The present Commander of the Air Force is Sudarshana Pathirana. He is due to retire in a few days. There were various reports that he was aware of the May 9 attack as well as his involvement in it, and a customized photo with his photo was circulated on the internet.
A joint statement issued by the main body of the United Nations Human Rights Commission on the 14th stated that the incident will be reported on the 9th of May, following the human rights session to be held in September. It also states that those responsible must be held accountable.
It is said that a state of emergency was declared in Sri Lanka on May 9. If the state of emergency had been imposed, the Secretary of Defense, the Commander of the Army, the Commander of the Air Force, the Commander of the Navy and the Inspector General of Police would have been held responsible. That joint announcement is an announcement that cannot be taken lightly. There may be no one to rescue the security chiefs and even arrest warrants may be issued for them.
The political as well as responsible public administration officials of the country are responsible for the current situation in Sri Lanka. Those who are in active service as well as those who retired many years ago are the ones who are naturally punished for this situation. We reported about the super car that was brought to the Sri Lanka Air Force without a dollar about a few months ago. Another media outlet had inquired about the importation of the vehicle from the Air Force Media Director and he had stated that the vehicle had been imported for the service of the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces.
We have also received a video of a house in the Galkanda area in Negombo which is said to be the house of the wife of the Commander of the Air Force Sudharshana Pathirana and all the activities are carried out by Air Force personnel. But we refrain from publishing it because we still need to make sure that the house belongs to his wife.
An Air Force persone said the vehicle had not yet been sent to a peacekeeping unit. If so, for whom was such a vehicle worth around Rs. 419 lakhs brought to the Sri Lanka Air Force? We also have evidence that the money was paid from public funds. It goes without saying that if the military leaders wereted public money, it would show that many of those who do not care about the country have the traits of foxes who wear uniforms and commit frauds, corruption as well as irregularities and wear the uniform of the country.
Also in the Sri Lanka Air Force in the recent past, many airmen as well as air women have been fired for violating the law as well as basic human rights and the Constitution. It is reported that there is also a Legal Director of the Sri Lanka Air Force. However, during the tenure of the Leagle as Director, hundreds of Air Force personnel were illegally removed from the Air Force. However, although we have received a list of 13 officers who were suspected of consuming cannabis during the last corona season, they have been suppressed by the Commander Sumangala Dias. However, a number of airmen who had been named on suspicion of the same offense had been forcibly evicted after obtaining a statement. By the police, who have no legal knowledge of that chief director of discipline. We are already planning to publish them separately. We have a lot of written information that the same legal director treats his loyal officers in one way, non-loyalists in another and airmen in another.
The Air Force is riddled with lawless leaders who commit many atrocities, including unfair promotions, unfair transfers, and personal revenge. The majority of senior military officers who do not allow promotions as well as promotions and lower ranks to perform their duties honestly commit various frauds and corruption. Full reports on how they do it are going to be published in the future for all of us to know.
We have received a large number of frauds, corruption and irregularities from some officers in the Air Force, Army, Navy as well as the Police Department. Looking at them, one day a Parliamentary Select Committee or a Presidential Commission of Inquiry will have to be appointed to find and punish those responsible. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
With the appointment of a new Army Commander, the plans to remove the Director of Army Intelligence were announced on the 14th of this month. All Army Chiefs should be aware that if members of a country’s security forces perform unsatisfactory work, it is a serious threat to the country’s national security as well.
