Strong links between Sri Lanka’s Secretary to the Ministry of Defence Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) that recently instigated anti-Muslim violence in Southern Sri Lanka have been exposed by Ravaya – a mainstream Sinhala weekly newspaper in Sri Lanka.
Victor
The article written by the paper’s former Editor and its Chairman – Victor Ivan titled ‘Gotabaya’s shadow’ has revealed the extent to which Gotabaya has been influencing activities of the BBS.
The piece discloses that following the deadly attacks in Aluthgama and Beruwala, the BBS had been instructed by Gotabaya to hold a press conference and clear his name off the mounting accusations that held him responsible for the attacks on Muslims. He had asked the BBS General Secretary Galagoda Atte Gnanasara – the monk infamous for his racist remarks, to disassociate Gotabaya with the organization’s activities.
Ivan thereafter has revealed a secret, which he states that only a handful of journalists were aware of until he put it in writing.
“A top intelligence official had phoned a news editor of a well- known media institution and asked for a journalist to be assigned to cover the BBS press conference. The official had not received a positive response from the news editor. Thereafter in a matter of seconds, Gota had contacted him and demanded a journalist be sent to the BBS presser,” Ivan has written.
During this media briefing, Gnanasara had repetitively highlighted that they are in no way maintaining connections with the Defense Secretary. “This was the precise moment where the proverbial cat was let out of the bag,” Ivan has written.
He has gone on to state that Gotabaya, from being the people’s hero following the end of the war against Prabhakaran and the LTTE, has now turned into a trouble-maker that has managed to create numerous crises in the country that have heavily impacted Sri Lanka’s progress.
“He (Gotabaya) has not only nurtured extremist forces but has also continued to protect them – BBS is the perfect example of this plight. Gnanasara’s bravery is more a case of his close association with Gotabaya than it being a sheer trait,” Ivan writes.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has also been blamed for the present predicament as he has pointed out it is Mahinda’s attitude of allowing Gotabaya to continue as he pleases, that has led to Gotabaya being able to exert a superior power that does not fall under the scrutiny of any authority.
The writer has highlighted the fact that although Gotabaya might be having aspirations of surpassing his brother (Mahinda) in politics soon enough, his continuous tendency to analyze political developments though a military angle has pushed him to inadvertently dig the graves of not simply his brothers but also the government’s political future as a whole.
Furthermore, he has also heavily criticized Gotabaya’s promotion of extra-judicial killings, describing them as a ‘fascist act’ as well as the rapid militarization of every single aspect of the country including education, which Ivan has described as Gota’s ‘ single biggest political blunder’.

This is the man who lead the campaign to bring MR into power. That is the reason why he stayed that long kirimati gilapu kimbula wage. Today the society is in pieces but he never uttered a single word duing last 5 years. Either the man was on medicine or perks offered to him may have silent him too. That are the tricks of unethical bugger MR. He provided all teh heaven to the Vasu and Wimal buruwansa to stay mum even if their balls are being damaged on open stage. This is the reason why many other ministers to stay as if they belong to the bank bencher seats.
Give me one single ministry that you consider functions by their own – so called independence they the Dayasiri the ura and everyone repeats – has MR at all allowed in today ^s context. [Edited out] like Dayasiri are not even worth to get labour work done. He today attacks only Ranil for his own agendas, but buru donkey peoole rally round him … because enjoying his singing capactiy… people have become sick in this society today not being able to see the right at the right time.
Buggers of Rajapakshe circles have injected those stupid people with hallozination injection materials, but active phases of those materials seem to be the end soo… as no more injections can make the very same folks cheated this time.

