Colombo Telegraph can exclusively reveal that President Maithripala Sirisena has taken measures to protect his favourite Senior DIG in charge of intelligence while making the Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando and IGP Pujith Jayasundara scapegoats for the colossal security blunder that resulted in the horrific bombings and killed more than 250 people on Easter Sunday.
President Sirisena was informed about the foreign intelligence reports predicting the attacks on at least three separate occasions Colombo Telegraph can exclusively reveal today.
All three briefings were conducted by Head of the State Intelligence Service Senior DIG Nilantha Jayawardena. Jayawardena met Sirisena personally to brief him on 11th April and 16th April. President Sirisena then travelled overseas soon after the New Year holidays. When the Indians tipped off the SIS once again on the 20th of April about the bombings being imminent Jayawardane tipped off the President over the telephone. At the time Sirisena was holidaying in Singapore with his family after a 3 day pilgrimage to India for blessings.
At no point after the SIS briefings did President Sirisena discuss the deadly serious threats with the Inspector General of Police, the three armed forces chiefs or even his own Defence Secretary sources at the Defence Ministry told Colombo Telegraph. Directives were given by the MoD to police officials to take necessary action to prevent the attacks and inform churches in advance of potential risks Colombo Telegraph was told by high ranking sources. Some sources said it was possible that Sirisena did not fully understand the extent of his security briefing or the high level threats being warned about.
President Sirisena has characteristically blamed officials in the Ministry of Defence and the Head of the Police IGP Jayasundara for shirking their responsibilities and failing to tell him about the imminent threats. “They came with betel leaves to wish me for Avurudu and even then they did not bother to tell me,” said the President when he met media heads and foreign reporters last week.
However officials say this is a blatant lie because SIS SDIG Jayawardane was always in the habit of telling the President about intelligence reports first before informing Ministry of Defence officials or even the Chief of National Intelligence Sisira Mendis.
“There is no way that the President did not know. I can imagine if the Defence Secretary did not warn him. But the SIS chief is his pet and he knew everything. They talked several times a day. There is no way Nilantha Jayawardane did not tell him what he knew,” a senior Government Minister who did not wish to be named said.
One UNP minister said that the President may have decided not to act on his briefings in the belief that the attacks would be small scale ones. “He may have thought he could then blame the UNP for those attacks and that would give him a political advantage,” the minister added.
The Minister said the SIS head had intimidating details about the attacks and the attackers ready to brief officials minutes after the bombings.
Defence Ministry officials however met with the head of the SIS Nilantha Jayawardane, the three forces chiefs and the IGP and other officials to discuss the threat as soon as the intelligence was received by the Ministry on the 9th of April. Directives were issued to the police to take necessary steps to avert the attacks and be extra vigilant. They even told the Police to alert churches to the intelligence reports and the risks involved.
Unable to take action against the SIS Chief who is his favourite President Sirisena has decided to make the former Defence Secretary Fernando and the IGP fall guys in the debacle. He has refused to take responsibility for the lapse even though he holds the portfolio of Defence Minister and Minister of Law and Order in charge of the tri-forces and the police. Sirisena has also never named the SIS head as being at fault for failing to alert him even though it is to the SIS that foreign intelligence is channelled to. In fact if the President is maintaining he was not told by any of his officials SDIG Jayawardane should be the first to take the blame senior officials at the Ministry of Defence said. “We were always second to know about intelligence reports even though the SIS actually comes under MoD. First of all Jayawardane rushes to the President. About half of what he tells the President he later relays to us,” one official revealed.
An official who is on the President’s staff confirmed that SIS Head SDIG Jayawardane is Sirisena’s favourite police officer. “It was actually to make Nilantha Jayawardane a SDIG that the president suddenly cancelled Ravi Waidyalanka’s extension three months early also. He had a good excuse because of the corruption charges against Waidyalankara. But the real mission was to make Nilantha SDIG since there can be only so many SDIGs in the Police Department at one time,” the president’s office official said.

