Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa called on the government to not hide the truth from the people, while claiming that the suicide jacket along with other explosives found in Chavakachcheri was in fact new, and not a cache of old explosives as claimed by the government.
Mahinda Rajapaksa
“As soon as I heard about the discovery, I called Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, he told me he will check on it and let me know,” Rajapaksa said while addressing an event in Anuradhapura on Saturday.
However, he went on to say that while the government claimed that the suicide jacket was old, according to information he had received this was new. “We got to know this is new, even though the government says it is old, the information I received is correct,” he said.
Rajapaksa went on to add that people should be informed and the truth must not be hidden.
According to the police the explosives including the suicide jacket which were found following a tip off, were wrapped in a Sinhalese language newspaper which was published in 2007. Police believed that the explosives were hidden during the war.

Since these are serious issues that undoubtedly need the most sensitive attention, even God should see it with impartial leaving investigative authorities do their job properly.
Right at the moment a gang led by former PRESIDENT is seen as making every effort to spread lies and grab the attention – mere PR actitivies. That alone shows their irresponsible behaviours.
Why should we all become invesitgators, that can only leave almost everything in chaos. Former high man should FINALLY learn to GRASPH that he is no longer president and be silent right at the moment as a MP.
He cant know it better -his advice can be useful nothing beyond that. Right at the moment, all lawful bodies are alert according to PM/President so why to leave and spread paranoid theories. As also made it clear by PM to the press, even today, Germany is working on new findings after 2nd world war – like bombs that had been mined somewhere.. etc. Not few months ago, I was about to fly from Dussedorf airport to Zurich – there they the authtorities had to annul our flight the reason had been a bomb/mine to have found in Dusseldorf near to the airport. The bomb was reported to be from 2nd world war.

It is the stupidity of Rajaakshe thinking still feels that they are the only ones who could know it better. But times will show them a lession soon. These 3-4 months will bring all harm to the nation but after all the settings are made towards development projects as it is planned by the current regime, nothign can go wrong – all in all 20% increase of tourist arrivals have been reported just for the last month. I know guys that long to come to ssrilanka for holidays. Most of them are germans.. german academics. Once upon a time slanka was their Urlaubsinsel(number one holiday destination) not Bankgok. Those who travel to bankgkok are mostly for cheap sex while those arrive in lanka are more to buddhism and nature coutry travelers.
Lanka can be boomed, if they the rrulers will make every efforts to promote tourism and secondly the software industry with the graduates being produced by lanken university colleages annualy.We need to decrease the numbers go to clean the toilets of arab folks – LANKENS should amend the laws so that only SKILLED AND PROFSSIONALS can leave the country if at all they want to see their income going to abroad.

e) Why you dont utter a single word on SRILANKEN losses but come up always with an another issue to cover up targeted ones that need your direct attention right at the moment ?
f) Experts believe even if the airline would have been sold out today, the burden – high losses left by it will not be able to settle… so you behaved like a most stupid and incapble man.. putting the burden on the others.

The Samaraweera-Gallage “verbal exchange” and its implications
By D.B.S. Jeyaraj

“Major General Chagi Gallage, General Officer Commanding (GOC) the Army’s 51 Division located in Kopay, who was once in charge of the Presidential Guard under former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, proposed that a military representative be included in the task force appointed by the Government to enforce provisions of the Geneva resolution”.
“Minister Samaraweera rejected the proposal saying this could not be done. An exchange of words is reported to have ensued. Days later, Maj. Gen. Gallage was transferred out of Jaffna. Senior Army officials declined to confirm or deny the incident. He has now been appointed Director General of Infantry at Army Headquarters”.

