Lankaenews reports that the TTD, Thirumala Thirupathi Devasthanam of Lord Balaji was involved in selling 350 tons of Gold belonging to Rjapakshe,President of Sri Lanka.
This, Rjapakshe is reported to have swindled.
It may be remembered that the Tamil Nadu Scribes were lathi charged in Thirupathi, when they tried to take photographs of Rajapakshe when he visited Thirupathi recently.
Mahinda Rajapakshe, President Sri Lanka.
The report also claims that he had a plan worked out to rig the Presidential election.
The e newspaper has published some documents in support of this.
Details of the Company reported to have bought illegal Gold from Rajapakshe .
Well, Karunanidhi might take a few lessons from Rajapakshe or has Rajapakshe had taken the advice from MK?
The Report.
Matsumuara’s Passport.
Rajapakse who has planned his fleeing the country , made a visit to the Thirupathy Temple(Kovil) immediately after handing over nominations not for paying homage , but to ensure the secret dispatch of the gold and monies , reports say. The Thirupathy Temple (Kovil) is well known world over for large collections of unofficial monies and gold. This Kovil lends monies even to the Indian government . At the same time it is involved in transfer of monies of multi -millionaires through the Undiyal system (illicit fund transfers). It is very evident that Rajapakse made a beeline to that Kovil for such an illicit transaction , that is ,out of love for money and not due to love for the deities , or to perform a genuine pilgrimage .
It is specially worthy of note that though Tissa Attanyake accompanied Mahinda , it was only the latter and Yoshitha, the son of Mahinda who went into the Kovil and met the Kovil bigwigs . Lanka e news is in possession of a wealth of information in this regard which will be released after 8 th January 2015….
The Rajapakse family had planned to flee the country in the event their conspiracies are unsuccessful . One of the conspiracy is to cause a bomb explosion in Colombo on the 6 th or 7 th of January 2015 , and blame it on the LTTE , with a view to earn the sympathy of the people and show that Mahinda Rajapkse had won by a majority of 300,000 votes , according to detailed reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division, and based on all the news garnered by our division.
It is the most infamous senior DIG Anura Senanayake who had undertaken this contract. Mahinda Balasuriya the secretary to the Ministry of law and order is also to render assistance to Senanayake , in addition to the Rajapakse regime ,to execute this plan, which information had unfortunately for the Rajapakses has leaked out already. It is significant to note that this plot of Anura Senanayake had not received any support from other DIGs as well as the IGP. Consequently , these vote rigging and election frauds planned by the regime have failed so far.
In like manner the conspiracy to rig votes has also been unsuccessful. Full information and details of rigging of election results and the methodologies to be adopted by the Rajapakse regime are in the possession of Lanka e news. According to these machinations , the final fraudulent election result is to be conveyed as though Mahinda has won the elections by 303,966 votes . (We have in our custody the concocted results on district basis that are to be conveyed to the people by the Rajapakse regime which we shall not reveal now, as that is too long and space consuming) . Sorry to state however, these riggings and frauds aimed at by the Rajapakse regime have not received any support from the elections commission secretariat, and these Rajapakse treacherous plans and manipulations have even been leaked out by them.
At any rate , at this forthcoming election , the opposition has taken a decision to operate an alternative (parallel) vote counting center to combat the regime’s fraudulent election practices and vote rigging , and prevent them. At the same time as the elections department is conducting the vote count , the opposition is to run the alternative (parallel) center for counting the votes with the aid of international sophisticated system and technology .
In the circumstances , since the Mahinda Rajapakse plans and plots to rig votes and commit election frauds in order to show to the people that he has won with a majority of 300,000 votes had turned into a damp squib so far , they have made arrangements to flee the country which is the only option left for them.
Based on informed sources of the Diplomatic circles , if Rajapakse regime team is unable to use the Sri Lankan planes ( which impediment it is naturally expecting) , the regime has already made arrangements with two Indian Charter plane companies to get down planes , for which the regime has paid in full to these companies.
