Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse had summoned the State intelligence service (SIS) new Director DIG Chandana Wickremeratne and bitterly castigated him over the violent scenes at Katunayake yesterday, during the protests staged by workers of the Katunayake trade zone. The defense Secretary who is smarting under the assaults launched on the higher rung police officers had blamed the intelligence service for non reporting about such a protest demonstration.
The defense Secretary had questioned whether the SIS officers have not crept into the trade zones and mingled with the workers. He had told them to do so at least now. He had instructed that the SIS officers infiltrate into the unions of the Railways, CTB, Ceylon Petroleum Corporation , SL Telecom , Ceylon electricity Board and nurses .
The pro regime media states that the police had attacked the workers without taking instructions from the Defense Secretary and action is therefore to be take against the officers for abusing the Leaders’s powers
8 more were shot with live bullets by regime police of Mahinda Rajapakse but regime is now had arrested 2 Police Officers in order to get away(/avoid) from any international pressure and human rights violation issues.
