Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe today said that alleged assassination plot on President Maithripala Sirisena and former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, ‘is serious than we think as several individuals have been involved in it and called on the CID to investigate it thoroughly.’

Addressing the media the Minister also said that the CID investigations on the alleged assassination plot had taken a different turn after the media reports that an Indian has met Police informer Namal Kumara, who exposed the alleged conspiracy.

“It seems that the alleged plot is serious than we think as several individuals have involved in it. The CID must go to the bottom of the conspiracy, expose all those involved if there was an assassination attempt, and take strict legal action against perpetrators without delay,” Minister Samarasinghe said.

    Seriously, who wants to kill President

    By law, if the president is assassinated or even incapacitated, the Prime Minister (PM) becomes the acting president. Incumbent PM is an individual that can never become the executive president (EP). His only option is to either abolish the EP or remove the Incumbent EP by "other" questionable means. This alleged plot must be taken extremely seriously. Very seriously.

    After all the investigations it will fizzle out to nothing

    Strange assassination plot combination. Sirisena and Gota are completely two different political issues. Either of these two names is brought in as an eyewash.

    Who are the candidates for President other than these two? Then we can find the motive

    I know how intelligencia give dead ropes to informants to gauge their responses. I think this is one of them. Apperently the informents have jumped the gun.And starving politicos and media have become cluless.
