Former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia Udayanga Weeratunga, who is under a court warrant in a case pertaining to the purchase of MiG fighter jets, has been asked to return to the country by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the 'Yahapalana Vindithayo Sanvidanaya' organisation said yesterday.

A spokesman for the organisation called "Victims of Yahapalana Government" said that he would request for the removal of Weeratunga's travel ban through a motion from the Fort Magistrate's Court today.

This organization said further that due to the travel ban, it was an obstacle for him to return to Sri Lanka and that he would present a motion to get this ban removed accordingly.(Nalaka Sanjeewa Dahanayaaka)

Probably MR wants to put a check on GR om MIG deal by bringing this fellow?

C.K.Lankaputhra Tuesday, 26 June 2018 09:14 AM

Udyanga's god father may have now prepared the safe ground for him to land. Once landed, arrest and release on bail and that's all about it.

You missed an important point: Hospitalization (unknown ailment)

Ronnie Bugger Tuesday, 26 June 2018 09:14 AM

This man is still free to roam despite the red notice from Interpol, the CID, the Judiciary and even the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Now. his Godfather, MR is asking him, not requesting him to return. This simply goes to show how ineffective all these Institutes are to bring back one rogue.

Sujeeva Tuesday, 26 June 2018 09:49 AM

Now Mr.Ranil will also ask Arjun Mahendran to return immediately, otherwise he will have to always stay like "Weda Beri Tarzan"....... what a drama ha?

Sheri Tuesday, 26 June 2018 02:18 PM

@Sujeeva: you are funny :)

cheers Tuesday, 26 June 2018 01:27 PM

New mega series on shooting.... actors are getting ready with make-ups... Could you please imagine who will be the director and producer of this series....

Arjuna Ranawana Tuesday, 26 June 2018 01:46 PM

It is not a joke. He should have respect to court and its order. MR. also to be charged along with his brother according to this news.

Prema Tuesday, 26 June 2018 01:59 PM

The point is MR knows where Udayanba is.He has met him during his visits where as pm doesn’t know AMs whereabouts.

Ram Tuesday, 26 June 2018 02:58 PM

Look as if MR has struck a deal with Yahapalanaya ti give Udayanga and save Gota

Justice Tuesday, 26 June 2018 03:25 PM

What about the other nephew JALIYA hiding in the US ?Isn't. MR asking him too to return ?

LOst LANKAN Tuesday, 26 June 2018 03:38 PM

Deal in the making?Why only now if he was clean

Suneth Perera Tuesday, 26 June 2018 04:10 PM

This is a very good way of taking a challenge. But yahapalanay will defensively put his in jail. You can not trust non barking doges.

Jaya Tuesday, 26 June 2018 04:18 PM

Are there any option other than slander to the court in one day

Dhammika Tuesday, 26 June 2018 04:33 PM

DEAL GALORE , WHAT A LAUGHING STOCK IN POWER ! .

Mandy Tuesday, 26 June 2018 04:37 PM

This is a ploy to get travel ban lifted so Interpol cannot act. He is stuck in Dubai but with ban lifted he will not come to SL but go into hiding again.Beware of Greeks bearing gifts is a famous saying since 19 AD - Vergil's Aeneid.

'Oya enna anney, balamuko monawada wenne kiyala"!!!

Sambo Tuesday, 26 June 2018 07:02 PM

This a huge shame to the government. They did everything to get him down but they could not. But if MR has asked him to come and if he comes then the government should cover their faces with the sarong.

Bala Tuesday, 26 June 2018 08:41 PM

Nothing to do with govt. This is one crook listening to his boss.

VJ Tuesday, 26 June 2018 07:05 PM

He would have returned to Sri Lanka if not for the travel ban? He was not hiding/absconding, an accused has now become the victim. He will be arrested and then released and will contest the next election and become the minister of aviation?

karthik Tuesday, 26 June 2018 07:35 PM

It looks like all the necessary ground work re this case has neen done. Govt. provided the required time for him to return now.

TONY Tuesday, 26 June 2018 07:56 PM

"VICTIM OF GOVT" MY FOOT. HE HAS CHEATED FOR THE RAJAPAKSHAS. WHICH IS WHY MR IS BEHIND

renu Tuesday, 26 June 2018 07:56 PM

Another Jiumper Case

Don Tuesday, 26 June 2018 08:58 PM

Udayanga is going to be the next Presidential Candidate of JO. He will be appointed as Pohottuwa Chairman.
