Govt. M .P. sells formalin /urea mixed toxic kasippu as ‘Hingurana arrack’- MaRa gets 300 million as kickback

(Lanka-e-News -30.Oct.2012, 11.00PM) Matale district UPFA

(Govt) M.P. Lakshman Vasantha Perera is carrying on a massive official kasippu business using formalin (used for preservation of dead bodies) and urea in his kasippu preparation. In order to carry on this illegal killer business he is paying a sum of Rs. 300 million per month as under the counter payment to MaRa, the chief of the regime , according to reports reaching Lanka e news.

An officer of this Kasippu Industry of Vasantha Perera M.P at Hingurana in the Dompe district speaking to Lanka e news said, the so called ‘ Hingurana arrack’ sold Island wide is nothing but a product of the toxic formalin and urea used in its preparation. He pointed out that if a raid is conducted now, the large quantity of urea that is in the store ready for use in the manufacture can be seized.

It was the formalin worth Rs. 2000 million intended for Lakshman Perera’s kasippu distillery that was seized by the Customs on the 26th of September. Later however this formalin had been secured release after a payment of a fine of Rs. 300 lakhs on the intervention and instructions of MaRa.

This Lakshman Perera the henchman of MaRa who is engaged in this gigantic illegal business of selling Kasippu as Hingurana arrack , ought to pay a sum of Rs. 800 million per month as excise tax to the Excise Dept . and the income tax Dept. , but he avoids that payment , by making a payment of Rs. 300 million instead as a kickback to MaRa, about which under the counter payment to MaRa , Lakshman Perera loudly and proudly boasts. The latter has now completely captured the eastern and northern provonce division markets with his kasippu supplies. In some districts , where Lakshman Perera has bought over the Wine stores , he is exclusively selling the Hingurana toxic kasippu.

Though this poisonous kasippu business racket is being carried on in a gigantic scale and without let or hindrance openly, neither the Excise Dept. nor the Inland revenue Dept. that is well aware of this is able to do anything because these Depts. are under the purview of MaRa. By not allowing these Depts. to discharge their duties duly and collect taxes, and instead MaRa receiving kickbacks to the tune of Rs. 300 million monthly from the kasippu dealer, it is a clear index MaRa is playing the role of an underworld extortionist Kingpin.

While the ordinary people consuming the so called ‘Hingurana Kasippu’ that is poisonous formalin and urea adulterated are fast gravitating towards the grave , the Rathane sadhu , Bodhu Bala Sena members and the Mahanayake Theros who mount roof tops to make their sermons heard against ‘mathata thitha’, do not care even to show the least concern over this ‘mathata thitha’ being transformed into ‘thiththata matha’ and a ‘makadi atha’ under their very spouting mouths and noses . Apparently , it is their tenet (not true Buddhist tenets) that as long as kickbacks are received by those at the top places in the secular or religious spheres no matter what evils are practiced ,and Buddhist preaching can be compromised.
