Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, along with his wife Ioma Rajapaksa, was seen with UNP Chairman Vajira Abeywardena at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) on the night of July 9, ironically the day which marked the first anniversary of his fleeing office following the Aragalaya, a source from the airport said.

Mr. Rajapaksa and Mr. Abeywardena had arrived at the airport from Singapore on the same flight. The airport authorities have seen them having a look at the ongoing construction work of the airport and walking leisurely.

It is learnt that Mr. Rajapaksa has arrived at the airport from Laos via Singapore. He fled the country in the face of mounting public pressure last year. (Kelum Bandara)

    Gota must have gone to check on his stolen money and kept in different countries.

    Assessing how much damage could be done to the foolish country in the future.

    As they have enough and more money and due to lack of any legal process to bring these fellows to task, they can enjoy life.

    They must live longer to see what has seen by the Satan JRJ for his clients and colleagues!

    Ranil is training Vajira Abeygunawardene to become the Prime Minister chasing out Dhinesh Gunawardene, that is why he is sending him to Raja Mahendran to Singapore. (Without smoke no fire)

    Still our nation has never learnt a good lesson, stii the Rajapaksa family think, they could still hoodwink, actually their is no one else other than RW, at this moment, but iam sorry to say, by 2024 November, if they have the presidential Election, more than half the people had left this nation already. At least right now, we have to come to terms, that Rajapaksa family should not exist in this country, we must sweep them off.

    We often see reports of Gota visiting various countries. He has the money and leading a luxurious life with his wife after making the greater part of the Sri Lankan population live in misery. He might see Hell before long .

    Must have gone to Laos to update his bank accounts

    Lalith Tuesday, 11 July 2023 01:41 PM

    Gota lives on tax payer’s money. He has to do something to spend noh? Laos? OK Why doesn’t he travel to the USA?

    Foes for the outside world, friends in real life. There is nothing wrong being friends. Late Mr. Dully Senanayake had consulted late Dr. N. M. Perera on vital issues. LSSP and UNP were in opposite poles .Sri Lankans have been fooled for 75 years, consequently ended up in bankruptcy of the country.

    Two failed politicians taking a walk to get a sumptuous dinner digested, while around 40% of the household are going to bed with just one meal a day.

    The former ruler has probably cut short his visit to a foreign country to advise the incumbent about whom to appoint as the next I.G.P as no breakthrough has emerged in the selection so far and the preferred candidate of the former will definitelt after being appointed as his proxy, cannibalize the entire police apparatus within weeks.

    People are commenting just out of their dreams without any proof. Gota was not a thief. He looked the other way because he didn't have guts to oppose the brothers. Gota did good things when he was the Defense Secretary, if Ranil or Sajith were in power from that time, the LTTE war was still going on or the North East would have been declared as a separate country and the government would be engaging in continously battle to secure the borders from the encroachments from ne settlers. Gota did blunders but others who robbed the country are still managing the country.

    Tour of Commission collection?

    Korapaya Tuesday, 11 July 2023 08:41 PM

    What did they smuggle into the country.

    Wiraj Wednesday, 12 July 2023 11:28 AM

    @ Tissa Fernando, Gota not a thief? Have you forgotten the Mig flight procurement saga? Lasantha Wickrematunga has paid the price for exposing it. There are many more accusations against him.
