(November 17, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The three forces chiefs did not attended the guard of honor offered to General Sarath Fonseka who retired from active military service today (Nov.16) . The chiefs of the three armed forces generally attend the ceremony held to offer a guard of honor to a Chief of Defence Staff who is retiring from the post. However, the President and Gotabaya has issued an order last night (15) calling on the forces chiefs not to attend the ceremony the following day. Although media personnel were asked to be present at the venue at 9 a.m. as the event was scheduled to commence at 9.30 a.m., they have been taken inside only around 10 a.m. The media personnel have been delayed on an order by Major General Shavendra Silva. This shameless act evident that regime of Rajapaksha is not a product of consensus but one created by lies, fraud , deceit and thuggery.

Prior extend Gen.Fonsekas resignation it was reported, senior official from the Indian intelligence has approached representative of General Sarath Fonseka, who is tipped to lead as the common candidate at the next election what so ever.The General’s representative had communicated to establish ethnic reconciliation, restore democracy and good governance , restore media freedom and abolish the Executive Presidency within 180 days after assuming office, also to rebuild diplomatic relations with India that have broken down at present. Subsequently Mahinda and Gotabaya also staged another dramatic virtually against India by embracing two characterizes who rival with India.

On October end Gotabaya led 5days defence delegation to Pakistan , during stay in Pakistan, hold meetings with Pakistan defense establishment, this week Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman,Pakistan Chief of Air Staff reached Sri Lanka on the invitation of Gotabaya. During the visit, Rao Qamar called on President Mahinda, Prime Minister and services chiefs of Sri Lanka. Prior to reach Sri Lanka, Pakistan Air Chief Marshal has proceeded to China at the invitation of People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) .Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman hold the keynote speaker at the Forum and presented his vision of the role of air forces in future warfare. Not only his defense delegation also had he called President Hu Jintao and Vice President of the People's Republic of China. During the session with Mahinda Rajapaksha he expresses his deep gratitude towards Rao Qamar to the role played by him in the Lahore attack. In the face of Lahore attack he played controversial role collaboration with Sri Lankan High commissioner Jayalath Weerakkody, Pakistan defense establishment blamed India, it was said immediately that India’s foreign intelligence organization, the R&AW, had staged the attack to spoil Pak-Sri Lanka relations. Issuing Pakistan CID report to the press reiterated, that they had source information that the R&AW had planned to attack the Sri Lankan cricketers either on their way to the stadium or at their hotel. Further said that weapons left behind by the attackers had Indian ordnance factory markings, and the dry rations carried by the terrorists were manufactured in India.

In replying Indian government said Pakistanis have lost control over their own militant proxies. RAW disclosed, Lahore terrorist attack has revealed a serious ailment in the Pakistani intelligence net, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)apparatus. RAW exposed Sri Lankan team bus was diverted to the chosen route of the terrorists in the last minute on the basis of an unidentified phone call and subsequently attackers melted away unchallenged even by a patrolling police vehicle, although 12 terrorists involved in the attack none of has been arrested, Pakistan is staging media exhibition by arresting bogus suspects over 100,but yet to arrest any of terrorists, all terrorists (involved in the attack) managed to flee its own territory, due to the belated response by police . RAW claimed Lahore attack was the work of strong and rabid sections within Pakistan’s intelligence and security establishment who were waging a war against the state for their own political, strategic and ideological reasons.As such SL president's greeting remain question.

Apart from this incident, recently new Army commander Jagath Jayasooriya remarked “We received a request from Pakistan to train their officers on our small team operations, so we have decided to open several new training schools in Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi and Vavuniya to train local and foreign military officers,” But RAW is clamming it is a ploy of Colombo Government, in fact to check the current presence of Indian intelligence in Vanni. In the final phase of war against LTTE Indian defence advisor MK.Narayanan produced nominal roll over hundreds of Indians who were trapped in NFZ and asking their safety from SL military, later who were learned as RAW agents. It is worth to note recently, RAW has gained attention for providing intelligence on Al-Qaeda, Taliban and LTTE targets . Further Gen. Jayasuriya told Media that the SL army was to set up permanent military camps in the ‘liberated’ North and it had ordered pre-fabricated buildings from China to build military camps that would be installed soon by them." SL Army commander added.

The shadowy and reclusive ruler of the military junta in Myanmar general Than Shwe arrived Colombo this week to pay a state visit to Sri Lanka.In June this year Mahinda Rajapaksa also paid state visit to Myanmar on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.Myanmar is of great strategic significance India and china due to long borders with both countries. Since early years of the military regime, India is worried on democracy,same caused Myanmar to move embrace China. When Myanmar Foreign Minister Nyan Win, who visited India in January 2008, called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the PM emphasized that there was need for greater urgency in bringing about political reforms and national reconciliation. “This process has to be broad-based to include all sections of society, including Aung San Suu Kyi and the various ethnic groups.”

China is works closely with Miyanmar without any ideological commitment to democracy.Clearly, the Sri Lankan government is alike the Myanmar junta it learned to exploit the China-India battle for influence to its advantage.It was India's refusal to do business with Myanmar laid the space open wide for the Chinese to fill. While India and the world ignored the junta, China quickly expanded its economic and defense ties with Myanmar. China's naval cooperation with Myanmar and its work in modernizing several Myanmar ports has given the Chinese access to the Bay of Bengal and a presence near the vital Malacca, the massive Hambantota port project on Sri Lanka give Chaina a significant presence in the Indian Ocean.What may India is concern over the increasing activities of China ,Pakistan, Miyanmar and Iran While same seem greater strategic implications directly effect with india.In more President has requested the Foreign Minister to further strengthen ties with Pakistan due to doubts over the possibility of the Indian government supporting the candidature of General Sarath Fonseka at the next Presidential election following sudden official visit recently undertaken by the Opposition Leader.A government delegation headed by Basil Rajapaksa and Dullas Alahapperuma are to visit Pakistan after the 20th.Even Mahinda and Gotbaya choose Pakistan and Miyanmar to set challenge on India but both countries are top ranked on the path to becoming a failed states in the world.

It is defficult assert India may act as mute spectator ,as danger knock its front door.