The police identified the suspect as Edward Julian alias Ramesh (32).
The police arrested the suspect at a check point at Wannerikulam in the Kilinochchi District.
Investigations have revealed that the suspect had moved into the safe house in January last year with the help of a person identified as Sivadarshan. Chavakachcheri-based sources said that Sivadarshan had been employed as a heavy vehicle driver and was responsible for facilitating the main suspect securing a safe house. Both Sivadarshan and the main suspect had worked for a Jaffna-based company for about two years.
Sivadarshan has disappeared in the wake of the main suspect’s arrest. Well informed sources told The Island that Sivadarshan’s brother was among those recruited to the Army during the previous administration. After the LTTE had been brought to heel, the previous government resumed recruitment of Tamil soldiers in accordance with an overall plan to promote national reconciliation. The soldier is based at a main camp in the Northern Province was likely to be questioned, sources said, adding that Julian seemed to be an important operative in a well-organised group determined to carry out a major attack

Unfortunately, this needs a thorough investigation. This could mean many things:

2. That is a plant to spook the nation and deliberately left there to be found, so that the nation
will be reminded just how great the previous regime was (making the people long for the Rajapaksa days).
3. A stupid joke at the expense of the people.
In our country, anything is possible and no one can be trusted.

Manel,
right at the moment, former president should better focus on as to why the information keep revealing why he spent billions of the people as Santaclos rather than adding any thoughts about the kits being found by police. It is not former high man or anyothers to add their thoughts on this – since the country having learnt lessions from a 30 year old cruel war, would never let this forget wihtout investigating.
Knowing all these, former guys must better shut their orifices not abusing those event to attack the current regime.

A ‘new’ “suicide kit” wrapped in an old 2007 newspaper is a bit of a puzzle.
Does anyone preserve nine year old newspapers?

This appears to be a plant to justify continued militarisation of the north and east – the armed forces have never had it so good – especially in peacetime.
/
Lanka Watch / April 3, 2016
Justice – CID will solve your puzzle sooner. It is more puzzling that all of a sudden the security forces found arms catche in two or more places at the same time.You may be right in your saying that this could
be a plan to continue occupying N/E under the pretext of security.
Govt. must be in a dilemma as to where to plant thousands of armed forces personnel who are jobless with full pay, as stiff opposition
is growing from people of N/E.to limit the military strength to a required level during peace time as they want free movement in their areas without hindrance. If it was under MR era, he would have said, shut up, it is due to security but this Govt. cannot afford to say that as they practice democracy and rule of law and reconciliation
work is in progress. Rest of the provinces will not accept armed
force personnel in excess of requirement as their presence will
hinder normal activities of the people.
Tamils learnt a bitter lesson and said enough is enough to armed struggle and they will never, ever engage in undemocratic processes
to achieve their goals in the future. There are two options left to
the govt. One is to dismantle the forces and absorb the excess cadre into govt.services or position them at Katchatheevu, which is under threat to occupy by Tamil Nadu as ownership is questioned,they could protect the shores of SL and thwart illegal fishing by poachers,not only by TN fishermen but also by Far East countries like China,Japan
Govt. should be sincere to the Tamils by not playing double game as
Tamils voted this govt. to power.

This issue needs to be investigated. Mahinda,GLPieris Gota and Weravansa they seem to know what others.Therefore it is important that the government has to investigate what these men and find out what they’re saying and what they know. By delaying tactics this government will become the victim .Gota tried to fool the sinhala masses after the war in 2009 with the grease men in the Jaffna.Then three Tamil youths were made scapegoats and were killed using the encounter tactics.Now this new idea should be investigated soon.Is this a continuation of the Sinhala agenda to be able to prevent the Tamils getting equal rights and solving the problem that has been going on for the past 67years.This is also intended to fool the international community?

The Govt.,specially the intelligence services of Govt. security should be complimented for not panicking the people re the findings of war material at Chava. with unnecessary statements, which could have upset the people and induced them to retaliate in some form, as happened in 1983.
It is also encouraging to note that people did not panic over the incident as they know there is peace & harmony among major communities and they are confident that the govt.in power will never again allow
armed uprisings and communal flare ups. The people who panicked were those who wanted to create communal disharmony among the citizens. It is heartening to note that people are now politically educated and do not take law into their own hands.
There are many similar things happening in the country in large scale
like haul of narcotics, weapon hauls from underworld gangs, theft of fish from our seas by foreign poachers, kidney sales, daily murders using modern weapons and so on and the only worry people have is not about safety of the country as a whole but the law and order situation within the country and with the expected swap of ministers, we expect to have a strong man as minister to handle home land security. Last month it was the damage caused to the supply of electricity to the country due to vandalism and this week it is the finding of the weapons
in Chava and as long as the culprits indicted for corruption & political murders are let loose in the country, these incidents are bound to repeat, routinely.