Desert Storm / June 30, 2014
People are waking up not because suddenly they have seen a MIRACLE ENLIGHTMENT.
its all because of one bloody dangerous factor howering this shit peice of land called Sri Lanka –
Its the ECONIMIC EMBARGO which is going to be implemented by the Arabs & the Muslim countries.
The OIC (Organisation of Ilsamic Countries) is considering following areas to implement :
1. Immediately regulate the VISA restriction to the Sinhalas. Which means all the Sinhala workers in the OIC countries will expel the fund raisers to the SINHALA ONLY programme by working in Muslim countries and then voting for Mass Murderer Mahinda & falling at the fett of racist yellow robed monk-eys. The Sinhalas are always racists as we know those who in the ME speak loudly & arrongantly degrading Islam and the Arabs although the Arabs have provided jobs to them for the last 40 years that no Buddhist country has done so far nor the Wirathu of Burma (coward who attacks unarmed innocent Muslims).
2. Oil Embargo
Either oil will be banned from exporting to Shit Land Sri Lnka or high premium is levied on the sale of a barrel. The money collected will be put in forth for the Muslims who got affected by the Racist Buddhists.
3. Total ban on the goods exported from Sri Lanka (the shit land) or Ban on Sinhala Buddist Businessmen (Who fund the Sinhala Only project continuously) produced goods.
4. Ban on shipping and airlines to & from Sri Lanka ( Sri Lankan & Mihin will also be banned) including the use of Muslim country’s air space.
5. Complete stop of Muslims travelling to Sri Lanka as Tourists.
6. OIC countries will support anything the International community takes against Sri Lanka in the world forums and scenes.
7. Mahinda & Gota’s financed companies and entities will be banned from sharing and participating with Muslim countries.
8. Pakistan will be made to stop lending support to the Evil military establishment of this shit land.
I think the above points are the reason for which few people are coming out openly to speak out. Its going to affect all.
There will be money crunch to finance this Racist Govt., and its operations. The Evil Armed Forces of this shit country will not be able to run witout hard cash coming from Middle East.
I think THE BAN will BE IMPOSED TO by the Muslim countries at least see a speed breaker to this Unstoppable SINHALA ONLY TERROR running for at least more than a 100 years old with the full backing of the entire state, Temple and Sinhala Buddists.
THEY SHOULD FEEL THE PAIN OF of Racial hatred directed towards others.

The other fact it is Mahinda’s brain child creation of BBS. Mahinda got Gota to manage BBS. Creation of BBS is part of Mahinda chinthana to fulfill several wider political objectives.
It is dirty Medumalana politics by brothers.

We still remember what happened to our war hero Gen.Sarath Fonseka, Rathupaswela, Chilaw Fishermen, Katunayake murder, university students etc,etc.
When Reading Tisaranee’s news letters it is clear that the fall of Rajapakse Family Dynasty have already commenced and Aluthgama and Beruwala insidents have made it come faster.
Many more will follow in coming weeks.

Lasantha,
they cant grab the war credit from SF who sacrificed his life for the war… forever. Rajapakshes power will no longer that strong in srilanka and abroad. It is the edcuation make someone complete.. unfortunately, none of the Rajapakshes have that – that is th ereason why they do things so arbitorily.. sometimes, not considering any respect to the human beings. Can we at all afford to harm own folks further while bieng caught by a UN resolution – that says current regime of the island is critial in terms of human rights improvment in the post war episodes.

Yes Samuel. Karma will come back to them soon.
How can a man who sacrificed the life not once several times for the nation, as once Mahanayakas insisted that SF should be given all pardon if he has done any wrong doings during his army service, but never to forget the his unique sacrifices. Erasing all of them for their own adavantage, govt acted against him going beyond every margins. That the nature would never forget. Today, there are ones that go do harm at day light and live free from lanken poliice or other like forces… Those goons ordered to work for underground agendas of Rajaapakshe as seen in Hambantota and Aluthgama are born criminals. Their langauges as Ajith Perera explained it far from all civlized levels.
The very same man behaving UPASAKAYA before the rural poor people, furhter making every effort gaining power further is what not everyone can do, but Rajapakshes.
Unethical, Uncultured uneducated rascals.

At last some sensible opinion from Ivan, a man I had immense respect back of the day growing up in Sri Lanka in later eighties to early 90’s and running to the newsstand on later Friday to catch the Sunday Ravaya which did a really good job in exposing another dictator Premadasa and the impeachment saga and corruption.
Not sure how much MARA paid for Ivan latterly as this man was hiding in his shell for so long and even now, he comes after GORA and not the corrupt to the core other Rajapaksa siblings or rogues like Cabral or Sajin Vaas etc.
Ivan, you have a role to play as the senior most investigative journalist the country have ever known and please do not keep selling your soul to few million rupees of Rajapaksas.