He should resign and be charged with withholding information and having inside information on an imminent terrorist attack. However if he does that means Ranil becomes President. I honestly don’t know what’s worse my3 staying or a ranil presidency… maybe both should resign and let Karu become president until elections. No hope for either of them ever becoming the next president
/
Suriya / April 28, 2019
Enough of this this blame game! There seems to be an absence of proper investigative reporting on the facts of the crime and focus on what is to be done.
This MUCK-RAKING blame game should stop as we already know that BOTH gamarala Clown Sira Prez. and Trumpland puppet Bondscam Ranil are BOTH corrupt, power hungry and culpable for the Easter Sunday Crimes and so many other crimes of commission and omission in Sri Lanka.
The point is to focus on analysis of the next steps and the crime and find answers re. the master minds, the motives, the selection of targets, why Sri lanka? why now?
Why were Fisheries and coastal communities and not inland Christian communities targeted? Why the interest in the Ocean which is a theme in this crime?
Why Shangri la, Why 2 bombers only for Shangri la? etc, etc.

Samson Gunawardhana / April 28, 2019
Hey guys,
.
I think Sirisena as the minister of DEFENCE / law and order (politice) should be deprived deprived of his civic rights for several years.
–
I have no idea, how a responsible leader could behave the way he did in terms of the tragedy he was informed… even after that, he had flown to Singapore, not having returned to the country. He had returned to the country only midnight of that day.
:
All these proved well, even to a person with a little brain, that he totally ignored the incident of 250 got killed by that incident.
:
This man should be PUT in jail for the rest of his life. That he deserves for sure. All divine forces be with the dead and us the sufferer to get rid of this BP Sirisena.
/
babanpunchi / April 28, 2019
This is not the first time ever SIRISENA’s stupid acts/indifferenceS costed the anxities in this country.
.
Just few months ago, it was the most unexpectable experienc, our eyes could not believe it happening – it was, incumbent president himself appointed former president Rajaakshe firing legitimate PM Wickramasinghe. I thought the world can not be true.
–
The kind of betrayals are no common to one of the oldest democracies in asia. His predecessors though behaved somewhat strange, but we never had the kind of bizare acts experienced from an elected head of states. He never thought twice, but did it – making him the most stupid man in south asian region. The KIND OF BETRAYALs can only be THINKABLE/POSIBLE, if
either the person is mentally sick or a total failure as a president. President in constitution is the pilot of the plane, that loadeded with 22 millions of people. If the pilot would become mad, he should be the person to be charged.
:
But even if the world is very clear the president is now naked, president himself and his men address the gullible majority with hoodwinking speeches by bamboozling the very same nation. Local media institutions are made standing out his opinions, now being mixed with former Presidents’ and his allies. All is done to get his term extended by becoming the common candidate for the upcoming election. People should be well aware of the facts about the current situation. This man is no worth to trust even as a clerical clerk in an adminstrative body:
That was the reason, following October 2018 conspiracy, after the SUPREME court’s verdict, just an ordinary citizen one single man of lanken population filed a case asking lanken courts that the PRESIDENT #S MENTAL HEALTH should be examined sooner than later.

Why on earth Law makers have no backbone to impeach this man ?
.
Why should they wait further ? There was some speculations, that the president Sirisena has some difficulties to understand more of the statements due to lack of his education/experience. Latter should NOT be kept to them yet today, after innocient people have to sacrifice their lives for a failure of president.
:
President always makes every effort to put the blame on UNP, in the same time totally ignoring the national security. If he wanted to have fund with PROSTITUTEs by travelling to Singapore, it was no means the time to leave the country, amidst, COUNTRYs intelligence warned about the possible church attacks.
:
He has PLACED HIS FAMILY before the national security. What is the difference between Sirisena’s and that of Rajaapkss. Both behaviours are the sides of the same coin. THese men are selfish buggers, gods should punish them on the spot.

Amarasiri had given the Titles of Traitor, Sevalaya, Pachaya, Mala-Perethaya, Patholaya, etc. for quite some time to Sirisena.Too bad these warnings were ignored, and we have 300 innocent dead Sri Lankans and tourists, our guests. In addition, the Muslims have been warning about the terrorists for quite some time, and they fell on deaf years.
Why is the Parliament not impeaching Sirisena? Why are the people not hanging Sirisena?