Anything is possible in a country where people fought a brutal civil war for decades. The young Tamils can be used by a third party when security is relaxed.

But puppets of the West will destroy everything by handing over to the white man, we lived through the terror for few decades, because of the Western support through diaspora. How can I support a justice system to please the West, but I am a victim of the West’s injustice? My citizenship was deleted deliberately due my writings about the struggles of Australian aboriginal people, but I was prevented from getting a lawyer to fight my case.

Please explain me one thing, how many times a suicide jacket has to be used to make it looks like old? How do you arrive on a decision like that? Is there the jacket made year is engraved or labelled on the jacket?
The paper looks not used one. But it was printed in 2007. There is chance that the jacket was wrapped in few days ago in an unused newspaper, printed long ago. In the way your bosses printed second Uthayan, if needed, they would print any Newspaper for any date they want and warp the jacket in that. How this is making the jacket new?

Abimanasingham Sitthawatthai Uthayakumar / April 3, 2016
Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse has said that “the suicide jacket along with other explosives found in Chavakachcheri was in fact new”
Who confirmed this and How?
How and from whom did he get this confirmed information?
What could be inferred if it is a new “Suicide Jacket”?
There are TWO possibilities. They are:
1) It was made very recently by “some party” and kept there for propaganda;
2) It was made recently by the Tigers.
What has actually happened?
Is the Jacket recovered a “Suicide Jacket”? What type of “suicide jacket” it is?
What types of materials manufactured in what countries have been used to make these “NEW” “Suicide Jackets” ?
Is it for the use of C 4 – plastic explosives or for other explosives like TNT etc.?
What types of explosives were recovered in what quantities? Are the explosives recovered in excess of that could be used in the Suicide Jackets or not?
If very much in excess, for what they are intended to be used?
What types of accessories for filling the explosives and initiation of explosion were found along with the “Suicide Jackets”?
In what years and by which companies these explosives were manufactured?
If it is a new “Suicide Jacket” why it was wrapped in old Sinhalese newspapers?
If the “Suicide Jacket” is new, how and from where the 2008 news papers were obtained?
From the photographs of the papers, the papers should have been collected from somewhere the stocks of old printed news papers are being kept safely!!
Was it obtained from the Printer of the Sinhala News Paper?
It is said that there were 100 packed 9 mm cartridges. Was there any 9 mm Pistol or Machine Pistol or Sub-machine gun recovered along with explosives and others?
Were the 9 mm Cartridges manufactured by a particular company? What company? When were the cartridges manufactured? Were they not from the stock of cartridges imported for the armed forces?
How Mr. G.L. came to know that these explosives and others were about to be transported to “Wellawatte”in particular ?
So Mr. G.L. insists that these “Suicide Jackets” should have been made in Jaffna or the North!!
Are the materials used to make these “Suicide Jackets” freely available in Jaffna or the North?
If the Suicide Jackets were made in Jaffna and about to be transported to Wellawatte as said by our Legal Expert G.L. why they were wrapped by 2008 Sunhala News Papers?
Anyway there has to be “some connection” with the South!!
Any further information on this from your informants?
So there has to be some arrests in Jaffna and the North!!
Anyway, why the Legal Expert and a Patriot failed to inform about this to the President or the Prime Minister?
Why all these were kept openly in a room that was not even locked?
Yes! I agree with you! A thorough investigation has to be conducted and the citizens of Lanka and the international community should be informed about this matter!!
If an ordinary citizen could raise all these questions, our Investigation Personnel will find out what has actually happened!!

