(Lanka-e-News -30.Jan.2016, 11.45PM) It is the end of the road for the corrupt Rajapakses who were plundering and pillaging public wealth and resources of the country for nearly a decade to most selfishly fatten themselves !
When the opposition was saying the present ‘interval’ was being exploited for political advantage , the government was countering by saying, evidence to substantiate these robberies had to be gathered.
As claimed by the government so it happened today. Rajapakse’s son Naval officer Yoshitha Rajapakse ; Nishantha Ranatunge (the brother of minister Arjuna Ranatunge) Director CSN ; the present Kurunegala district M.P. cum Mahinda Rajapakse’s media spokesman Rohan Welivita ; and Directors of CSN , J.T.S. Fernando and Kavishan Dissanayake were arrested by the FCID and the Navy in connection with frauds at the CSN involving public funds and misappropriation of public assets . They were today produced before the Kaduwela magistrate .
The Navy headquarters summoned Yoshitha Rajapakse this morning to record a statement , and was arrested after his statement was recorded. He was then handed over to the FCID. Meanwhile, Rohan Welivita was arrested at his residence at Narahenpita . The other suspects too were arrested while they were in their homes.
When the suspects were being taken to the courts , Mahinda , Shiranthi , Namal , Basil and Gotabaya the other Rajapakse crooks who are going to complete the ‘interval’ were present on the court premises.
Finally , Yoshitha and his group were ordered by Kaduwela magistrate Dhammika Hemapala to be remanded until the 11 th of February based on a number of charges including misappropriation of public funds. After coming out from the court premises , Mahinda said , even if his wife , brothers and children are put behind bars , his grit cannot be tempered.
It is a pity that corrupt brutal Mahinda cannot still understand that his beloved ones are going to jail because of the crimes committed during his own administration. In other words he had himself paved the way for that , Hence, his ‘grit and determination’ bombasts now serve no purpose therefore. May we recall media reported earlier on , quoting Shranthi Rajapakse as saying , if Yoshitha is arrested , she would drink poison.
It is learnt that charges are to be filed against Yoshitha next week in connection with Thajudeen’s murder.

"If Yoshitha is arrested , I would drink poison." Sure keep your word before the entire Rajapakse Family bundled into merchant ward (hic) where they can celebrate all the festivals like Avurudha, Birthdays and kavuns compliments from rogues in the prison. Hey Shiranthi, the jeans you wore to see your son off at welikada, don't fit your bulging body. May be a jumper suit from prison may hide your curves. If MS waiver and interfere with judiciary, then he can count his days behind bars when his time come.

It is great news. The people were impatiently waiting till the Rajapaksas who defrauded the public for ten long years are brought to justice. Even after dragging their feet for over a year the government seems to be taking some action against criminals. It is hoped that no attempts will be made to protect these fraudsters who plundered public funds for their aggrandizement.
