The US Ambassador in Colombo Julie Chung had controlled the Aragalaya people with one hand, and used the other hand to control former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, former Minister Wimal Weerawansa charged today.

He told the Uttara Lanka Sabhagaya event in Kegalle that former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's biggest problem was that he used to remain silent when Ambassador Chung commented.

He said that the US envoy had regular meetings with the former president in recent months.

"Everyone knew this, but no one said anything because they were scared for him. Envoy Chung visited the former president's house at Mirihana on the very day his official residence was attacked by the protesters. She came and apologised for what had happened that day. She said she belongs to the  Roman Catholic faith and thereby prayed to God invoke  relief for Mr. Rajapaksa," Weerawansa alleged.

Weerawansa further alleged that Gotabaya was trapped  in the US Ambassador's web.

"All decisions that the former president took, he conveyed to envoy Chung and then implemented it as per her instructions. When the president took the decision to remove the protestors, envoy Chung prevented it, claiming it would affect the IMF loan," Weerawansa charged. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

    What were the this media outlet and other outlets doing? GR working hand in glove with US administration was nothing new. Back to winning the war.

    Liongate Tuesday, 13 December 2022 04:53 PM

    Now Chinese Ambassador is controlling Wimal the Panchauda with one hand, and using his other hand to control Ranil Rajapaksas gang…..

    tilak Tuesday, 13 December 2022 04:53 PM

    and you WW were knowingly sucking up to GR

    BONIFICE TYRONE FERANDO Tuesday, 13 December 2022 04:54 PM

    pointless talking of what;s gone.Talk something good for the people of sri lanka.

    Ram Tuesday, 13 December 2022 05:29 PM

    Werrawansa appear to be a soothsayer. Last time Weerawansa did a fast unto death and MR stopped it with magic king coconut water. Weerawansa can attempt the fast again and see what he would receive from RW

    Jega Tuesday, 13 December 2022 05:29 PM

    You and your clique brought inexperienced man to power to dance for your tunes. Unfortunately he danced to US ambassador's tune as per you. Now, there is an experienced man in power. He will not dance like Gota. So, why don't you support him with your parliamentary power and save country?

    Ian Tuesday, 13 December 2022 05:50 PM

    Thank you Weerawansa telling the truth boldly.All others are suckers scared to open their mouth.Quite true,americans controlled the aragalaya

    Dee Tuesday, 13 December 2022 05:50 PM

    Just when SL is running out of cheap entertainment!

    Catholic a threat to our nation Tuesday, 13 December 2022 05:56 PM

    Since Cardinal Ranjith has been blaming the parangiya I have been concerned about the parangiya brought religion of Catholic to Sri Lanka. It is clear GR was corrupted by the Catholics.

    Rip Winkle Tuesday, 13 December 2022 06:15 PM

    It amazes me no end that there are people who believe this guy's fairy tales.

    Kapil Tuesday, 13 December 2022 07:39 PM

    When I was growing up back in the day i thought this guy had a foreign phobia.. but as I grew older and wiser I realize how the truth about what he says.. its all about control and propaganda I hope everyone realizes this sooner

    Mandayan Tuesday, 13 December 2022 08:13 PM

    You worked hard to bring a US citizen to be the country's President and now complain about the US ambassador for controlling GR. Are you insane?

    Roberta Flack Tuesday, 13 December 2022 08:37 PM

    A dangerous spin doctor who will beat even Murali at his game. He is a pseudo nationalist who loves visiting Disneyland and other places in the US.

    Mathanamutha Tuesday, 13 December 2022 08:56 PM

    Hey Boruwanse, US Envoy controlled her fellow citizen at that time. What’s your problem? You shouldn’t have promoted GR for Presidency, right?

    Harshith Tuesday, 13 December 2022 09:19 PM

    Only MR administration kept this west stooges in their place.. China is a real friend without any hidden agenda…

    Tissa Fernando Tuesday, 13 December 2022 09:40 PM

    What advantages are they going to get by doing that? Don't try to hide your stupidity and corruption in the theory of western conspiracies. In that case , your wife forging the birth certificate may also be part of their conspiracy, may be US Ambassador planted that birth certificate too. These thieves are still talking.

