There are reports that a secret conspiracy is being hatched with the participation of several stalwarts of the government to prevent former Commander of SL Army, Chief of Defense Staff Gen.Fonseka entering politics states 'Lanka Irida.'
Internal sources of the government state the statement made by a senior man in the government recently regarding resigning from the Parliament was a part of this conspiracy. The attempt to draw Gen. Fonseka away from being named the common candidate of the opposition by offering him a seat in the Parliament made vacant by the resignation of the top man in the government has not borne fruit. The General has rejected the Parliament seat.
The next step of this plan was to take measures to offer a post of defense consultant in the USA or the UK. Government stalwarts had directly mediated in this venture. They are planning some other way of removing Gen. Fonseka from entering politics if he rejects this offer as well.
It is reported that a team of several officials in diplomatic service and two senior lawyers domiciled abroad has been assigned this task.
'Lanka Irida' states it has received information from a very reliable source that a very high person in the higher hierarchy of the government has asked for assistance from a VVIP in London to carry out the plan. This VVIP fulfilled a massive task in getting Ms. Chandrika Bandaranayake Kumaratunga, while she was living in the UK, to Sri Lanka to join the political process here.
