A fearful MP Wimal Weerawansa pin pointed the exact location of the mass graves related to the last phase of Sri Lanka’s civil war.
MP Weerawansa exposed this exact location when he met the Malwatte chief prelate Ven. Thibbatuwawe Sri Siddhartha Sumangala Thera in Kandy a few days ago. He feared that under the new government’s policies the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, his brother Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa whose self-claimed accolades of the war victory and other top military brass could be charged for war crimes.
Weerawansa went on to spill the beans in his attempt to create a fear psychosis among the prelate which was published in a video clip by Ceylon News.
According to Weerawansa, the removal of a military camp in Kilinochchi recently is bound to create a huge problem as thousands of LTTE cadres buried are bound to be unearthed. If and when that happens it is going to be difficult to identify the bodies to be those of the LTTE or civilians. This may create a huge problem as it could be alleged that war crimes were definitely committed by the government forces.
Further emphasizing Gota’s mass graves a fearful Wimal Weerawansa said “If this happens, the United Nations could declare the North – East as a separate country like how Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008”. (Janaka Ranaweera @ Colombo Telegraph)
Mallaiyuran / September 16, 2016
War crime was committed by all Appe Anduwas. Weeravansa need not be witness for that. All location in North has to be dug up. UN and Appe Andu has to pay for that. If Sampanathar got a secret solution from Ranil before that all, he may want to keep it also secretly. Tamils don’t need it. Investigation have to be the first one.

“what was the issue ?”
Wimal Sangili Karruppan Weerawansa says:
“According to Weerawansa, the removal of a military camp in Kilinochchi recently is bound to create a huge problem as thousands of LTTE cadres buried are bound to be unearthed.”.
He does not need to worry too much about unearthing skeletons in the army camps.
Army has strategically erected Buddha statues everywhere in their camps.
Digging under Buddha statues would amount to desecration and sacrilege only for Sinhala/Buddhists.
Therefore no politician/judge/police would dare dig under Buddha.
Digging will not happen.
Has Gota already started digging a grave for Wimal?
/
Thiru / September 16, 2016
Do you remember Wimal Weerawansa inciting the Sri Lankan air force to carpet bomb Tamil villages just to kill the LTTE cadres: In other words, he was inciting the Air Force to kill Tamil civilians also indiscriminately when he visited Jaffna during the war in 2014-7 period.
This was reported in the Sri Lankan press at that time when I read his cruel advice.
He is also, therefore, guily of inciting war crimes with possible genocide intentions.
The truth has a habit of outing it when people go systematically after it.
Let’s pray that the whole truth of what happened to Tamils during the war comes out soon, so that justice can be done to the innocent Tamils who perished and those who are suffering still.

you better find the graves that CBK and MR2 made first because the new constitution she is proposing is sinhala buddhist state with 2nd tier for the rest.
“Buddha said that everyone is equal. So why are we against giving equal rights to everyone in the nation?. Our effort is to compile a constitution which gives priority to Buddhism and gives equal rights to all other religions and at least try to convert Sri Lanka into a semi-secular state even if we are unable to convert it into a totally secular state,” she said.

Agreed with all what you say. What I did was, borrowed some words from Gota that he uttered about Sarath Fonseka, when he was the Secretary of Defense. That burst from Gota was just for SF saying, if there were allegations about forces, it is good to find out the truth. If SF spilled the beans what WW does is he spills watermelons (going by size). The way he presenting the issue to the Ven. thero exposes his mindset: which is, there was no regret what so ever about killing people during MR reign but concern of WW is about the IC seeing it and consequences. Now, I can guess the reason as to why SL army shows a great deal of reluctance to release the private lands that they encroached. The secrets of the war victory was buried there and we should ensure not only the preservation of these but without letting any one to dig deep and open these graves.

First world prodcue all chemical nuclear or diverse other physical weapons to stay tuned be like or not.
Poor countries also have weapons in their forms. Some men and their radical thoughts are even worst than weapons. They always make every efforts to pass their views across masses and tie them up with their thoughts. THis has been the culture of srilankens too.
People like Wimal Weerwanse, Dayan Jayathilaka, Nalin De Silva, Udaya Gamnpila and the like are these most powerful weapons in our society. Their wording are filled with more negatively set vocabulary but to manipulate easy targets. Their thoughts are so powerful someties even more than a Xray traverse through matrix, those wording outreach masses.
This game has been the case inthe country over the decades with leaders direct mediation this has become even more radicaal alone the few years passed. BBS, Rawana or the like and some muslim organisations were known to us as a result of the activities of above men. The nature of human beings is if they are beaten to see alternatives to protect themselves from their enemies. In the country, if MR regime continued, no doubt, there would be an another LTTE-like organization built by muslim youth would take arms to go against radical lankens such as BBS caricatured srilaken sinhalayas.
This is why we need to strengthen law and order systems to the levels of singapore and germany – just right at this juncture to safeguard the rights of all citizens.
We dont want to go for wars again – never will that be the case if we the politicians and people would see them een more sensitivities by fulfiling the timeworthy steps necessary to take
To my eye, Wimal Buruwanse should be kept in a jail for his rehalibitation. That can save masses becoming violent.

Surely Pirahaparan and Pottu Amman are not darf to allow them to be buried with their Dog Tags. let alone in Army Uniform.

I too have been pondering about this for many years. Its a good point.
Now if you were so interested in Mahattaya’s body parts, you should have asked your mad mates in the military to find it out from VP when he surrendered to the army and before he was being hacked to death.
Kamal may have some clue. Wimal Sangili Karuppan Weerawansa may have known the exact spot.

