(Lanka-e-News -05.March.2024, 10.00 PM) In a startling revelation, the Sri Lankan Police Inspector General has uncovered a clandestine operation orchestrated by the Indian Intelligence Agency - RAW, aiming to unleash bomb blasts in the heart of Colombo and the southern region of Sri Lanka. The intelligence report, forwarded to Defence Secretary Retired Major General Kamal Gunarathne, exposes a chilling collaboration between Indian intelligence and local figures, including the former Chief Minister of the Eastern province, Sivanesaturai Chandrakanthan, popularly known as Pillayan.
The implications of this revelation are grave, raising serious questions about the integrity of Sri Lanka's national security apparatus and its relationship with neighboring countries. At the center of the alleged plot is Pillayan, who stands accused of orchestrating not only the planned bomb blasts but also a series of attacks on parliamentary houses with the intention of implicating supporters of the National People's Power (NPP), a political party in Sri Lanka.
What is particularly concerning is the claim that despite being alerted to these nefarious plans by the police intelligence, the Defence Secretary chose to disregard the information and attempted to cover up the success of the police investigation. Such actions, if proven true, represent a blatant disregard for the safety and security of the nation and its citizens.
Furthermore, disturbing revelations have emerged regarding Pillayan's ties to high-ranking officials within the Sri Lankan government. Reports suggest meetings between Pillayan and the then-Defence Secretary, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, revolving around the formation of a paramilitary death squad ominously named 'The Tripoli Platoon.' These revelations hint at a deeper nexus of collusion between state actors and alleged terrorist elements, raising troubling questions about the government's complicity in such activities.
Of particular concern is Pillayan's alleged involvement in the Easter Sunday attacks that rocked Sri Lanka in 2019. Reports indicate that he played a pivotal role in masterminding the bombings, with the aim of influencing the presidential elections in favor of Gotabaya Rajapaksa. It is believed that Indian intelligence operatives, including one Sarah Jasmine, facilitated Pillayan's plans by connecting him with key figures involved in the Easter Sunday attacks, such as Sahran Hashim.
As the layers of this complex web of intrigue continue to unravel, allegations of state-sponsored terrorism have cast a dark shadow over the Sri Lankan government. Retired police commander Ravi Sevirathna has brought new evidence to light, suggesting possible collusion between the former government and terrorist groups for political gain, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, including Australian nationals, in the Easter Sunday bombings.
Amidst these troubling revelations, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, the head of the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka, has issued a fervent plea for international assistance. He calls upon the global community to exert pressure for an independent investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks, emphasizing the need to uncover the truth behind the senseless violence that claimed the lives of 270 individuals. Cardinal Ranjith's impassioned appeal underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for accountability and justice.
In the wake of these revelations, the leader of the National People's Power (NPP), in an exclusive interview with this publication, has raised alarming questions regarding the government's response to the uncovered intelligence. He demands transparency and accountability from the authorities, urging them to fully investigate the allegations and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
As the nation grapples with the fallout from these shocking revelations, it is clear that the road to justice will be fraught with challenges. However, with unwavering determination and the support of the international community, Sri Lanka can begin to heal the wounds inflicted by these heinous acts of violence and ensure that such atrocities are never repeated.
