Citizens’ Organizations’ Collection (COC) called for a press conference held at CSR in Colombo on Mar. 02, 2017 and expressed their oppose against the joint oppositions’ campaign on promoting former powerful defense secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse.

Addressing the media Left Centre Co-convener Chameera Perera said that former government (Rajapakse regime) was responsible for the underworld as they patronage selected thugs for their own purpose such as Kotahena chaminda who shot Baratha Lakshman Premechandra

“Welikada massacre was the best example for that. The report on Welikada massacre mentioned all details about the massacre. Military cannot enter to the prison with weapons. But it has happened. If so, it was some kind of underworld attack. During that attack prisoner were called by their name and killed according to the media sources. Who gave the order to military to enter to the prison and kill prisoner? During that period Gotabha was the defense secretary and he should responsible for the attack. Did he do any punish the culprits?”

Perera recalled the attacks on media institutes and media personnel which were happened under the Rajapake regime.

“Some of Army intelligence officers have been arrested for attacks on journalists Keith Noyahr, Lasantha Wickramatunga and Prageeth Ekneligoda. Who gave the orders to them? As the defense secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse was responsible for the attack. Social media sources reported that Gotabhaya has been directly involved for the Keith Noyahr assault.

Joint opposition misinterpreted the incident at Kalutara Prision.
We are not defending the present government. Government is responsible for this unpleasant incident since they failed to provide the proper protection. But we are defending the January 8th peoples’ mandate,”
