Very sad. Great Leader. When I was at Nilaweli he came by Helicopter with Mr Ondachchi. Asked me to give escort to him to go to his Nilaweli Beach Hotel. I gave escort to Mr Ondachchi with Sri Lanka Army. After two hours Mr. Gamini Dissanayake came to Nilaweli Beach Hotel to pick Mr. George Ondachchi. That day first time I spoke with Mr. Dissanayake. These Politicians killed our Great Leaders. Mr. Premadasa. Mr. Athulathmudali and Gamini Dissanayake. Mr. Navin and Mayantha you must join with Sajith and take necessary action to Investigate your fathers assinations. I respect your fathers. I was at Nilaweli as OIC in 1986 to 1987. After peace accord signing we transferred to Colombo. Again after IPKF arrival transferred to Trincomalee immediately. Because my Police Platoon members were Army Trained IOT . Then our HQI Trincomalee Richard Wijesekara sent me to Uppuveli Round about IPKF camp . I am the first person went to joint Operations with IPKF. Major Bali .Major Purohith. Major Prathap Singh. Captain Benarjee was there. They were good with me. I left the service due lack of my Promotions when l was at CID OIC. UNP poltical Victimisation list member since 1998. My father Kesbewa Electorate UNP Branch President. That's why Chandrika regime they held up my Promotions. When I was 34 years age I left the service and submitted appeal to UNP Poltical Victimisation list. My number 504/98 . Nothing happened to my appeal. Very sad. Now we hate UNP . Because this leader Vanished UNP. Nothing done to UNP members like us. After 10years and 7 month Service I left the service. No Red ink entries. No Black marks . No Charge sheets. No Disciplinary actions against me. No Interdictions. We were kepuwath kola UNP ers. You must join with Sajith and Take this party to great way.
Hon. Gamini Dissanayake and Lalith Athulathmudali great leaders. Hon. Premadasa and both Leaders killed by our Politicians. After this Assassinations they came to power.
