Proving Sirisena’s attempts to whitewash himself of his direct culpability in Easter attacks IGP Pujith Jayasundara – who has been sent on compulsory leave – in his Fundamental Rights petition has revealed the Police was instructed on April 08, 2018 to stop investigating into extremist Muslim groups.
IGP Jayasundara
Content of Jayasundara’s FR petition filed a few days ago, note the State Intelligence Service (SIS) in a letter, specifically instructed the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) to suspend all investigations into extremist Muslim factions linked with international terrorist organisations.
He particularly mentions in petition that an investigation was open into the activities of the National Thawheed Jamath but the TID was instructed on April 8th, 2018 to suspend inquiries, as ‘such investigations caused prejudice to the secret investigations being carried out by the SIS.”
Pujith Jayasundara further states that the President excluded him from attending National Security Council meetings from early October 2018, until after the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks on April 21.
IGP claims that the President required SIS Director Nilantha Jayawardana to report directly to him.
Jayasundara filed his FR petition last week, challenging Sirisena’s decision to send him on Compulsory Leave following Easter attacks and growing criticism of the government’s lackadaisical approach to matters of national security.
In his petition, Jayasundara names the Attorney General (AG), Acting IGP C.D. Wickramaratne, Members of the Constitutional Council (CC), Director SIS Nilantha Jayawardena, Chief of National Intelligence (CNI) Sisira Mendis and former Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando as respondents.

It’s quite clear that sirisena protected saharan and other murderers by stopping the probe and by putting CID chief behind bars on false allegation Jamal kumara is a setup by sirisena. What happened to the voice recordings and madush all are bogus sirisena should be arrested for aiding the murder of more than 250 innocent citizen. From where did sirisena get the money for his campaign?

Thanks.
Sirisena is a Traitor, Sevalaya (sleaze), Pachaya(liar) , Mala-Perethaya(living off the dead) etc.
What else do you expect from Sirisena?
Why is the Parliament not impeaching him?
Is Sirisena a Secret Member of the National Tauheed Jamat, the Sinhala Buddhist Version?

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / June 3, 2019
Slowly truth is coming out. It is a totally irresponsible and unacceptable conduct of IGP not to have brought the action of Sirisena to prevent arrests of terrorists to other high officials. At least he could have leaked it to one of the papers, and they would have gone to town cornering Sirisena. From the beginning I have been saying that Sirisena had a hand in this carnage. Both Bathurdeen and Hisbiullah are his links to the Muslim terrorists. He does not want them arrested leave alone interrogated because one or both of them are going to spill the beans. During Mahinda’s rule Muslim terrorists were paid from defense ministry funds and encouraged to attack Tamils in north and east. Even this government turned a blind eye to the complains by Tamils about the harassment by these terrorists. Sirisena wanted to make use of the terrorists through Bathurdeen and Hisbullah for his political agenda. He wanted this attack on churches and tourist hotels to take place, so that he can declare emergency, dissolve parliament and postpone elections to continue his term. He okayed the plan and went to India on a false pretext to feign innocence. Initial plan was to attack churches and hotels in the east so that the dead will be Tamils and foreigners, but unfortunately for Sirisena, those terrorists had their own program and bombed Colombo killing Sinhala Christians and three policemen and damaging prominent hotels. This turn of events has cornered Sirisena, who is coming out with lies to feign ignorance of the plot and is trying to wriggle out of the situation finding scapegoats like IGP. The resolve ordinary Sinhala population is not allowing him to rest in peace.

Hell, Heaven, Purgatory and Rebirths are all for suckers like you, who buy into Crusaders, offer indulgences etc. getting favors to get to non existing heavens.
Terrorists, irrespective of their Para-Ethinicities are Terrorists. FYI the Para-terrorists in the Land of Native Veddah Aethho, in chronological order were:
1. Para-Sinhala
2. Para-Tamils
3. Para-Sinhala Para-Buddhists
4. Para-Muslims
5. Para-Portuguese
6.Para-Dutch
7. Para-English
6. Para-Indians
8. Para-Wahhabies
Since independence in 1948, it was the terrorism of the Para-Sinhala Para-Buddhists, who included the Para-Tamil Terrorism, and the Para- Wahhabi Terrorism.
The curse of the Paras in the land of Native Veddah Aethho.

One German lady who worked for European intelligent agency told me “if Sri lanka had a one intelligent agency, Sri lanka could have located all terrorists who have been operating under various names including those who are western(supporters) citizens.
She said, US is the biggest mystery, and they are going to miss the game with China.
Economic impact will be heavy on all Western countries in a case of a war because cold weather. Almost all tropical countries can survive economic impact of war. However, consequences for city lives will be devastating regardless of cold or hot climate.
Cities people are totally depending on electricity and live on concrete where as village people and single homes owners have access to ground water, fire wood, and many naturally grown food.

Amarasiri,
May be you are a descendant of slaves brought from Malabar by Portuguese and Dutch who does not know the history of Sinhale. Para Demalu started terrorizing native Sinhalayo around 3rd century BC. They invaded Sinhale, killed millions of Sinhalayo and destroyed Sinhala Kingdoms Anuradhapura and Pollonnaruwa forcing Native Sinhalayo to leave that area.
—
This is an excerpt from a speech given by President Chandrika Kumaratunge
“On the other hand, I dare say, that there are reasons to justify the fears of the Sinhala. History records that ancient Lanka was invaded 52 times in 14 centuries by South Indian rulers, and was conquered and ruled by a few times. This may be sufficient to sow fear in the common conscience of the Sinhala people.”
Pre-requisite for peace, stability and prosperity in a democratic and pluralist state-by Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. If you want the source go to dbsjeyaraj dot com/archives/2000.