Buramphisincho / April 28, 2019
Edwin Mahaththayo,
.
We the rank and file are well aware of the fact that president’s profile is dangerous AND akin to square peg in a round hole – for a country of our nature whose national security should be kept above anything else, after a 30-year long civil war.
:
You as a senior professional may know it, if a person’s profile is not all its cracked upto to be, how things could end up right ?- we the sinhala diaspora noticed this clearly by the most stupid incident architected by the same man ( Pallewatte Gamaralalage Maithripala Yapa Sirisena (Sinhala: පල්ලෙවත්ත ගමරාළලාගේ මෛත්රීපාල යාපා සිරිසේන; Tamil: பல்லேவத்த கமரலகே மைத்திரிபால யாப்பா சிறிசேன; born 3 September 1951) in last October 2018). The play costed the stated over 770 billions, as some reporters calculated.
–
Some were in the view, incumbent president the JOKER of the country, had no intention to return home, even if he was well informed about the attack occured on that very day at about 9:00 AM. He had just been away from the country to India and Singapore (rumours proved that the bugger was on a wellness/Sex trip to Singapore following his Kovil visit to India).
–
As for me, this man should be PUT in jail for his rest of life for all the deliberative crimes committed by him in his term, as an elected president. His statements one behind the other seems to have ZERO crediblity. Not many would respect him today. His actions are very irresponsible. How could a man as a president be away from the country, knowing that the two ministries he is made accoutable for have no acting ministers in his absence ? Keeping law and order under him was a trick to hoodwink the nation. There had been no such ASSASINATION plot, nor a report published following that investigation.

This time, Hanuman got the terrorists, to do the burning.

Kakka / April 28, 2019
President Sirisena does not understand the law, the constitution or the security threats. He does not even understand basic human qualities. Having said this he happened only because Ranil Wickramasinghe hogged on to his part leaders position with the aid of some rotters around him. Even this mad man was definitely better than those old thieving conniving, uneducated ,stupid family . God knows how many people would have died under those murdered. After all they have nurtured some of these terrorists.
This man still continues to lie to the nation and he behaves like a coolie.
/
Rarityminds / April 29, 2019
He only undertands the MAHINDA CHINTHANYA: He was then one of the asskissers of Rajapakshes. So, how can he ever be normal ?:
:
SB Disanayaka is one of most abusive men of Rajapakshes govt.
Bandula GUnawardhana was that obsequeous to Rajaakshe family as the minister of education – the kind of men were more loyal to that vicious family than the domestic dogs of Rajapakshes family. This was the hedgemony that they built during that 10 years.
:
But people should be clear that the kind of men would never do good to this country. They dont have the feeling that the nation s issues should be kept above anything else.
If SIRISENA would have been found alone, no doubt, amok runner would tear him int to people as wild animals would do. THat is what I feel, after having read about the ground realities of SIRISENA s stupid and silly behaviours regarding national security.

Sarath,: Also, SIRA is not alone. He always briefs everything that happens with MaRa. That’s why the RULING ELITE MAFIA managed to make him the Opposition Leader although, its a complete violation against the norms. It is then he can have closed door meetings always with the “Opposition Leader” to discuss about official matters and the ‘SECRET MATTERS” most importantly. The 70+ years baila talks which lulled the Sinhala Majority may not work when the Foreign Investigations takes place in serious terms in studying the full history of of Sri Lanka and its conflicts. When they sift through the haystack they will find “SINHALA RACIST NETWORK” trampling and foot print all over the place. Let the Foreigners who lost their lives do a bloody good study and issue it in the Global Media like the Channel 24 etc. It is then the WATERLOO of the SINHALA RACISM will be known to everyone. For now, these scumbags are too powerful to touch and the world have to see the downfall of this entire SINHALA RACIST machinery to dig into see what else they did in the DARK HISTORY of their MAFIA RULE of 70+ years that soaked this nation with blood of the innocent TAX PAYERS.

