Government wakes up from its slumber : says MaRa’s sudden tour of US was in view of a pre-planned appointment
(Lanka-e-News- 24.Aug.2014, 8.30PM) It is by now a well known fact that some media websites including Lanka e news which publish parallel reports posted the news that Medamulana Percy Mahendra Rajapakse was struck by a sudden illness and taken abroad immediately .
Following these reports the government which strangely remained silent for a day and slept with eyes widely opened , had suddenly woken up as suddenly as Medamulana Percy Mahendra Rajapakse flew to the US ,and made an official announcement .
No matter what , it is a fact that Percy Mahendra Rajapkse was flown to Houston city , Texas , America on Satureday (23) at about 2.30 p.m. USA time.
Dudley Rajapakse a citizen of America residing at Houston is a brother of Percy Mahendra Rajapakse . They have both left for America together on this trip. Previously on two occasions ,when Percy Mahendra Rajapakse fell ill , he received treatment at M.D. Anderson cancer center hospital , Houston .
In any case ,the announcement made by the government that Percy Mahendra Rajapakse left for America on account of a prior appointment made by him is debunked by the following data :
All appointments made by him have been cancelled suddenly until the 29 th.
Percy Mahendra Rajapakse already had chosen Friday to declare open the shopping complex before his sudden tour ,but this was cancelled citing rain as an excuse . It is worthy of note that it is never a custom in Sri Lanka (SL) to cancel inauguration ceremonies because of rain , since the date and time of inauguration ceremonies are fixed based on auspicious times carefully calculated , and rain is considered as an additional blessing by the people of SL.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has suddenly gone abroad stating it is a private visit. However, certain sources say the President was taken to the USA on the 22nd as he was suddenly taken very ill.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa has suddenly gone abroad stating it is a private visit. However, certain sources say the President was taken to the USA on the 22nd as he was suddenly taken very ill.
A flight that was scheduled to leave on the 22nd had been cancelled and the President was flown with a special medical team say these sources. However, the government has not disclosed any information regarding this. According to sources all arrangements have been made under the supervision of President’s brother Dudley Rajapaksa, who is a US citizen.
Intelligence sections had reported to the government that Rajapaksa government is not faring well at the Uva PC election campaign. Meanwhile, the internal conflict of Rajapaksa family has developed and the feud between Namal and Shaeendra had taken a center stage. Also, Defense Secretary, despite President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s opposition, had made all arrangements to come to politics from Colombo.
The talk about the President secretly going abroad is going round under such an environment.