Gotha is the architect of the “silent military coup” that has already taken place in Sri Lanka. If Rajapakse does not win the election, then we will see the military takeover. Gotha does everything according to the advice of the Chinese.
/
Upasiri de Silva / June 30, 2014
This is not Ivans’s opinion. Ramayana is now under the Mahinda Rajapaksa, and what Ivan is trying to say is what Mahinda R needs the people to know. It was no secret that BBS was formulated by Gotabaya and arrange them to get funds from Norway, and later dispatch them to USA to meet the American CIA officials to discuss how to create problems for Mahinda, so Gotabaya can be the next President.
Gotabaya the man Chandraprema describe as the HERO who won the LTTE was, for 18 years in his life, 4 years trying to stop the JVP by killing those young boys and girls, and later leaving the Army on Health grounds was working at a 7/11 shop, after eating Pin Bath from a Temple in LA, never even look at Sri Lanka for another 16 years, winning a war he had no knowledge about what the LTTE was up to, now trying to plan a division to bring down his own brother as he is greedy for money and power with the BBS. Any one trying to use The Lord Gautham’s wonderful religion for their own ends will never succeeded.
Today Sri Lanka is at cross roads because of this man Gotabaya’s action during the last days of the LTTE war. Which educated and Militaray experience DS will put the Army Commander who won the war and sacked the Inteligence Chief of the Army, who was responsible for most of the Inteligence gatherings with another 537 front line Officers and Soldiers, other than this man.
Today we are watching the beginning prof the fight between Mahinda & Gotabaya, and if Mahinda Rajapaksa as the President take swift action he may be able to evade the UN actions soon.

BBS Rep / June 30, 2014
What Ivan articulates now is something that most Sri Lankans have known for a long time.
BBS is Gota’s hitmen. This fact was universally accepted in Sri Lanka. The BBS were primed and ready to do the bidding of the master. But Gotas and BBS’s calculated and well planned murderous rampage in Aluthgama seems to have misfired. The hoons and goons of Sri Lanka did not rise up en mass the way they did in 1983. Even the otherwise placid and ineffective Ranil summoned up enough courage to question the authorities about the goings on at Aluthgama. The negative reactions from overseas were immediate and overwhelming and universally the Rajapaksa brothers were held directly responsible for the riots. The ‘Maha Loku’ reaction for the ‘Sulu Deval’ caught MR by surprise. Gota has been running for cover since the incident.
/
Jim softy / June 30, 2014
Victor Ivan is one who involved in an incident thousands of Sri Lankan youths getting killed. Those days he was in that path.
Nowadays, he is in a different path.
I don’t think he will have time long enough to understand that he was wrong this time too. Before that he goes kaput.
These idiots have big mouth but peanut brains. So keep on screaming.
If Mahinda Rajapakse can not do it any more because he does not know what to do and he is out of ideas, he should hand over it to his brother and he should become an advisor.

Secret agenda of BBS
My belief is the Opposition has so far failed to understand the hidden agenda of the BBS.
The real players of the government and the state have seen in advance that they would be in real trouble in case the government loses power at future elections.Hence they probably have designed a number of projects to remain in power as long as possible. The BBS is only one of their projects .At future elections the BBS will do the following jobs.
1 It will carry on a major propaganda campaign requesting the voters to re-elect the MR government.
2 It will carry on a vicious propaganda campaign against the Opposition.
3 Its fascist army will physically attack the opposition candidates and their supporters
4 It will sabotage Opposition meetings and rallies by attacking them.

Backlash / June 30, 2014
It is good the Rajapakses have not been able to entirely kill the element of criticism in the country – yet. Knowing their history, their poor education and the long family background as village thugs and criminals, one is certain they cannot be faulted for not trying hard. CT offering publicity to the views of Victor Ivan – who enjoys a wide readership among the activist young – is to be welcome. However much he tries, GRs enormous ambitions and his many instances of breaking established rules of governance to stay and consolidate the family in the power structure is being watched with critical concern.
At least with his limited education he must know his capturing of the post of Defence Secretary is completely against all laid down procedure. Of course, to him the position of Defence Secretary is the beginning and the end of everything – as he betrayed in his disastrous interview with the BBC.
All good and bad things must come to an end. Most people in the country in the four corners of the land are bitter and tired of the Rajapakse antics, their plundering and total misrule. The night races in Kandy have increased the number of those opposed to them.
Influential citizens like Victor Ivan must continue to raise their voices against the many negatives of the illegal Rajapakse regime.

