Gnanasara orders Mangala’s arrest!

Friday, 27 June 2014 

Bodu Bala Sena general secretary Galagodaatte Gnanasara, who has become an ‘unofficial police’ himself to order arrests and bailouts and stage kidnappings, has ordered police to arrest Matara district MP, former foreign affairs minister Mangala Samaraweera, internal sources at the police say.

It is an open secret to all that Galagodaatte Gnanasara is also behind the remanding of Watareka Vijitha Thera until July 02 by the Panadura magistrate following his arrest on a charge of lodging a false complaint to police. BBS has promised MP Namal Rajapaksa not to issue any statement regarding the night car races to be held at this weekend near Dalada Maligawa in Kandy.

In its plan to implement Gnanasara’s order, the Stat Intelligence Service got a retired officer of the Air Force to lodge a complaint to Mirihana police yesterday (26), seeking MP Samaraweera’s arrest over his having violated the state secrets act by exposing the identities of the SIS officers at a media briefing. Accordingly, MP Samaraweera is most likely to be arrested today, a Friday, and remanded tomorrow.
