Intelligence on alert due to attempt to incite monks, military!

Mar 28, 2016
Information has come to light about a conspiracy to destabilize the country by inciting racial and religious hatred among Buddhist monks and members of the armed forces to sabotage reconciliation and good governance of the present administration, say police department sources. Already, heads of the military have placed intelligence units on alert.

A faction of the joint opposition led by Mahinda Rajapaksa is plotting this plan. Its ‘Viyathunge Handa’ is in charge of executing the conspiracy. In addition, certain military officers close to the former Rajapaksa regime have joined them.
They will get disabled soldiers to hold a first of a series of protests against a curtailment of their allowances and demand continued payment until their retirement, and privileges for their dependents. The plotters will also spread falsehoods in the military and their families the government was going to divide the country. Protests will also take place to demand freedom for the armed forces members in custody over criminal charges.
This opposition faction is already using the enforcement of the law against monks who incite racism and religious extremism to spread falsehoods that the government was going to destroy the Sinhala Buddhist country by acting against monks. It has been revealed that it was part of this conspiracy that Uduwe Dhammaloka Thera, accused over an elephant racket, has accused the government over the death of Ven. Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera, that he had been murdered. Elle Gunawansa, Muruttettuwe Ananda and several other monks are involved in this.
In view of this situation, a top government authority has instructed the police department to suspend the arrests of monks and soldiers temporarily, say department sources. Therefore, the government is in danger of giving into whatever request of soldiers and monks in the face of these racist and religious extremist attack.