dawood / June 30, 2014
The fact that Ivan was not afraid to say it proves that the white vans are NOT the work of Gota.
Perhps many readers do not know that many main-stream Muslims are very unhappy with the extremist Islamic movements that have come up in this country in the last few decades.
Do you remember our Muslim women going about wearing Black-tent dresses (Burka) and Hijabs etc., in the past?
NO, vehemently not.
The Sri lankan Muslims had educated, open-mined leaders like Azeez, Rasik Farid, T. B. Jayah and others who must be turning in the grave thinking of what has happened to Muslim perople in Sri Lanka. I don’t condone the BBS, but our Muslim leaders are not strong enough, or honest enough, to speak up against this creeping extremism among Muslims, and only point fingers at the BBS.
The Tamil TULF leaders also attacked the Sinhalese and kept silent when their “boys” began to do nasty things; they began by killing their own (e.g., Duraiappah), and then turned towards the Sinhalese. The Muslim situation is now in the early phase, where some Moderate Muslim leaders have been intimidated and also eliminated by killings. The attempt by Muslim youth to close No Limit by force, and when they did not succeed, they set it on fire is similar to what the early LTTE did in intimidating their population.
Hope Gota would put this straight.

How about answering my points instead of the usual dodging the question and attacking the messenger.
Did you have Muslim women wearing Burkas and Hijabs showing up everywhere including in Universities those days?
If you had studied at Zahira college in Maradana you would know the prevailing liberal atmosphere there. Teachers used to talk about Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells and such writers, and not just put everything into a religious basket.
The threat to the liberal Muslim community is serious. They don’t have the external support. The extremists have the external support, just as the LTTE-rump has the Diaspora support.

I have no wish to defend Gotabaya Rajapakse who probably can command all the resources of the State to do that.But Victor Ivan whose mediocre and sweeping style of writing needs to be commented on.If you want to know the ridiculous nature of Victor Ivan’s mind just read that Unfinished Struggle in which he wrote about Ex CJ Sarath Silva.Although Sarath Silva was a damnable character the book sounds so extreme and biased that the reader will begin to think that Victor Ivan is a mad man or a charlatan.
Maybe this is all that the swabasha education can give to a moderatly intelligent man who goes about imagining the worse of all those who are socially superior to him. Former JVPer ,later Catholic action and so called exposer of corruption, confidante of Chandrik etc. When Chandrika came to power Victor Ivan wrote an article naming her “the modernizer of Sri Lanka !.” What a joke !
No Mr Ivan 2+2 is not 10 !
I will give you a very plausible explanation of the facts you have given. Gota upset at a baseless attempt at connecting him with the BBS demands that they deny that openly. Wanting wide publicity to this denial by the BBS he tries to have a big media coverage for the BBS conference. Does that mean that he is behind the BBS ? Even to our enemy we must be truthful and fair. As I see it there is no clear evidence that Gota is behind BBS. It is just speculation and perhaps hate propaganda.There are no good guys in this thing.

I always knew that Victor Ivan sincerely loves this country but unfortunately over the past 5-6 years he was fooled by the Rajapaksas. At least now that he has realized the danger in keping quiet, the people of Sri Lanka should encourage him to influence the other journalists too to come out of their slumber and criticize the wrong doings of this regime. Victor Ivan is powerful. He is the one who changed the minds of people to change regimes in the early 90s. So, this is a very good sign for the future of Sri Lanka.

That the buggers in Power though with bird brains should finally get it and save the nation from the danger of this kind of elements and their hate speeches dividing the nation further. We have not had any kind of clashes between muslim or tamil brothers. But there are a small bunch in every side that would go against the other. That is how a society is consisted of. If the authoriteis would not fail to do the due saferguarding the people secure – nothing will have space to rise violence. That is so simple to all of us the ones who only seek the final peace among all nations, we as srilankens.. but all others that hide being their ministerial and other titles with no knowledge seem to tick different. Anyway, ALL religious leaderhs should come together to elminiate any form of radical thought bearers. It is cheaper for us to send Gag for a rehablitation centree for few years until others can make the way towards peace.

Dear Mr. Victor Ivan, so far, for 10 Years we believed your theory as J.R Jayawardana was the main course to the present disaster. After that your target was Chandrika. we never heard you blame anyone else except JRJ and Chandrika for ruining the Country. If you follow your own theory that State head directly responsible for any disaster, now your target should be none other than Mahinda Rajapaksha. now you are trying to white wash Mahinda Rajapaksha saying he is allowing Gota to continue as he pleases. What kind of theory is this? You are acting just like Wimal Weerawansa. Weerawansa also accusing Dr. P.B Jayasundara as “Aarthika Ghathakaya” for visible disaster in the economy. Wimal forget that his Boss is the President and Finance Minister and finally he is responsible for economic disaster. There Wimal make President as “Seeni Ukkung” by attacking PB. Now you are accusing Offence Secretory leaving President as “Baba Ukkung”. May be you got some contract to white wash Elected President by putting the blame on non-elected Offence secretory. Don’t forgot that People voted Mahinda Rajapaksha to rule the country for certain period but not this Offence Secretary. As President of this country he should be able to control this Offence Secretary and you should have balls to put the blame where it belongs to.

