Shame..! Mahinda urges Maithri to halt Prageeth murder investigation ; Gota intimidates IGP ; Basnayake even goes beyond..!!

(Lanka-e-News 27.Aug.2015, 6.00 AM)  The deposed discarded ex president Mahinda Rajapakse universally known for his brutal and lawless traits has most unashamedly and unlawfully requested the incumbent president Maithripala Sirisena to stop the on going investigations into the abduction and ruthless cold blooded murder of Lanka e news journalist Prageeth Ekneliyagoda , based on reports reaching Lanka e news. President Maithripala has brushed aside the request with the contempt it deserved, it is reported.

Following the elections , Mahinda has met president Maithripala and made one request – that is to halt  the Ekneliyagoda murder investigation . It is now very clear that Mahinda (who was behind these crimes) is in mortal fear that he,  and Gotabaya who gave orders  would be exposed, following  the recent arrest and detention of the army officers in this connection. Hence Mahinda   had sought to instigate Maithripala  to make this most despicable deplorable step  and halt the investigation. 

Even after president Maithripala has duly rejected this request , it is reported that the present defense secretary B.M.U.D. Basnayake another  shameless lickspittle and lackey of the criminal  Rajapakses is making sly and illegal moves to rescue and safeguard the ruthless brutal Rajapakses , it is learnt.

Basnayake reluctant to sign D.O.

Believe it or not , the defense secretary Basnayake even at this moment has not signed the order to grant permission to the CID to continue with the detention of the four army officers (suspects) namely ,Lieutenant Colonels Shammi Kumararatne and Siriwardena, staff sergeant Rajapakse and Corporal in charge Jayalath  of the Giritale camp at that time  , who abducted and murdered Ekneliyagoda. Mind you ,while it is the defense secretary of the country who should take the initiative in these investigations , it is a cruel irony  Basnayake our own defense secretary is acting like an accomplice in the crimes trying to save the culprits .

It is to be noted with concern that if the detention order is not extended in respect of the four suspects who were arrested on the 24 th , it will eventuate in   the release of the culprits without completing the questioning.  

Ordinarily under the laws, a suspect can be detained only for 72 hours .Thereafter he must be produced before a court. But as these suspects are army officers involved in conspiracy , abduction , torture and murder of citizens of the country , and those offences   fall into the category of heinous crimes , and as giving authority to  acts of terrorism , these suspects can be held in custody for 90 days , and investigated under the Prevention of Terrorism Act  (PTA). This in other words is to enable the investigators to track down the masterminds at the bottom and behind these conspiracies and crimes.

Basnayake profusely lies

Basnayake instead of performing his duties duly as a defense secretary , has acted like an accomplice in these crimes by going out of the way to justify the criminal actions while  uttering all the sinister lies .To a prominent journalist who questioned him yesterday (26) evening on this , Basnayake uttered a blatant  lie brazenly that he is being pressurized . When he was asked who that was , he said, a patriotic party leader linked to the UNF and a former powerful minister gave three calls to him and urged him to get the army suspects released . But when Lanka e news delved into this , it was discovered it is  another stinking  lie turned out from Basnayake’s  lie factory .

Not only president Maithripala , even the army commander revealed openly at a media briefing yesterday (their secret moves to the contrary notwithstanding ) that the army ought not hamper the Ekneliyagoda murder investigation, and  because the investigations are  under way , nothing further can be disclosed.

According to reports reaching Lanka e news, the attorney general (AG) too  in his recommendations to Basnayake has said , the suspects can be detained under the PTA.

In the circumstances , Basnayake must without playing the role of an anti  national villain and culprit must reveal to the people why he is holding back without signing the detention order. If Basnayake who secured his appointment from a government that won by marching proudly  over the dead bodies of Ekneliyagoda and countless many law abiding citizens is still trying his sordid pranks to camouflage the Ekneliyagoda murder ,it is doubtless he is provoking the entire nation and uniting the people  against him . The people no longer want  a Basnayake who commits  the same evils what Gota indulged in.

It is an indisputable fact that the present defense secretary was from the beginning acting overtly and covertly  for and on behalf of  the murderous and criminal Rajapakses who using brutal powers kept the people trampled under their oppressive and repressive barbaric reign. 

When this present defense secretary made a statement to exonerate  ex defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse of charges against him of holding back many millions of rupees of the treasury that are due to the treasury , even  a former president of the country Chandrika Bandaranaike  said in  public , Basnayake is not suitable for the post , and is a one sided pro Rajapakse regime shameless  bootlicking official .

CaFFE and ‘Web Gode father’ concoct misleading theories.

Gotabaya Rajapkse who earned colossal sums of money through illegal channels , is now spending recklessly and prodigally to repel  any accusations that could mount on him.  He has parted with large sums of money to portray a wrong picture in regard to the Ekneliyagoda murder and misdirect  the investigations . Here is one example.

The solitary Director of the so called CaFFE election monitoring organization issued a media communiqué which was not at all relevant to the elections monitoring. He pointed out the draconian laws under the PTA  should be invalidated. This sudden announcement  absolutely unrelated to election monitoring which is out of point and out of place was made to give  unethical publicity and a base  to prevent the suspects from being questioned after obtaining a detention order. Obviously this publicity and its intensity are commensurate with the massive kickbacks collected . 

The unscrupulous web Gode father that is run on the funds provided by Gotabaya , is also deeply in his toils to enlist 4 -5 more websites and prove that the  brutal cold blooded murder of Ekneliyagoda is justifiable , and that he was associated with the LTTE.

Meanwhile Gotabaya who telephoned the IGP this noon had spoken for more than half an hour to accomplish his  fell foul designs . Gotabaya has forced the IGP to stop the Ekneliyagoda murder inquiry by the CID forthwith .

Black coated shark 

Lieutenant Colonel Shammi Kumararatne involved in the Ekneliyagoda murder has sought the legal  assistance of a popular lawyer who is a UNP provincial council member .The other Lieutenant Colonel Siriwardena  has sought legal  assistance of another popular  lawyer of the national list of the JVP.

We wish to request these two lawyers , no matter the millions offered as fees , pleased do not sacrifice your self respect and dignity at the altar of filthy lucre by appearing on behalf of these cold blooded ruthless murderers who profusely lied , abducted and brutally murdered journalist and  intellectual Prageeth Ekneliyagoda , a father of two innocent children . After all , as a human being , among other traits  what makes you different from an animal and a black coated shark (nickname for lawyers) is your ability to place yourself in the  shoes of the victim and show sympathy towards the family and children  who are rendered destitute owing to these heartless criminals. Otherwise , Lanka  e news is in the ready to highlight the difference between your soothing words and your wrongful  deeds.
