(Lanka-e-News- 11.Sep.2014, 6.30PM) The IGP of Sri Lanka Ilangakoon who made loud announcements before political party representatives yesterday (10) evening that action he will enforce the election laws duly and take action against violence had himself acted disgracefully and within a few hours after his announcements turned most unlawful by giving transfers to R.D.S. Abeyratne the OIC of Moneragala police headquarters and M.R.D. Wimaladasa the OIC of Wellawaya police .
Although this action of the IGP taken following discussions with the political party representatives was ostensibly to curb and control violence , in truth , the IGP was kowtowing to Sashindra Rajapakse and his pressures. During the last several days Sashindra’s supporters and stooges were on a rampage of violence , and it were these police officers who took bold action to halt this ruthless rampage.
It is significant to note that some days ago , the election offices of opposition parties were attacked and shot at by none other than the officers of the PSD (President’s security division) who are provided as security detail to Sashindra. They are given lodging in Sashindra’s garage and sleep in the make shift beds therein.
The OIC of Moneragala police station , IP Abeyratne acting duly had personally gone and met these goons and gangs of Sashindra , that is the PSD officers after their rampage and made a plea to them to permit him to do his duties and the elections to be conducted fairly and freely .
Abeyratne had also prepared a report on this , and SSP Lionel Gunathileke had handed over this to the elections commissioner when he did a tour of Moneragala a few days ago. Lawless brute Sashindra who was obviously angered over lawful actions being taken had met Gunathileke the following day , and threatened him most viciously .
‘If you cannot work according to our instructions , we shall remove your uniform and send you naked,’ Sashindra and Nihal Wansa Arachchi who calls himself as a secretary of Basil Rajapakse have thundered. It is after those threats and intimidation , these police transfers were given effect today.
These transfers have been effected by the IGP unlawfully under the order No. D/MD/ 1181/2014.
M.D.S. Abeyratne IP has been transferred to Dambagalla police while an STF officer Wehitha Deshapriya of Dambagalla police has been transferred to Moneragala.
It is worthy of note that Deshapriya was taken into the police permanent cadre only about two and half years ago , and is an ignoramus as regards police duties. It is Sashindra the architect of all the violence and an enemy to peace and order in Moneragala who had requested Deshapriya’s transfer who earlier become a close pal of Sashindra at Kataragama.
At the time of posting this report , we are informed that the Wellawaya Police OIC had also been transferred, and that M.R.D. Wimaladasa CI of Hingurakgoda had taken over his place at Wellawaya. This transfer too had been done at the behest of Sashindra . Wimaladasa is a relative of Sashindra’s driver.
It is a well and widely known fact that after the date of elections are announced transfer of any police officer is a gross violation of election laws . There are also several Supreme court decisions too which confirm this .
Yet , these illegal transfers have been effected by the SL’s IGP (Imbecile General of police) on the direct orders of none other than SL’s defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse better known as the criminal defense secretary .