    Cherath Tuesday, 13 December 2022 10:41 PM

    Why not Weerawansa use the same tenacity and anti imperialist attitude to campaign for complete rejection of all aid, assistance, loans and donations from the US? He can even go further and stop all exports to US as well. (US is the biggest importer of SL garments)

    Vadivelu Yogaratnam Wednesday, 14 December 2022 12:21 AM

    Where was this man all these days probably in hiding.

    Cheers Wednesday, 14 December 2022 12:24 AM

    I voted for GR and I am not sure why he kept quiet about the protesters and was not removed from galleface and allowing julie to meddle with sri lankan affairs. GR would have used his powers as the head of defence using military to turn on the protesters who became violent. Anyway I respect GR he walked away using a single bullet defeating all diaspora, ngo and western bully dogs including America leaving sri lanka and sri lankans defeated and nothing had become better for people. Welldone GR walking away in a gentleman manner making our idiot 3rd class protesters including minority in doldrums

    Punchi Wednesday, 14 December 2022 04:55 AM

    Americans controlled the Aragalaya. China is controlling our Chinese engineered failure paradise. Their initial physical foothold in Hambantota has now spread to controlling many aspects including maintaining us in an enfeebled state

    Spartacus Wednesday, 14 December 2022 07:53 AM

    Isn't there one single hero in this country who can teach this rascal Modawansa and his crooked family that Sri Lankans had enough of them? Are we a nation of 100% cowards?

    Anura Nanayakkara Wednesday, 14 December 2022 08:02 AM

    What Wimal Wahansa said here is absolutely true. If guys like Wimal Wahansa were around GOTA at that time this would not have happened in this way , as guys like WIMAL Wahansa are pretty street smart than Gota.

    sanjeewa Wednesday, 14 December 2022 08:16 AM

    Citizens belongs to Sri Lanka, President belongs to USA. Gota is a US citizen. So, What is wrong his country's ambassadress controlling him for US national interests?

    Man Wednesday, 14 December 2022 09:08 AM

    Like you controlled with the world market plug, along with Rajapakshas'. The so called experienced man good in selling anything, in his hand like the DR Wijewardhana's property.

    Abd Wednesday, 14 December 2022 10:57 AM

    Swindling is not new to rajapakshs, they have been corrupt to core from very beginning,but situation risen, brought them to power, this guy decided to build up his fortune and joined them ignoring corrupt behavior, but anyone who come too closer end up like him

    Aquarius Wednesday, 14 December 2022 04:27 PM

    This man is a pseudo patriot and his tunes have changed like the wind. If he claims to be clean, he should tell Uttara Lanka followers and the people of Sri Lanka how he accumulated so much wealth during his various tenures in parliament. International conspiracies is his phobia to spread ethnic and religious divisions.

    Rattapakse Wednesday, 14 December 2022 04:31 PM

    Man, the country was experiencing civil war because we didn’t want share any with our fellow citizens. First we burned the business and properties of the Tamils and then we targeted the Islamic people. Now we are sending our poor women folks to Middle East for dollars and asking the Tamils to come back and invest. Are we not absolute fools to elect corrupt people like you to rule and ruin us. What a shame we listened to you to vote for an uneducated US citizen who fled the nation instead of standing firm. Much more worse things to come soon.

    Mike Revere Wednesday, 14 December 2022 06:03 PM

    If Ambassador prayed to God for GR, it is out of character for God to trap anyone. We are trapped by the cosequences of our own actions.

    It is silly religous type who make the mess Wednesday, 14 December 2022 08:45 PM

    Clearly you don't see the speaker ridiculing the God worshiping Catholics for being utter failures. God damn them.

    Hawkeye Thursday, 15 December 2022 02:14 AM

    Look who is trying to be Mr Clean? This guy and his wife and his whole gang looted the country and licked the boots of Rajapakse's and brought the country to its economic knees. STOP trying to preach- the only good thing you can do is do not even dream of even contesting the next elections because people have long memories.

    Anura Nanayakkara Thursday, 15 December 2022 07:41 AM

    Jayawewa Wimal Wahansa, you are absolutely correct on this issue. Lot of people do not know as to why Gothabhaya was so inactive during that period when Aragala karayan were right on President's front lawn. Gothabhaya been silenced by Julia Chung.

    GHT Sunday, 18 December 2022 07:28 PM

    People's power still remains with RAJAPAKSAS, no one could win the election but RAJAPAKSAS. This is not new for our people who understand the US conspiracy behind the issue that took place recently.