Dear Lapatiya when are you going to be a wadihitiya?

Why he is waiting, because he knows that he will never survive even a day if he starts such a venture.

Now with the UN officials are unpacking their bags in the island, Gulf countries are threatening to boycott Sri Lankan sinhalese jobs and oil concessions.
All these dirt will be washed down the middle class and the poor Lankans who voted and the opposition who kept silent.

He was once a one armed bandit in
the JVP. Then he was rehabilitated
to become a journalist. In the past
many years, Victor Ivan was one of
the topmost bum sucker of the Mahinda
Rajapaksa Government. In the United
States what he did would be termed
brown nosing.
Yet, I salute him. Well done Victor!!
Sooner than later you have realised
the futility of a family that is ruining
the country under different pretexts.
What is important to note is this – Victor
Ivan is playing the role of the Leader of
the Opposition. He fearlessly takes on
Gothabhaya Rajapaksa.
What about our Leader of the Opposition, Ranil
Wickramasinghe? He is a spinless, gutless,
hopeless amoeba. Has he ever spoken ONE word
against Gothabhaya, Mahinda, Basil or any other
person in the family? He will just make a small
snide remark and outsource the scolding part to
others in the party.
There was a joke last Sunday. TWO rpt TWO weeks
after the ethnic riots in Aluthgama and Beruwala,
Wickremesinghe visited the area. Reconstruction work
has already started. Did he wait till he received
permission from President Rajapaksa?
The joker is now trying to be the UNP candidate at future
Presidential election. He thinks he can win. He has now
made friends with Maharaja, Tiran, Tusara Gooneratne and
the tribe. Why? MR wants him to contest and Tiran Alles has
done the needful with Maharaja.Even there Ranil is helping
MR.
This is the wonder of Asia. After his new interviews in
Sirasa, Ranil is already behaving as if he has won the
Presidential elections.

When Ranil pointed out the Ugly American Gota amongst us to Rchard Armitage when he visited Sri Lanka, long before everyone else, where was this bugger Manawadu? Hiding under MR’s reddha?

Ivan:
Gnanasara’s Bravery Comes From Gota.
You have made a mistake and you should rephrase it as follows.
“Gnanasaras Thugerry comes from Gotha”
The Paksas are local Humbanthotta Thugs and what else do you expect from Thugs . THUGERRY and the only force that can remove them has to come from outside.
USA has already pointed the finger at Gotha for giving the order to kill all those who surrendered and as a US citizen have asked for answers.
Modi recently visited Tamilnadu and had talks with Jeyalalitha.
The signs are ominous.

As beginning of LTTE also above so called peace lovers talked, talked and still talking. Why BBS established and what are the reasons they are active and what are their demands? Apply the rule of law in the country against muslim extremism. Can any one here tell me why we as buddhist or tamil or what so ever being, to pay for halal? It is ridiculous to knew we were paying our hard earning money on this halal. No one came forward and all were shut their mouth to this muslim extreme act. Only BBS open their mouth and act against it. Until that moment muslims or jamaitulla or what ever org cheating public of SriLanka. There are no existence of BBS or Ravana balaya or any thing, at very first moment of stop been cheated Srlankans by muslims or another. BBS has good reason to be exist, majority village sinhalese will never let down BBS until there is a problem created by other forces. Give the solution for the problem creators.

yes pal, this [Edited out] – fox once wrote all revolutinized book against CBK took that long to wake up from his long slumber mode. Book against CBK though transmogrified her politics since then, I doubt the very same writer would dare to do the same in terms of Rajas – if yes, only we can see the cleanness of his journalism soon.
Even in the current article, as to the very same nature of DJ, Victor Iwan seem to see nothing wrong with MR adminsitration but just adding few words against his brother Gota. May also be possible that MR himself contracted this to fall in this way, sensing the danger of his brother in the days to come

Hey guyys, I have a good question to you all. How many of the lanken and world population will mourn if Gota would be found dead to the very same manner as Premadasa fated ?
I am tellling you – not many… today, everyone is compelled to bend their heads since Rajapakshes are made draculas in them. People have fears. People have no guts come forward and express their heart out. People dont trust anyone. People have no rescpet to anyone either.