Radical Ideas / April 29, 2019
Let me be more clear on the issue of the DAMAGE that cause to this nation by the SINHALA BUDDHIST RACIST NETWORK which is still being pushed through this calamity that THEY’re picking POLITICAL SCORES to make the SINHALA RACIST SCION, The Undeclared KING (Muck head) for the Presidency. He is already having a plan to further the ZIONIST plan he and his team executed through BBS, RAVANA BALAKAYA, MAHASON etc. They are now marketing the BAN OF BURKAH forgetting that its the T/SHIRTS, PANTS & BACKPACKS that was worn by the TERORISTS. So, why don’t we ban these dresses too? Because, these dresses are so dangerous, that anyone can wear it and his identity will be unknown to anyone. Also, why not BAN THE SIWURA (YELLOW ROBE) TOO? Because, it was this dress that was used to give the pusch and the LEADERSHIP to unleash RIOTS & POGROMS against innocent Muslims. What was the TERRORIST ZAHRAN’s one of the points to call his followers to gather around him???? It was the seeking of vengeance on ALUTHGAMA & DIGANA riots which was conducted by the BBS Leadership with the FULL BACKING of the SLPP/GOTA TEAM to push the Muslims to take up arms or to come back violently in reprisals. The SINHALA RACIST NETWORK just achieved their goal after so much hard work done through a period of 5-15 years span. It started from Ven. Soma time. They’re very good PROFESSIONALS in PRODUCING TERRORISTS. The Christian community must take extra care as the same RACIST NETWORK is targeting them too. Attacks on the CHURCHES by the RACISTS is to go in that direction one day. It may take many years, but they will make it happen. For SURE, like the Morning Sunrise!

Amarey, this one is excellent. You have been one of the oldest OWL in this forum commenting for years, have told the truth indeed. Wahhabism is the one that destroyed the OTTOMAN KHALIFATE and with the help of the British established the Saudi Kingdom. The Zionist’s biggest supporter and helper in maintaining the division within the Islam is Wahhabi Masters. I quote from a wonderful article on the subject called…….ISIS ARE NOT SUNNIS. THEY’RE BRITISH AND SALAFI PLOT TO CREATE NEO-CALIPHATE-By David Livingstone————————————–
“Wahhab, a crypto Jew, supported by his sponsor, another crypto-Jew, Ibn Saud, the progenitor of the kingdom by that name, denounced every generation before him, except for the earliest to have succeeded the Prophet Mohammed, known as the Salaf, as having fallen into Kufr (apostacy). In other words, he rejected the entire era that produced the details of Islamic legal tradition and the Maddhabs. Instead, he called for a return to the sources, the Quran and Sunnah, undefiled by “human” opinion. He therefore also called a “Jihad” against the Muslims, first within Arabia, and ultimately against the Ottoman Empire” end quote—————-

The guy is making preparations to contest elections I think. He is probably pre-occupied with how to win against Mr. Premadasa or Mr. Gotabhaya who will quite possibly enter the fray as contestants. So in the front of his mind is not security of the island but something else.
The likes of Sirisena will come and go. The people will have to work with the current choices at hand. Security of the island is a collective endeavour. If Sirisena fails unfortunately all fail and the repercussions will be felt for a long time afterwards.
The Moslem majority seem to distance themselves from the extremists. This is quite a positive thing to begin with. Sacking of the DIG and banning the extremist appeal to the lowest common denominator. I think the guy is electioneering there again.
What is required is a paradigm shift in all people of the island to take things in a new direction. The fourth pillar that form the civil society and media need to take a stand here.
The island lost its moorings circa 1890. The tragedy befell the islanders keep repeating as a consequence. At the island’s core exists something quite astonishing. When it’s revealed to the world no suicide bomber will ever again want to kill himself and others here.
Click “Jambu” above and read the information there. It has had an update to the content there. It is the responsibility of everyone to let know their kith, kin and others on the planet what has laid hidden from them all this time.

Both Sirisena and Wickremesinghe are to blame. They should resign. The question though is who is there to take over. The politicians are not going to deliver. The methods that the Rajapakses would use are too horrendous to contemplate. There will be a perpetuation of murder and mayhem in the country. A council consisting of eminent Sri Lankans, the heads of the police and the armed forces, some judges of the Supreme Court, the prelates of the Sangha, the Cardinal, the Bishop of Colombo, a leading Hindu with other religious representation should be formed to run the country and rid it of Islamic terrorism. Elections could be held after the this has been done excluding those who have charges of corruption or muder against them. This may not happen but having two incompetents who don’t talk to each other running the government at this time is frightening in itself, more frightening than the terrorists. Next time we meet a terrorist, if we are in a crowd, we will deal with them but who will deal with incompetent leaders? Can I ask Wickremesinghe who knows of the deficiencies of the law whether we can bring a collective action against him and Sirisena for gross dereliction of duty?

