The president has listened to a telephone conversation between minister Nimal Siripala de Silva and MP Thilanga Sumathipala, in which the two had strongly criticized the president, Nandasena Gotabhaya and MP Namal Rajapaksa, the audio tape of which was given to the president by DIG Chandra Nimal Wagista, the head of the State Intelligence Service.

Losing his temper after listening to the audio tape, the president has ordered Wagista to submit a report of persons with whom Nimal Siripala de Silva and Thilanga Sumathipala are having dealings, and also to find out whether the duo are having any connections with former president Chandrika Kumaratunga.

Accordingly, the SIS chief yesterday (07) handed over a report to the president that claims the two are having close links with Maithirpala Sirisena, Susil Premajayantha, A.H.M. Fowzie, Janaka Bandara Tennakoon, Duminda Dissanayake, John Seneviratne, Mervyn Silva, Piyasena Gamage, former prime minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayake and his son Vidura Wickramanayake.

Also, DIG Wagista says in the report that opposition MPs Karu Jayasuriya and Mangala Samaraweera are having connections with those ministers through their associates.

Meanwhile, the president has ordered the SIS chief to cover the duties of senior DIG Anura Senanayake, who has been sent to South Korea by defence secretary Nandasena Gotabhaya, who has the Urban Development Authority under him, to follow a crash course on urban planning. Once he retires from the Police Department, Anura Senanayake is due to be appointed chairman of the UDA.

Former director general of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalle has taken oaths as a diplomat, reports say.

He will be deployed to cover Fiji, Tasmania and several other countries.
