday (22) against this.

The State Intelligence Service blacklisted him on the orders of defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. Therefore, Hulugalle has been barred by the police clearance unit from going overseas. SSP Nalaka Silva has informed the airport authorities about this blacklisting.

The ex-DG of the MCNS has inquired from the IGP as to why he had been blacklisted thus, but the police chief’s reply was that he was unaware about it. The IGP promised to look into it and inform Hulugalle by tomorrow.

According to reports reaching us, the reason for the blacklisting is that the Rajapaksa regime suspects that Hulugalle will flee to a Western country and reveal to the Western media about all the wrongdoings in the war. Last night, Hulugalle had telephoned a closest female friend and told her that he had wanted to go overseas for medical treatment, but that he had to abandon that idea now. “I cannot die or to go overseas freely”, he has lamented.