Native Veddah Aethho have got fed up with all the Para people and their religions brought over from India, Jerusalem, Saudi Arabia, etc., since these Para people are fighting each other all the time over religion and ethnicity.
Top man Maha Hura Vedda says “Leave immediately and take your religions with you. We do not need you anymore. “!

The biggest question is why MY 3 keep denying him being informed of the Indian tip amidst the strong likely-hood that Nilantha Jayawrdena briefed him on the very day the tip came in ! The most likely answer to this very important question is the possibility that MY 3 is confident about not having any paper trail to challenge his denial. I think that he concocted his lie only after receiving the assurance from Nilatha for not having documentary evidences. But, what if, as I suggested earlier, MY 3 gave instructions to report to him after an investigation? In that case, it is very likely that Nilanathe gave instruction in writing to his subordinates. It is the job of the committee to find this out.

It is true that he has links with ISIs that is why he is not removing the two Mulsim governors and the Minister
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / June 3, 2019
When there is a spineless fellow who has no leadership qualities how can you impeach despite there being ample reasons to do so. If there be any competent person at the helm, by now Sirisena will be mercifully at home. Just imagine if Mahinda or Gota had been the PM, Sirisena would have been six feet under. How can Sirisena take action against Bathurdeen or Hisbullah, when they were his links to the terrorists. This is a deliberate act to make Sinhalese to get angry and put the country into flames.

It was wrong for the SIS to stop the police from doing their job.The SIS officer who issued that order should be sacked.The IGP should not be reinstated until he gives a valid explanation as to why he did not take action when indian intelligence informed of a imminent attack on churches.Was it because he did not take it seriously enough or was it because he was asked to keep out of it by the SIS.

So this further confirm that sorisena was the possible mastermind behind easter sunday attack. he pre planned it since that day he inform to drop investigation about extremist groups. I guess kurunegala incident too was well planned by sorisena. This is why in both cases he went abroad. Even yoy can see the rathana, tami mp who are carrying on upawasa are his own henchman.
Other parties should come forward probably arrest that mental case responsible for killing innocent civilians

Again cat has been let out of the bag by Mahinda. They not only funded the terrorists but also had planted men in the outfit. After IPKF left, Pakistan intelligence agency were active among Muslims in the east promoting hatred and driving a wedge between Muslims and Tamils. Successive governments turned a blind eye to this as it suited their agenda of putting Muslims against Tamils. It will not be a surprise if after investigations it will be found that Mahinda and Gota had a hand in this carnage as they had direct links with the terrorists. This is why the terrorists were controlled in not attacking Buddhist temples. Even now Mahinda and Gota have not only not condemned it, but also not spoken against Bathurdeen and Hisbullah who were their lap dogs in doing dirty jobs for them.

Here goes the dirty blame-game! –What’s happening in Sri Lanka currently is madness all round. It again manifests the pathetic and tragic state of Sri Lankan politics. The execution on the scale of the destruction would have needed years of planning and preparation; for politicians, and security intelligent services to feign ignorance is a mammoth lie and a cruel deception. It would have been encouraged by certain Muslim leaders and ignored by other Sinhalese leaders –all for money and political expediency. The answer as to who the culprits could be can easily be deciphered if one asks the question: Who stands to benefit by these heinous acts?. To them, these are cheap lives that are expendable for their game. And Sri Lanka is destabilised, economy in ruins, political bickering and chauvinism is rampant and the rule of military over civilians have been entrenched.
For people whose only choice they have is to choose between the demonic Rajapaksas, stupid Srisena and the weak and inept Ranil—it must really be a moral dilemma. I am glad I don’t have to vote.

The name of this country is ‘DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA’
A Republic is “A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.”
The Constitution of Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka says “In the Republic of Sri Lanka sovereignty is in the People and is inalienable. Sovereignty includes the powers of government, fundamental rights and the franchise.’
The representatives who are elected by people have to carry out the wishes of people and not what they want. Is that happening in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka? People want to see the politician and the Governors who are facing a barrage of charges for their role in the terrorist attack but it looks like the MPs of UNP want to protect them instead of getting rid of them to face investigations.

This “FR” petition is yet another joke. From the day one of this IGP assumed duties, his actions in that capacity were most condemnable than commendable. To say the least he was a puppet in the hands of the politicians. Just one reminder: “Yes Sir, Yes Sir” “I will not allow that”; “Yes Sir I will get the file”. In that conversation, he even forgot or did not realize that all that would be heard and also recorded and go viral in social media with abundantly available modern technologies. Just imagine such a “Fool” being the IGP of a country. Not on this occasion, he should have been sent home very much earlier were it not for the protection and cover up by the political leadership. Now he fights his “Suspension”. Even on this matter he is pleading for “RIGHTS”, he should not be either “PARDONED” or granted any “RELIEF”, but on contrary, he should be made “ANSWERABLE” for “NEGLECT”; “FAILURE” and “IRRESPONSIBILITY” in manner of discharge of his duties to SERVE and PROTECT the people of the country. Hope the courts will look at this “FR” in a wider perspective of maintaining “SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS” than “INDIVIDUAL RIGHT” of those holding PUBLIC OFFICE.

That is why rishad Bathiuddin, Hisbullah, and Azath Salley are very important people.

Why did My3 ban taking action in April 2019 even when they knew the attack was coming on.
PArliamentary Select Committee aka PSC is also another FRAUD to give all the Intelligence Information out. for some reason, Rishad Bathiuddin, Hisbulla and Azath Salley are being protected by their MANAGER.. Even Hakeem might know who asked him to go to GENEVA. Why Rishad Bathiuddin and Hakeem from time to time had to go to Europe for vacations.
