Around fifty percent of the population in this country is contributing at least one rupee to the international Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) diaspora daily, Lanka Private Bus Owners' Association (LPBOA) Chairman Gemunu Wijeratne said.
He told the Daily Mirror exclusively that the LTTE and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist organisations are currently the most funded organisations.
He said this fact was revealed following an analysis done by him. He said most of the financial companies are run by funds from the LTTE.
They give the collected money to local politicians, government officials and trade unions to depend on them, and it has become a serious problem to the country.
This is not even being investigated into by the police because the police attempts are also being foiled by the LTTE and ISIS.
"That is why there is a huge objection to the proposed Anti-Terrorism Act and to the proposed Broadcasting Regulatory Commission legislation. This is a result the country has faced after the LTTE war, and any war cannot be defeated by just killing people," Wijeratne said.
Also, he said that he will reveal all the details if anyone gives him a chance. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

would you mind managing the private buses without poking your fingers into unknown territory? Do not talk if things without any proof. You and your findings.....
Ah Monday, 02 October 2023 12:40 PM
Exactly you better manage your private transportation association properly providing buses at cheap rate for the public; instead of dwelling into others fields. Is your organisation funded by LTTE diaspora? Danna mona mogulath ney

And our people-The Govt, Govt servants, Intel who get their Public Tax Money for their salaries, Tamashas, etc are all quite happy sleeping or robbing.

Is an election on the way. Bus Gemunu trying to scare public by showing a ltte threat. It looks that “wanda kottu and wanda underpants” are outdated now. He has to fly a kite somewhere else.

We made a fellow competent to drive three wheelers as President of this country as Maithripala Sirisena. Now we have a Bus Driver becoming Intelligence Chief of Sri Lanka. Luckily Sri Lanka is country of idiots, therefore "ohoma yang".
Danuka Monday, 02 October 2023 12:28 PM
Yeah? Are bus mafia's also funded by them? Many of the private bus drivers take great pleasure in terrorising other users of the road perhaps on the illusion that the roads belong to them.
Dan Monday, 02 October 2023 12:43 PM
"He said this fact was revealed following an analysis done by him." Wonder when a private bus operator became an researcher. Country had become a paradise of idiots twisting facts to facilitate politicians. Bullsh....ing at it's best

Sri Lanka is where sports minster talk about ports, ports minister talk about sports, defence minister talk about tourism, tourism minster talk about ganja, transport minister talk about finance, finance minister talk about tourism, bus association talks about national security. None of them talk or develop their sector. All messed up. End of the day, No one knows what to do.

Mr Gemunu,I will give you the chance.Please reveal all details which nobody could find out.We are awaiting for your revelation and hope it's not empty talk.What a sleuth.

To the contrary the LTTE diaspora is funding our economy by being a significant proportion of inbound tourism, tourism related spending and also charity contributions maybe predominately to the north and east. Year ago one overseas Demilo money changer told me that he transmits upto USD $70,000 per day to Sri Lanka

For decades, this unschooled, empty-head could not do any changes to private bus operations. Before parents suffered and now their own children suffer with private buses under him as LPBOA chairman. It is the mistake of our jurnos and news channels to hold their mics to every roadside Tom.
Mahila Monday, 02 October 2023 05:14 PM
AJ, He couldn't do anything to the "Private Bus Operations", because he was BUSY investigating for the GREAT REVELATION of How LTTE, IS FINANCING THE FINANCE COMPANIES!!!?? ‘Ballage Weda Booruwa Keranda Hadanawa’!!?? Kappothi Thamai!!!???? Probably, wants to prove – Like Wanda Pethi in Ampara and Kurunegala, to be used to Ban those Finance companies so their assets are safe, when Finance company is forced to SHUT-DOWN AND THEREFORE THE FINANCE LIABILIYT IS RELEASED!!! SPLENDID!!!???

Lip service for someone? Buddy, stick to driving your busses.
Adwani Monday, 02 October 2023 01:21 PM
This stupid is Sri Lankan Vadivelu, he should at least take a look into the services provided by the private buses, rather than talking about Diaspora. These days one needs military training to board the bus, such is the situation when it comes to boarding of private buses. They do not wanted to stop at the bus stop for elderly passengers to board.
REEZ Monday, 02 October 2023 01:30 PM
Looks like another savior of the country emerging.
Jam Monday, 02 October 2023 01:34 PM
Rubbish, be in your lane.bus driver talking about what he does not know. Doctor talked about agriculture and destroyed the country with gobs

Must be planning to contest the next elections from Gota's new party. Can't win an election without LTTE
Roshanaly Monday, 02 October 2023 02:29 PM
Very son you will be appointed as Minister of Transport.
Donkey talk Monday, 02 October 2023 02:54 PM
Seems Gemunu donkey is planning to contest in the next PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The majority people may vote for him.
Shantha Monday, 02 October 2023 03:02 PM
This fellow is taking nonsense and trying to bring a issue on the request of pottuwa fellows. Gamunu is an uneducated chap even he can't manage his private bus union.
Cannot be fooled Monday, 02 October 2023 03:34 PM
Diaspora flooding comments here, so obvious.
Murali Monday, 02 October 2023 03:55 PM
So does this Gemunu suggest that 50% of the population are Tamils?
bark Monday, 02 October 2023 04:10 PM
first tech the conductors to give the balance money to passengers.
Bandu Monday, 02 October 2023 05:34 PM
So he has facts tucked away somewhere like Anura Kumara's 200 corruption files. Why not expose them - who is preventing. Go to CIABOC or CID and tell the world that you did so. Telling Press useless.
Kps Monday, 02 October 2023 07:42 PM
You are one of most uneducated person in the country and mind your own business.
Traitor-Fonseka-White-Flag Tuesday, 03 October 2023 04:27 AM
If the statement made by you is with the intention of genuine cause, then you must support His Excellency Rajapaksa to take over the government that was voted by the very people to Rajapaksas.

It's better someone advise or admit him immediately to Angoda hospital for mental treatment.
