Everyone will fear former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa if he comes to power, Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake said yesterday.


Ramanayake came out with this sentiment in response to a statement made by Minister Mangala Samaraweera that he fear's former Defence Secretary.


"Won't all of us run away if we find out that there is a person here with a bomb? Aren’t you afraid of Mahasona," he asked journalists.


Quoting former Minister Mervyn Silva, Ramanayake said the former had publicly stated that Mr. Rajapaksa was behind the white van drama during the previous regime. Also he recalled that Mr. Rajapaksa himself had publically stated several years ago that he would hang Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka. He said it is obvious that many become scared of former Defence Secretary when one considers the given circumstance.(Yohan Perera)

    Why would you wanna fear anyone if you got nothing to hide?

    Logical Sunday, 27 May 2018 03:30 PM

    Aren't you scared of homicidal lunatics even if you have done nothing wrong?

    Labby Sunday, 27 May 2018 04:40 PM

    Did the journalists who disappeared have anything to hide from?

    We need a Dictator! Muppets can't rule this country. That Dictator is only Gotta.

    Jhon Sunday, 27 May 2018 04:23 PM

    There is no place for dictators in a democracy.

    Jesus Sunday, 27 May 2018 05:23 PM

    Christians and Catholics will make the so called Buddhist dictator go missing in USA.

    Fully Agree with what chanaka says. Need GOTA to come back and do full turn around in discipline.

    He is the most able body to run Sri lanka. There is no other person.

    Jaliya Sunday, 27 May 2018 01:24 PM

    You might wana rephrase your statement as “He is the most able body to ruin Sri lanka”

    abc Sunday, 27 May 2018 03:31 PM

    Why fear? You need to fear if you have anything to hide. You need to fear if you engage in wrong acts. You need to fear if you act against law. You need to fear if you evade tax. Yiu need to fear if you engage in criminal activities. If you do not engage in any of these acts and don't break country's law no need to fear. We want a strong leader, a visionery who can lead the country with a clear economic goal. A leader who is not afraid to take right decisions. A leader who loves the country and its citizens irrespective of their religion or ethnicity. Mr Gotabhaya Rajapakse has proved his true capabilities and class to become a real National Leader. He is the only hope. So he should become the next leader.

    Dayananda Monday, 28 May 2018 01:35 PM

    some says He is National Leader never prove his application He represents only sinhala Buddhist how national leader like that I have so many example his behavior see the world history these type of characters are electing through voting ultimately become dictator.

    G R is an American citizen, as i understand it , he is not allowed to hold any political office , so why is he allowed to make political statements.Does anyone here know what he is allowed to do legally.

    neil alvis Sunday, 27 May 2018 04:41 PM

    Tamils do not forget that GB bundled them in buses in Colombo and sent up north. International community condemned this separatist behaviour by GB so they were allowed to return.
