The second in command in Yahapalanaya is said to be highly concerned over the lack of alertness on the part of the high ups in charge of foreign affairs, they say.  A recent event has made him believe that the officials both white collar and political do not keep a finger on the pulse of international developments having a bearing on this country.


A matter related to the LTTE had come up for discussion in the British law making body recently and certain views prejudicial to the country had been expressed by some law makers. However, both our envoy in Britain and the local foreign affairs mandarins had been completely in the dark about this event, according to a report received by the second in command’s office in Colombo. 

Those responsible for this lapse are to be asked to explain and this affair has placed the foreign boss Mangi also in an uncomfortable situation, informed sources say.
