Dear Sir,<\/p>\n

It is no more a secret now your involvement in politics on behalf of President Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/span><\/a> (MR) whilst serving as the army commander. While I understand your plight should a new government comes to power, in the best interests of my country and my countrymen, I decided to write to you and to create a sense of awareness among the public of an impending human catastrophe should you continue to operate beyond acceptable norms.<\/p>\n

Browsing through the SL army\u2019s webpage<\/span><\/a>, I couldn\u2019t help but notice you spending more time in conference and seminar rooms than you actually had spent in the battlefield. Assuming you have a conscience to uphold the rule of law, thought it would also be timely to remind you of your recent \u2018errors in judgment\u2019 and hope you would respond to the following observations,<\/p>\n

1 – Your failure to implicate or investigate Mr. Gotabaya Rajapaksa<\/span><\/a> and Mr. Basil Rajapaksa<\/span><\/a> for their involvement in giving Rs. 700 million to the LTTE in 2005 as alleged by the late Sripathy Sooriyarachi;<\/p>\n
