Members of the forces and Police were treated as slaves by Basil and Pushpa..! Even toilets cleaned by soldiers..!!

-To wear their sarong and saree too soldiers had to do for them..!

 

(Lanka-e-News -10.July.2016, 11.30PM) Basil Rajapakse who speaks most vociferously for and on behalf of the forces and about their honor, is the same base individual during his tenure of office as minister of economic development  under the nefarious decade had treated 200 members of the forces and the police who were detailed  for his official duties most dishonorably ,disdainfully and insolently , like how dogs on the streets are treated. This was revealed before the Presidential Commission (PRECIFAC).

It was disclosed that these soldiers and police officers were employed for his  security , driving, cooking, dressing the sarong meticulously of their ‘ boss’, massaging , cleaning the latrines and toilets for his wife , and of course serving them like slaves  and  toadying to them.

Herein is the true story …

There were 84 members of the army , 64 members of the Navy, 47 police officers ,10 female members of the Navy in  the contingent that served Basil and his spouse.  

The women officers of the Navy were employed to clean the toilets of Pushpa Rajapakse ( Basil’s wife). These officers had to discharge unofficial duties such as flush the commode before Pushpa uses the toilet , pin  her saree meticulously , carry her hand bag wherever she goes, dab and remove her perspiration  ,wipe her face with tissue paper every now and then ,and so forth . These details were graphically  revealed  before the Commission.

Basil had detailed for duty  6 Naval officers to look after his dogs and 18 Naval officers to carry out tasks in the kitchen. 2 Naval officers were entrusted with looking after the duties in his kitchen of his house in America. Kneeling down as though to worship in order to tie his sarong and to help him wear his waist belt  were also their degrading duties. In addition   there were five members  of the Naval forces serving as drivers in  his contingent.

Basil  kicks the officers kneeling down  brutally if they do not tie for him his sarong properly

If the sarong is not tied for Basil according to his whim and wishes , the Naval soldier performing that duty is kicked in his face brutally and beaten while that soldier was still  in kneeling  down position , as revealed by a soldier via a confession made before the Commission.

Among the 84 members of the army , except a few of them detailed for personal trips and the 20 drivers , all others had been deployed for  security purposes.

All the police personnel are from the ministerial security division , although only 6 police personnel of the ministerial division can be deployed ,Basil however  abusing his powers had employed 47 of them , according to what was revealed before the Commission.

Soldiers dispatched to perform kitchen duties at his house in America !

The two members of the Naval Force who were taken to discharge kitchen duties in America had been dispatched not on ordinary passports , rather on Diplomatic passports . Moreover they have been  taken across under the pretext that they were going to work in the park of the house of the SL ambassador in America !

In addition , Basil has got down two most expensive dogs costing Rs. 450,000.00 from America and India , and the routine needs of those dogs had to be  looked after by Naval soldiers . Besides , a special room was allocated for those dogs with air conditioning comforts , it  came to light.

When Basil assaults, the Navy chiefs remained silent in fear….

All these irregularities and abuses had been committed under a captain of the Navy who was the leader. Though complaints were made to the higher ups of the Navy regarding the assaults launched by Basil when the waist belt and sarong of his are being worn for him by the soldiers , but because the higher ups were in  mortal fear of the  Rajapakses they pretended not to hear, it was disclosed. 

In addition Basil has been ruthlessly assaulting any officer of the Navy  too who performed duties in a manner that displeased him.

Women soldiers used by Basil’s wife to dress and pin her saree …

Basil’s wife Pushpa Rajapakse too had employed the women soldiers of the Navy for her security , to carry her hand bags wherever she went , to wipe out the perspiration as soon as it exudes , to pin and arrange the saree when worn   , and in other degrading  menial duties.

The PRECIFAC has taken steps  to file action against Basil and his wife in connection with several charges leveled against them including treating the staff in the government service like slaves; misuse of state funds; and several others.

The PRECIFAC has recorded statements of a number of members of the three armed forces and the Police . What Lanka e news has revealed  hereinbefore  are information based on statements which  have been duly confirmed .

In the light of the above details , clearly the Rajapakses who are best noted for shedding crocodile tears, have while   singing praises for the forces been   treating them most shabbily and disdainfully , and at the same time assaulting and using them as their slaves. 

In the circumstances , even the worst punishment decided by God towards these political ‘animals’ alias hypocritical rascals alias  shameless scoundrels is not enough.
