Parliamentarian Namal Rajapakse, who was in Moscow, Russia to observe the presidential election, said that he was not allowed to travel to US on the instructions of US officials.

In a twitter message, MP Rajapaksa said that the Emirates Airline officials in Moscow informed him that he cannot board a flight to Houston as US officials instructed the airline not to let him, board.

“Emirates Air #Moscow informs I won’t make my Houston Flight as #US Officials instruct them to not let me, board. Valid reason yet to be received. The US has the Sovereign right of course. Sure it has nothing to do with my name, being part of #lka opposition or my travel from #Russia” he tweeted.

Mr.Namal Rajapaksa, Please be aware that things happen differently in USA. You guys cannot play the fool in USA like in Sri Lanka. The way things happen in Sri Lanka today, if it happens in USA, we have to see most of them behind the bars.

Gota will never Revoke his US citizenship and he will not contest 2020. US will never allow Rajapaksa Family to enter the United States.

gamaya Thursday, 22 March 2018 12:27 PM

VJ Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:09 PM

The ultimate destination was the US, observing the election in Russia was probably an excuse to leave the country.

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:13 PM

You must be up to something notorious, otherwise why should they debar you from entering?

Govinda Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:21 PM

May be emirates officials know that you a relation of Udayanga. Black listed world wide I suppose.

Unchikun Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:28 PM

No reasons need be given to prevent people from entering a country by the authorities. Just pack your bags and get back. Now you know what the democratic world looks at budding dictators.

Maramandai Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:28 PM

Namal baba,Why don't you go to Beijing or Pyongyang. They will give you a red carpet welcome. BTW I'm surprised to hear you were in Russia to observe the election. You must have taught Russians on how to deal with their traitors..

ranga Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:44 PM

How did this chap get selected to observe russian elections. Or is it a fact finding mission on how to use hackers to sway the elections.

Mahila Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:59 PM

They may have thought that you are trying to plant a Russian system of elections in the states.

Sincere Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:59 PM

Mandayan Thursday, 22 March 2018 05:04 PM

Ah, that’s the issue with our passport and they must have thought just another Asylum Seeker. Didn’t you tell them you were the Royal Prince once. You now know why, uncle Gota do not want to lose the US passport.

CITIZEN Thursday, 22 March 2018 05:23 PM

TELL THE US OFFICIALS THAT YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM PUTIN TO TRUMP!

CITIZEN Thursday, 22 March 2018 05:30 PM

May be, they can't be bothered when INTERPOL looks for you with a RED Notice!

GOOD CITIZEN Thursday, 22 March 2018 05:57 PM

Hi, don't forget he is a lawyer!

Udaya Udugama Thursday, 22 March 2018 06:14 PM

Good to align with Putin’s Russia than Yankee dicky. Looks like young Rajapakse is getting ready for his 2030 mission. Russians look after their allies better than Uncle Sam. Namal stand on the patriotic side and Russia is one who will not let you down...

parakum Thursday, 22 March 2018 06:14 PM

He want Putin to oust the Yahapalanaya and install MR as King wearing the CROWN Putin gave him when he visited Russia.

Palli Kanda Thursday, 22 March 2018 07:02 PM

Not a decent way to treat the next President of Sri Lanka. Sure, he will ban the Sri Lankan air space for Emirtes.

Dhammika Friday, 23 March 2018 03:19 PM

The US Ambassador to Sri Lanka is an Indian Parasite called Athul Keshap.

Imthiyaz MM Saturday, 24 March 2018 11:07 AM

From where he gets the money to go around all these country?

Dhammika Sunday, 25 March 2018 10:45 AM

So a 31 years old lawyer ( BACK DOOR ) and an MP. doesnt know that he needs a visa to travel to the USA . ( Probably the man thought that he was like his uncles BASIL and GOTA - American citizens . How pathetic THE FUTURE LEADERS OF SRI LANKA ? .

concerned Monday, 26 March 2018 12:13 PM

The American know where he belongs certainly not in America but in a place where he should pay for his crimes and sins
