More information has emerged from the report on the security lapses behind former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s departure from the country.
Already when the report was submitted in court last week, some information was leaked. Based on this, the information has been confirmed in the allegation report that former army commander Shavendra Silva did not properly implement the instructions of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who was in office at the time.
Following this, the Budujana Peramuna party is demanding that action should be taken against him.
Security Deficiency
Former Navy Commander Vasantha Karanakoda, former Army Commander Daya Ratnayake and former Air Force Commander Rozan Gunathilak were members of the commission into the security lapses behind Gotabaya’s ouster.
According to the committee’s report, when Gotabaya Rajapaksa was besieged by protesters at the Presidential Palace, former Member of Parliament Hirunika Premacandra protested near the Presidential Palace as a major incident in the security breach.
At the same time, it is stated in the report that the intelligence department was not aware of the demonstrations around Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s Mirihana residence and a lack of security.
In the commission report
However, the top level of the State Intelligence Department said that they were aware of it in advance and provided information to the appropriate places. However, an English newspaper reported that it did not submit the evidence.
“Meanwhile, there has been no communication between Gotabaya and the head of the State Intelligence Department, Mohamed Saleh.
However, the commission comprising three former commanders did not mention this in their report. However, when Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Salle met during a party at the Indian House recently, Gotabaya has directly informed that Salle has not been in touch since he left the country.
At the same time, even when there were reports about security being provided to the house of Gnanaka, who advises Gotabaya living in Anuradhapuram, the matter was not mentioned in the report of the three former commanders.” And the said English newspaper reported.
