(February 26, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Government decided to arrest and institute action against General Sarath Fonseka as he had used his official position as the

Army Commander and Chief of Defence Staff to establish connections with political parties with a view to enter politics, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said yesterday, according to Daily News report.

Gotabhaya Rajapakse blamed that Sarath Fonseka during his service as Commander and CDS he had used his position to influence senior military officers to support his political activities.

Thus, he blamed that Sarath Fonseka breached the discipline conduct of the Armed Forces.

This is very interesting. Gotabhaya Rajapakse, holding a civil servant position as the Defence Secretary played key role in UPFA political activities in the last election. He not only actively campaigned for his brother Mahida Rajapakse, he also used the police machinery in support of Mahinda Rajapakse’s victory.

This is the hypocritical realities of current Mahinda Rajapakse regime. Gotabhaya Rajapakse is currently raping the law and order of the country to save the current UPFA regime.

One rule for Sarath Fonseka and one rule for Gotabhaya Rajapakse? Over to you, the people of Sri Lanka.