What is priority now is to stabilise the country and establish law and order. Security forces are fulfilling their duty very well. Lets extend maximum support to them.
However officials responsible for these lapses regardless of their levels should be brought to book without fail. Politicians should not be allowed to fool people again and escape. Citizens of this country should not tolerate any nonsonse this time and demand accountability.

This is classic fake news aimed at tarnishing the name of the president. CT obviously doesn’t like him after his sacking of the incompetent UNP imposter Ranil Wickremesinghe in October 2018.
\
For news to be credible, sources need to be at least alluded to, if naming is a problem. But the ‘revelation’ here is only an insinuation without citing a credible source.

Even if the DIG Intelligence talked to the president of the threats as alleged, that does not exonerate the dumb defence secretary or the conspiratorial IGP. They should ahve informed. It is also significant that the IGP went to see the speaker after he was sacked. He is clearly a power hungry, incompetent and an untrustworthy man.

CT must retract this absurd allegation and publish a full apology.

Didnt I say so. This is not just negligence, the way some will like to project. This was planned calculated murder of innocent people by criminal politicians, for their own gain.The SOB willfully obstructed did not disclose and trying to scapegoat others and wiggle out of it, which is his usual tactic which we saw last year following raping the constitution (remember “I consulted eminent scholars in constitution”). Retarded Lankans happily brought it then and they will do again. Unfortunately in Lanka 250 innocent lives do not mean much to save thousands in future. Exploiting this crime another criminal GR is promising the public “if elected to power he will eradicate ISIS”. Regardless I am sure given his history he will get rid of lot of innocent people in name of ISIS and disciplining.

Emperor has Lost His Ambude and the Other the Clothes (balls!)
Why Sri Lankan people deserve to ruled by these two jokers? Why aren’t they on the street calling for these dumb asses’ resignation?
The bank thief, the so-called, highly overrated, great strategist has no clothes (balls!). He simply was not on the loop!
Gamarala is in idiot who doesn’t know whether he is coming or going. He cannot see anything beyond himself, his family and hanging on to the power handed over to him by fluke. They keep blaming each other while 250 innocent lives, including 40 foreigners, are lost and another large number is injured. There is blood in their (two jokers) hands. The set back to the country can run for 3-5 years, if we are lucky. Look at what happened to the tourism/investment in Egypt and Bali after the terror attacks. Developing countries get affected much harder after the terror attacks than the developed countries (France/UK). Sri Lanka’s economy, which is burdened with very high international debt, will pay a huge price for mistakes of these two jokers. The impact will be felt in the coming months as investment/tourism slow, risk profile of SL and the cost of servicing debt goes up and the currency devalues to reflect all this.
One joker blames that he was not on the loop (what was he doing as the PM and his chosen nephew as the State Minister of Defense?). Other joker says he was not told? Who is at fault, if he is not lying. The Defense/police force is under him to due to grab of power even though the man is clueless to run a paddy field never mind a country.
It is too much of a burden to keep these jokers in power until the elections (they will sure to get thrown out).

Didnt I say so. Quit a few will like to project this as negligence/neglect. But this is actually willful calculated murder of innocent people, by our criminal politicians for self gain.Unfortunately in Lanka 250 innocent lives does not mean much , to save thousands in future. MS is well known to scapegoat and lie. He had done this last year after rapping the constitution. Remember “I consulted the scholars in constitution”. There is enough donkeys (like the ilk of Devendra and conspirators who enable these criminals. Exploiting this self created tragedy another SOB is promising to eradicate ISIS if elected to power. Regardless given his history I am sure he will get rid of a lot of innocent Lankans in the name of ISIS and disciplining. Lankans of the ilk of Devendra will sure like to keep the momentum going. Thrice F – – – – D (LTTE, JVP and ISIS) and more to come.
