Fonseka planned Russian style coup
.jpg)
The government today revealed that there was an attempt by General Sarath Fonseka to stage a 'Russian style' coup against the government following the recent Presidential elections.
Cabinet Spokesperson and Media and Information Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, speaking to reporters claimed that Fonseka had plans to appoint ‘Bolshevik Committees’ at every state institution to carry out routine work after assassinating President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his bothers Gotabhaya Rajapakse and Basil Rajapakse.
The government had already arrested several people including some ex-military officers over their alleged involvement in the coup attempt. (SAJ)

Yet another sequel to a popular movie after "Conspiracy Theory". This one is to be called "Russian Roulette - 2". Even a lie repeated ad nauseum looks like the truth to those who propagate it and their blind followers who only watch and listen to disinformation disseminated by the State Media. Go on, at this rate we might come up with an award winning script for an Oscar award.

He must be accountable for coup crime and also to Hi corp commission crime.
This can not be simply let out.
The biggest cirme is betryaing our forces by bogus alligation of white flag stroy.
He must produce before military court and meet out maximum punishment.88 27
Friday, 05 February 2010 08:56 AM
Just wondering why SF is not arrested yet if he was planning a coup while so many other ex military officers are arrested for their alleged involvement .

The Only honourable thing SF can now do is ADMIT HIS STUPIDITY AND APOLIGISE TO THE PRESIDENT AND ASK FOR HIS PARDON.
HE MUST DROP HIS INFLATED EGO NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
OTHERWISE HE MAY GO "TROPPO"89 34

Ya Right! If he wanted to do that, he could have done it earlier! Why so much unprofessional and uneducated statements on him, specialy by the government? They are guilty and try their very best to make SF stay away from the whole scene, so that they can do what ever they want. Wha a Shame!!!

Friday, 05 February 2010 09:40 AM
If government know this then why dont they arrest SF
6 22
Friday, 05 February 2010 09:42 AM
Today MR is the president of SL and throughout the election campaign he managed to land 6 million voters by spreading these baseless propaganda.
90 percent of those 6 million voted NOT based on MR's manifesto, economic policies or good governance. Those are 'Thank you' votes or victims of false propaganda similar to this. But I don't call them as 'traitors' as we are in a democratic society, so we should be able to vote whoever we think is the best for the job.
If SL governement has hard evidence on this why don't they arrest culprits, after all MR won by 1.8million majority.5 21
Friday, 05 February 2010 09:42 AM
This is another blaten lie to divert the current situation. If he wanted to have a coup he would have done it long long time ago. He is a General with principle and disipline.

Except for assassinating the President and his brother, the Bolshevik style committees at our state institutions may be a good idea. These places might finally get their act together in such an event.

what a Joke MR ?
6 23
Friday, 05 February 2010 10:37 AM
First of all it was not a coup, and I dont think SF had idea of even arresting MR and brothers, forget about killing them.
Bolshevik committee??? yes, but dont call it a Bolshevik commitee, it would be Presidental Commitee.
He had idea of putting a presidental commitee to every state institution, to oversee the corruption of ministers and as far as public is concerned it is a good idea because ministers dont have free ride with money. SF knew ministers will be corrupted politicians from whom he got support. so he wanted to put an end to corruption. I think that was a JVP idea.
the government should not come down to this level of misguiding public, by doing so ,they are doing more harm to the country.
MR won, SF lost that is all, the country has to move on, whoeve deserve will come to power next.3 23

It is very easy to mislead uneducated poor people in Sri Lanka. Could any one imagine why SF did not do this while he was in the army. Why he resigned from his post to become a politician. No one can lie for ever. One day people will realise the truth.
7 41
Friday, 05 February 2010 11:09 AM
no coup please. even corrupted democracy is good. If govenment militarising the politics this would be the result. Fonseka spoke politics when he was in military. that time itself, ranil ponted out this. but same Ranil joint fonseka. UNP should contest itself, without fonseka this problem would not arise. It was a foolish thing to allow fonseka as common condidate. even fonseka not intend to do coup. it was totally wrong foolish Ranil allowed fonseka as common condidate. Ranil Please think now. be a stong leader. do not be a dance for all the tunes. we need stong govenment ans stong opposition in a democracy. no fonseka.

Very true! A few days after May 19th, when the whole country, including the 300,000 displaced victims, are breathing a long sigh of relief and the armed forces were buoyant and really geed up, I'm sure SF only had to say the word. It would have been a perfectly bloodless take over. He didn't ; because he was an Officer and a true patriotic gentleman. For that, the people are paying a heavy price.

Just like the government is asking proof of voting irregularities. The govt should provide proof of all these conspiracy and coup stories. So please stop trying to fool everyone. You can fool the man in the village but the city folk are too wise for your foolishness. But u would not worry about people like us, since the villagers are foolish enough to still worship you.

Thought this is going to be an action story. Now this minister has spoiled the whole thing and it is going to be a comedy. Mr. Yapa this is very cheap quality and immatured stuff coming from a government minister.

SF is a honest , straight forward person. That is why in advance he said , Police officers or who ever who brake rules will be punished once he come into power. That is to discipline them before they do it. If he was a real culprit he would have kept everything in his mind and taken revenge. Don't you all know those who openly talk do not act that way and those who do not openly talk act behind the backs.
