Colombo Mayor A.J.M. Muzammil said yesterday no one could fool Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa and that the people who had tried to do so had had fallen by the wayside.

“I have argued with several people clamoring to thank Mr. Rajapaksa. I know that no one can fool him, there was a general who tried it and now he is nowhere,” he said.

Mr. Muzammil made these remarks in the presence of Mr. Rajapaksa during the ceremony at the BMICH for the people of Kompannaweediya who are being affected by the ongoing development work in the area.

The Mayor made these remarks after the opposition UPFA members stole the mace of the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) yesterday in protest to the Mayor rejecting a proposal to thank the Secretary of Defence. (Hafeel Farisz)

Gota is the greatest Sinhala hero next to King Mahinda. It was Gota who got his brother to appoint Fonseka to the army commanders post and appointed equally capable people to head the Navy and the Air Force. He is the war strategist whose efforts finished off the Tiger Terrorists. All SriLankans should be eternaly greatful to him. While Fonseka led the ground troops as per Goths plans the Airforce bombed the Tiger bunkers and Camps and the Navvy blocked the sea routes so no arms could reach the Tigers and no tigers could escape by sea. All three forces under Gota collected the job. Anyone who says otherwise is a traitor or a Tiger supporter. Any Sinhalese who insult Gota is a traitor to the motherland

Politics has no principles. Politicians have to bend in the direction of the power, just like the trees that bend towards the wind. After all it is the survival that matters not integrity. Politics is a profitable business that demands thuggery, ruthlessness, shrewdness and above all annihilation of ones consciousness.

General is folled by many people no issue about that, Gota is a person with a strong character and no doubt he is the architect of the War. So Mr. Muzammil is very correct no one can lay stones on the way of Gota is keep going. As Sri true Lankans Mr. Muzammil and we have to support him and the Government for a better future.
God bless Lanka Matha!!!

There was a saying going the rounds at one time that the muslims always turn towards the side the "kurunjan" in their fez cap turns. This is one vivid example.

Near 2 million sri lankans in the mid east are the biggest money earners for this country bypassing all exports, but the muslims in this country are trampled and trodden by all regimes, all because of fools like him and the other so called leaders of the community!

Those who make nasty remarks against Gota are the ones who supported SF during Prez Election. Now see what SF has done. He created more cracks in the opposition & the "Patriotic JVP clowns" are going to Socialism on Double Cabs.

Andy Well said. Mussa also should get in the suitcase and go with Gotha. who is a big cheat, as he is keeping dual citizenship and will run away when the time comes leaving all the suckers behind to fend for themselves. With an Us passport he is free to enter any country that excepts ammericans so he knows where his bread is buttered, unlike the other foos who he is fooling.
