(Lanka-e-News- 12.Aug.2015, 6.00PM) Major General Prasanna Silva who was seeking to revive the abominable white Van fear psychosis has been removed from the post of commanding officer of the Commando regiment, and in his place Brigadier Ralph Nugera has been appointed. It is a well and widely known fact that the mysterious white Van was associated with ruthless abductions and murders of innocent citizens under the last regime.
The Army acting media spokesman Brigadier Jayanath Jayaweera told the media that although Prasanna Silva has been removed from the post of commanding officer , he still continues as senior co ordinating officer to the defense ministry .
The white Van that was used by LTTE sea tigers leader Soosai was seized by the army. However without re- registering this Van it was used on the sly by Prasanna Silva for five years. On 22nd July , the police took into custody three security soldiers of Prasanna carrying official arms supplied by Prasanna with the white Van with a spurious number plate fitted to it by Prasanna .The arrest was made near the Mirihana police playground when the white van and the soldiers was sent on a secret mission by Prasanna.
The three suspects were produced before Nugegoda courts ,and they were released on bail, while the CID is conducting investigations. Holding back the vehicle secretly that was seized from the LTTE without re registering it is a flagrant violation of the army regulations.
If for instance any army officer is facing threats , he is entitled to use a civilian vehicle number plate instead of army number plate , but that number must be obtained from the department of registration of motor vehicles. Prasanna Silva on the contrary , fastening a bogus number plate to the white van in his custody and sending it on a secret mission has committed a gross violation of army regulations.
Even when an ordinary soldier is enrolled to the service , and he is handed over arms , the advice given is , the firearms are not entrusted even to his wife or anybody else, and are most carefully safeguarded. When such caution has to be exercised in relation to weapons used , Prasanna Silva , despite being a major general by giving his official weapon – the pistol to another has committed a very serious violation of army disciplinary regulations.
The security officials are thoroughly disillusioned over the leniency shown towards Prasanna Silva who acted in breach of army rules and laws committing heinous crimes ,instead of taking immediate measures to interdict him under the army laws ,launch a preliminary investigation and punish him via the military court.
Prasanna Silva a notorious contemptible lapdog and lickspittle of Gotabaya Rajapakse being allowed to continue as senior army co ordinating officer to the defense ministry in spite of all his criminalities and brutal potentialities , has triggered suspicions among defense officials that somebody out there still has the need to create the white Van fear psychosis once again.