Dear friends!
“In his statement to the CID, Pieris had said it was Dinesh Gunawardena who instructed him on the matter. The ex-minister had said Gunawardena was scheduled to address the UPFA dissidents’ press conference in Colombo last week but at the last moment Pieris was assigned to brief the reporters.
Pieris had told the CID that Gunawardena made him aware of the recovery of explosives, among other things, and that he had no “first-hand information” over the issue.
The ex-minister, in his statement to the CID, had pointed out that opposition MP Wimal Weerawansa too made similar remarks over the recovery of explosives.” http://www.dailynews.lk/?q=2016%2F04%2F04%2Flocal
Then how and from whom Dinesh Ginawardena and Wimal Weeravansa got all the confirmed detail of recovered items?
Why the self declared Patriots of “Sinha LE” did not inform the President and the Prime Minister?

Hi Abimanasigham Sitthawatthai Uthayakumar Thank you for your well thought questionings. I do fully agree with your line of thinking and the argument placed.

However Dinesh Gunawardena as most known as a Sinhala Patriotic Racist! who will stick his neck out without ‘thinking’ its consequences.

If Mahinda and GL Peries is right and the security forces are still under Mahinda I don’t think Mithiri should hand over the power to Mahinda or if Mithiri is still head of Security Forces, immediately Mahinda and GL Peries should be arrested and punished for Lying.

How come news about suicide jackets are being directed towards Mahinda Rajapakse? You have to feel sorry for him, clutching at straws to be taken notice of. He must have been disappointed when the notice came that the jacket was wrapped in a 2007 newspaper. He must be praying for a resurrection of the LTTE, at least to distract the investigators investigating his truckload of crimes during his tenure as President.

Please note that there are 11.1 million pages of Off Shore accounts available from the recent leaks:
It appears that a number of Sri Lankan companies are involved in off-shore investment (where the crooks hide their ill-gotten wealth).
What have you been doing since last evening when this was first published?
Bring back Ben Hurling, he is caught napping once again.

It is better that you keep your trap shut as very soon you and the family may have to suffer the Karmic effects. You should know that if you are supposed to be a Buddhist, frequenting all the stooges temples in the country, but your better quarter will not know the effects as she does not practice Buddhist philosophy, nor do the Children. Lies has no place in Buddhist Philosophy. Dhamaloka a stooge of your is also following you

MR says people should know the truth. Yeah, while he was a tin pot dictator the people who knew the truth were mercilessly murdered by this global pariah. Now he talks of truth. It must be this bastard who planted the suicide jacket and other stuff, whatever else they found. He is trying to incite racial hatred.

“And People Must Know The Truth”
Yes agree and this suicide kit is taken care of. People also have the right to the truth behind the mysterious deaths behind Thajudeen,
Lasantha Wickrematunge, and many others happened during your time and no proper investigations were conducted. People have the right to know how you amassed so much wealth with only the salaries you received being a Parliamentarian and President. The country has gone in to terrible debts when you and your family and friends were allowed a free hand to pilfer national wealth.

It is disconcerting to see how people comment here are blinded by their hatred to MR and miss the point altogether. Of course MR is going to score points on this. That is his prerogative as a politician – to tell I told you so. But the fundamental issue is not whether this is old or not, but it was found in someone’s home. If it was found buried in a jungle somewhere then we could have dismissed it as an old tiger relic. If this person was not intending to use it, why would he have it in his home? Why did he not hand it over to the police? These are the questions that should be answered, but it typical Sri Lankan fashion we seem to be contend with just shooting the messenger and ignore the message.

No doubt MR knew in advance that the days of his private army was numbered. Hence all this drama about discovering a suicide bomber’s vest, and GLP’s declaration that he knew that the jacket was destined to Wellawatte, presumably implying targeting MR. How did he know unless he crated the storySo it proves that all that is a creative mischief. Shame on you MR and GLP, what cheap nonsense
