By Colombo Telegraph –
Yesterday soon after the UNHRC voting took place two jeeps with police officers have come to my residence to arrest me, on informing that I was not available they came to my office. By that time I came out of office and was staying outside up to now, says the Muslim Tamil National Alliance leader Azath Salley.
Azath Salley
Sending an email to Colombo Telegraph he said; “We sent three lawyers to C C D to check, they informed that the President’s adviser on religious affairs, has made a complaint that I scolded the president and intimidated him. If that is the case they should have logged the case at the Cinnamon Garden police station and referred it to the mediation board for settlement but, the information I have got is that five teams have been deployed for my arrest with some reason.”
The Muslim Tamil National Alliance, led by Azath Salley, urged the UN to draw the attention of the Government of Sri Lanka to international standards relevant to the protection and promotion of the rights of minorities.
The letter sent to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, had said that radical members of the Buddhist clergy were taking the law into their hands, with the enforcers of the law watching from the sidelines.
“After the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam, the Muslims of Sri Lanka have been looking at every opportunity to bring about national unity at a time when the country is in transition. We fail to understand the failure of the government of Sri Lanka in arresting the current trend which if left to go its course ,would spell disaster for the country we call our home,” the letter said.

Just because some one is telling the truth which SS does not like does not mean he is a Rogue. As we have seen in numerous occasions this type of intimidations have been carried out. Even if he has scolded the President, the President has to file a case. This is the correct procedure. Justice should prevail.

In Sri Lanka the opposite is always true. So is your statement.

What a big issue about insulting the president. Five teams deployed whereas there are so many cases pending with no progress whatsoever. The holy cow of the regime.

There is only one god. You know who he is. Don`t insult him. If you get caught you are at the risk of being driven to hell in a white wagon.

Another example that Sri Lanka is not a democracy any more and does not have a fair legal system or a properly functioning police force.

Ajith / March 22, 2013
It is exactly the same reason for that UNHRC resolution is needed.

Alex / March 22, 2013
what is the big this Sri Lankan president got other than nepotism, racism and curruption. Critising the president is a right of evry citizen.Americans and Canadians critisise their presidents, this we call democratic way. Is Rjapakshe is biger than Obama? who gave him human right lesson to learn.

Aney Apochchi! / March 23, 2013
Surprise! Surprise! This wouldn’t by any chance be the genius who complained to the police about Frederica Jansz criticizing the President and wanted her arrested, would it?
Of course when that failed, they made sure she and her children had to seek political asylum overseas to escape death!
Seems like that man has got time left over after helping promote the oldest profession known to mankind to do this kind of thing.
This must be a part of the Sinhala Buddhist Philosophy that nobody told some of us about!

Azad’s sin is thath he dared speaking truth against tyrants. This country is gone into dictatorship, but with complete democracy packing so that no one should oppose from international side.

Kamil, unfortunately this relative of Buddha, according to that crank, Jacko’s cousin Crakson Anthony, what would he have done to Dewadatte? Sri Lanka is no more a Paradise but Hell on earth.

Not only Devadatta, his father is also immortalised by the Jackass Anthony – the “Superbuddha”, who hated our great “Superhero” to the bone.

It is allowed to insult belives/religions but not to insult president.

Rahula dont worry. May the rotten ones smell bad….
“There are these two extremes that are not to be indulged in by one who has gone forth. Which two? That which is devoted to sensual pleasure with reference to sensual objects: base, vulgar, common, ignoble, unprofitable; and that which is devoted to self-affliction: painful, ignoble, unprofitable.”

Country’s President and Gota are using Badu Sena and Chimpanchi Ranavaka’s Jathiyata Kela urumaya and Rawaya Bas…tards to Instigate violance to get their Sinhala Racist Political Adjanda.
By creating animosity between majority Sinhala Buddhists against other minority religious groups and Races Fuc…g cunning Rajapakses trying to win Sinhala Buddhist masses towards their political gain.
Also Knowing that UNHRC is coming behind them as war criminals due to HR violations against Nothern Tamil civilians, Rajapakses are hoping to hide behind these Sinhala Buddhist extremist Groups to get cover from UN charges and possible arrest.
This the MARApakse’s Game Plan to survive during a UN verdict.

In the western world, the press ‘take the mikey’ of its leaders and shown on TV. In Sri Lankam, one is unable to even insult its leaders private!

If you have a Sinhala name like Rajapakse you can start Milking in Srilanka. If you are a minority in Srilanka you can’t get anything done without a bribe. Go and see outside the government institutions the way the minorities are struggling . The way things are turning out there will be another revolution. It is okay for some ,they have made their bucks and they can afford to say Adios ,What about the POOR people who are taken for A RIDE.

I thought – people have just started hating the name Rajapkshe, just looking at the manner of crime investigations are handled today. Most known has been the realease of Duminda Silva a couple of days back now.
