Cannot get assaulted again by giving true reports – SIS chief!
- Sunday, 21 December 2014
“We are giving true reports to the president to help him rectify his weaknesses and go forward. But, he thinks we are doing a wrong. We too, can deceive him, like those around him, by saying he will get 65%. That will ruin him. We do not give these reports to the media. They are leaked to the media by those around him. We get assaulted after trying to do good,” State Intelligence Service chief, DIG Chandra Nimal Wagista has told his officers recently.
Wagista and his officers were discussing as to how they should report the real situation in the country to the president.
The officers have noted that the situation in the country was not at all favourable to the president. However, if they report the actual situation to the president, the SIS chief is afraid that he will get assaulted again.
“Whatever is the situation in the country, I cannot get assaulted again after telling him the truth. Change those figures and make a report to appease the president,” so saying, the SIS chief ended the discussion and is due to take this latest report to the president in the coming days.
Parents, Teachers Summoned To Schools For MR Campaigns
December 21, 2014
In yet another devious act of state resource exploitation parents, teachers and students have been summoned to schools by the Education Ministry to participate in various abruptly organised ‘openings’ despite the schools remaining closed for December holidays, to promote President Rajapaksa‘s election campaign.

Teacher unions have expressed their concern over these meetings and ‘openings’ that have been organised out-of-the-blue soon, pointing out they are a clear violation of election law flouting which the authorities have failed to prevent.
“Since the end of the 2014 O/L examination on December 17 until now, a total of six Mahindodaya laboratories have been suddenly unveiled by the Education Ministry in Gampara and Puttlam districts,”Ceylon Teachers Union (CTU) Joseph Stalin said.
He said that school authorities have summoned parents, teachers and students of the respective schools for the event where they had been made to sit through hours of speeches and presentations about the development carried out under the Rajapaksa regime.
Stalin added that about six more have been scheduled to be opened within the coming days in Hambanthota and Batticaloa districts.
Despite lodging complaints with the Elections Commissioner regarding the exploitation of students and school resources in MR’s campaigns, these election law violations have been allowed to continue due to the inefficiency of the local authorities.
