“The president does not heed any advice. Brother Chamal and I went to his house and described everything one by one a few days ago. When he is told so, he agrees. But, he does a totally different thing later. At this rate, we will not be able to walk on the streets. We cannot go to a foreign country. In the end, we will have to jump into the sea,” an emotional defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa tearfully told a friend at his home at no: 07, Flower Road, Colombo.
This house belongs to his friend Kavan Ratnayake, elder brother of former Matara district MP Sagala Ratnayake.
“Brother Basil and Namal have complicated everything. Yoshitha and Rohitha are in charge of the campaign. There is no coordination in their work. They suspect me too, because I am Maithri’s friend. Now, ministers are carrying tales against me that I opened the floating restaurant with Maithri after waiting for the president to leave the country. Maithri is my friend. We lost him due to our own faults. It is pointless to blame him now. If we do not rectify it, we will be done for,” he said in a dejected manner.
Kavan has said many things to pacify Gotabhaya, who remained silent for some time and left. According to our sources, this could be the beginning of a major turnaround.

- Tuesday, 02 December 2014
The MSD security given to engineering services minister Wimal Weerawansa has been withdrawn and STF men have been deployed in instead, say government sources.
The reason is that the government has come to know that Weerawansa was having talks with the UNP through Nandana Gunatilake of Palamu Peramuna.
Soon after getting to know about that, the president had got hold of several files detailing the irregularities committed by Weerawansa. The State Intelligence Service has handed over these files – P/F 6622 Sub P.I.C. 38923013 against Weerawansa, P/F 6960 Sub P.I.C. 4665568 against Piyasiri Wijenayake, P/F 7433 Sub P.I.C. 3800315 against Muzammil and P/F 7208 Sub P.I.C. 4665725 against Housing Development Authority chairman Jayantha Samaraweera.
In addition, the SIS has told its officials to keep a close watch on the vehicles bearing numbers Gk 6257, NA 3971 and KD 3774.
