Pivithuru (pure) turns impure – presidential advisor Athureliye Rathane thero's secretary arrested with drugs !

(Lanka-e-News -28.June.2015, 7.00PM) The secretary to parliamentary affairs of former M.P. Ven. Athureliya Rathane Thera ,who is also  the  Pivithuru Hetak organization leader cum presidential advisor, along with constable Weerakody of the intelligence unit (CIU ) of the CID and four others were arrested yesterday early morning (27) on charges of  possession of the drug ‘ecstasy’ more dangerous than heroin!  The JHU which talks most loudly  against drugs  obviously is moving heaven and earth to suppress this incident.

Rathana thero's secretary's name is Nalinda Lakshan

The drug ‘ecstasy’ is more dangerous than heroin. The raid was conducted by a team of officers along with Sandalal Pathirane  , the OIC of the Excise department anti narcotics division . As soon as it came to  light that Ven Athureliye Rathane is also linked, the corrupt IP Rangajeewa of the police  anti narcotics division is making every effort to suppress his involvement.

The reasons prompting  these traitorous moves are given  below:

IP Rangajeewa is a most corrupt officer , an associate of Ven. Rathana Thera ,attached to the police narcotics division for the last nearly 15 years . Even after he was incriminated in the case of drug baron Wele Sudha  who is now in custody, where the latter via a confession stated he had given monies to this corrupt and venal IP, yet all these criminal involvements were  concealed.

Recently , when another group of officers arrested an individual with drugs in their possession at Rajagiriya . during investigations  it was revealed that he is an uncle of IP Rangajeewa. The latter went raving mad against the SI Lionel who took into custody Rangajeewa’s uncle. Later , in order to clear his own name ,what Rangajeewa did was seizing 3 kilos of heroin on the 15 th of this month. Since he his having close dealings with the heroin peddlers , enacting dramas like this is simple. At any time he can organize a quantity of heroin , and take that into custody. 

However , at no stage did he take anybody into custody when enacting these dramas. The 3 kilos heroin drama was also one such example. It is specially noteworthy Rangajeewa did this raid after 2013.Thereafter , Rangajeewa through Athurelya Thera and Champika Ranawake of the JHU made a huge publicity din using Maharaja’s Sirasa media . Those who viewed the Sirasa during that time will clearly understand this.

Previously, in March  when 5 kilos of heroin were seized at Thoduwawe , and 8 1/ 2 kilos were seized again at Thoduwawe , such huge publicity was not given. It is therefore very evident , Athureliya Thera and Champika ensured immense publicity is given even when an insignificant quantity of heroin was seized only when they had motive  to protect the drug peddlers under their wings.

By now, the narcotics division raiding units one and two  have been closed  , and all raids have been brought under the purview of Rangajeewa who knows how to play his cards deceptively to achieve his vile and heroin goals. Consequently , the heroin raids have now weakened.

Kamal Silva , the Director anti narcotics bureau , another corruption prone officer is providing all the necessary support in this vicious  direction. When an ASP  got ready  to conduct a raid in Galle , Kamal Silva halted him by saying’ are you trying to go on this raid to get shot?’ The ASP  has replied’ Sir , I am one who had clashed with LTTE cadres. Won’t our weapons fire ?’ , and in disgust crushed the file relating to the raid that was  in his hand and thrown it away. He had then abandoned the raid and gone away.

This caliber of corrupt and most venal officers like those obstructing the Galle raid who are  now hell bent on saving the drug peddling secretary in charge of parliamentary affairs  of Rathane Thera , though the latter parades as a ‘great hero’   crusading against heroin dealers.