Dear Sumanasekaram I love you now. Do you mean 12,000 soldiers surrendered to LTTE in Elephant pass. If their body was buried in there, didn’t you find when you were digging to bury Tamil civilians in May 2009 or you buried 12000 Tamils in Kilinochi. So, It is now clear 100,000 figure is correct.

Dear Rajash,
You and I have been exchanging ideas on many subjects, so you know that I am one who does NOT approve of people like Wimal Weerawansa. I certainly hope that he will be held accountable for at least some of his evil deeds.
However, I have seen your exchange of views here with “Dankotuwa Manike”. She is right. All human beings have certain public roles to play, so they have to be careful to comment only when it becomes really necessary. Think of the transformation brought about by the late Ven. Sobhitha of the Naga Vihara.
As for us, we know how un-Christian the conduct of the clergy of Uduvil has been:
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/uduvil-girls-college-politics-of-education-the-challenges-facing-private-schools/
I wonder whether you have seen that very balanced article that has appeared today?
If you want to get in touch with me, please look at the last comment here:
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/the-thomian-pharisees-are-unrepentant-why-this-matters-to-all-sri-lankans/
I have written clearly and honestly about that situation. I have given my e-mail address at the bottom of that last comment – after which there will be no more comments. I’m hoping that I will be ungagged, because the issues are important, and nobody has been able to call me names for writing about corruption in high places. What I was hoping for was that the points made by me would be challenged, leading to serious discussion. But no. I have proved my point beyond reasonable doubt, and the important personages have not been able to say anything in their own defence.
/
Rajash / September 16, 2016
Hi Panini Edirisinhe
I understand your comment and Sam Fernando also says that the Chapter monks don’t make public statement.
If Weerawansa is exploiting that and ranting about mass graves…surely the Chapter Monk should do something about it?
Call police and hand over him. Atleast politely ask Weerawansa to leave.
The video of Chapter monk taking such action would have gone wiral towards reconciliation and racial harmony

RE: Fearful Weerawansa Spills The Beans, Tells Exact Location Of Gota’s Mass Graves
“A fearful MP Wimal Weerawansa pin pointed the exact location of the mass graves related to the last phase of Sri Lanka’s civil war.”
There is no more reason for Wimal Weerawansa to cover Mahinda Rajapaksa and his cronies for crimes committed.
“He feared that under the new government’s policies the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, his brother Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa whose self-claimed accolades of the war victory and other top military brass could be charged for war crimes.”
One thing to be charged for War Crimes. Another thing to be punishing for War crimes. Even after WW 2, the Allies only hanged about 260 War Criminals. They were responsible for millions of killings.

If that is so it is so, people who committed such terrible things should pay the price whatever that penalty it deserves even if it amounts to division of the country. Remember the Government had harmed their own citizens and not people from outer space.
If a cover up of such grave injustice is fine by Wimal Weerawansa then he should accept the same injustice to him and why should he be making such a noise when he is accused and investigated for any abuse of privileges committed by him when he was a Minister under Rajapakse’s rule. Why should he complain from roof tops when others cover up their sins? This is the politics he plays.
He wants justice to him but he is fine associating with criminals and prevent justice when it comes to the others and they are dispensable. He calls himself a radical socialist, what a humbug hiding behind various attractive labels and slogans and hiding his own bad and cruel mind.

Wimal is a pseudo nationalist who is a lover of western living standards, business class travel, fancy phones and and holidays in Disneyland. Frankly there is nothing wrong for anybody to love these things. It only becomes completely wrong when you profess something different to the gullible masses by projecting yourself as a nationalist and then act contravening those values. He survives on instilling fear using ethnic and divisive methods. A discard from the JVP ( a party I am coming to respect so much lately) this man has a huge chip on his shoulder and is a serious threat to national interests because he looks for means of his own survival. MR is not strong on his own, Wimal, Dinesh and Vasu are members who are also individually weak people who thrive on each others political insecurities and the easiest tool they have is to instil fear fear in the majority communities using the minority community. Short as he comes and with a “chip on the shoulder” this man is complexed and needs to be dealt with severely.

My elders taught me- the background you come from is really important.
We perfectly know where Wimal W is coming from. What social class he belong to, what education he has earned ( just a school droper only).
Not being able to get on with ones sharing more according to their backgrounds, Wimal Weerawanse and the ilk have been isolated in our society today. So the voice he shine is representing the fraction.
This became to me even clearer after moving to Europe in late 80ties.
We the students came from different culture diverse walks of lives got together. Some I got to know are from asian coutries. More or less most of them bear the mixed mind sets since most of them except thai candidates were colonised by european masters.
Colonialsm should have done lot more dividing the culture during the centuries. Some folks being able to communicate in English overestimate their nature while the others not. Sure knowing an european langague well make it very helpful when getting on with them today, but still remains as one another medium only. What brings a langague without having proper education ?
Many from former colonies behaves even today – English, French language skills can make them above everything. This is what I myself felt having known to some people coming from Colombo even today.

The NPC should use the powers vested in it to the maximum and seek appropriate technology from aid agencies to identify mass graves in the North-East without having to dig everywhere; such technology may be helpful even close to SLA camps.
The international community and the Tamil Diaspora should make parallel efforts of their own to bring out the details of all the mass graves and war crimes methodically; the GoSL is unlikely to cooperate, so while there should be sustained pressure on the GoSL to cooperate, if they give the runaround–as they have been doing all along–, there should also be unilateral international efforts.
There can never be any reconciliation until the full extent of the mass graves and the details of war crimes are brought out and justice ensured.