One of these companies is ‘Air Charters India’ while the name of the other company is still not definitely known. The payments to these companies have been made by Sajin Vaas Gunawardena . (Sajin Vaas had flown to Singapore yesterday). ‘Air Charters India’ had informed that it must be notified at least 12 hours ahead if it is to send a plane to Katunayake or Mattala airport . In any case , payments have been made in full to two Indian charter companies in order that if one company fails to comply with the request urgently , the other company can be relied on as a stand by.
The Rajapakse family that is planning to make a bolt overseas has already sold 350 tons of gold in the country it has robbed , to a Japanese millionaire whose name is Keiji Matsumura . The latter representing a Japanese Company , Japuga Holdings Private Ltd. had bought the 350 tons gold. It is a Tamil national by the name of Rajgopal Kartheepan (identity card No. 8334333342 V) who has acted as a broker as his elder brother who lives in Switzerland had appointed Kartheepan to act on his behalf.
This quantity of gold had been illegally shipped via 16 containers loaded at the Colombo Port . Priyath Bandu Wickrema , the Ports chairman had seen to it this commodity is shipped without it being recorded in any of the registers. The cash amount realized by the Rajapakse family out of this shipment is US dollars 38000.00 per kilo . One ton is made up of 1000 kilos . Accordingly the total amount collected by the sale is US dollars 13,300 million..! and this transaction had taken place with the knowledge of HSBC bank.
“I got messages not to shoot those who are carrying white flags.
Tamils Herded and Shot by Lankan Security Forces.
A war is fought by soldiers.
They do so by putting their lives on the line.
Therefore, the decisions about war should be taken by the soldiers in the battlefront.
Not the people in air-conditioned rooms in Colombo.
Our soldiers have seen in life the kind of destruction carried out by those people before they decided to come carrying a white flag.
Therefore, they carried out their duties.
We destroyed any one connected with the LTTE. That is how we won the war.”
In 2011 General Fonseka was sentenced to three years in prison and fined Rs.5000 by a court for “propagating a false rumour’ in connection with the original Sunday Leader story.
This is what General Fonseka said on the killing of the LTTE cadres who negotiated a surrender and ane they approached the Lankan Army.
They were carrying the White Flag as a mark of Surrender.
They were shot dead.
In the din of the cry to prosecute the Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapakshe and his brother Godbaya Rajapakshe, Defense secretary who gave the
orders to shoot,the Vienna convention has been breached.
Why not ask for a Trail at least on this issue?
It is a different matter altogether that this is a retracted statement of Fonseka
Behind the scene manipulation of Rajapakshe, Gotabaya Rajapakshe follows in a separate Post.
Here is how they were shot shot dead.
“
“Last night’s toll of the dead is 3318 and of the injured more than 4000. It was a barrage of artillery, mortar, multi-barrel shelling and cluster bombs, weapons which Sri Lankan government denies using on the civilians in the no fire zone. The cries of woes and agony of the babies and children, the women and the elderly fill the air that was polluted by poisonous and unhealthy gases and pierced the hearts of fathers and mothers, of elders and peasants of old men and women of all walks of life. I am not unaware that this letter would arouse the wrath of the Sri Lankan government which will resort to the revenge by killing me.“
On 10th May 2009, a Catholic priest inside the war zone, Father Francis, wrote to the Pope in Rome describing what he was experiencing.Whi
“
At 0630 am on 18 May 2009, approximately twelve people left the bunkers carrying at least two white flags. All wore civilian clothing – the men were in white sarongs and shirts.
Witness 2 was lying on the embankment watching the surrender. He saw that the man carrying the white flag was Nadesan and he also identified Nadesan’s wife and Puidevan in this group.
The first batch to cross were met by two different teams of soldiers, including according to an eyewitness, the 58th Division Commander, Shavendra Silva (currently Sri Lanka’s deputy Permanent Representative at the UN in New York), who went up to greet them.
Several witnesses heard Nadesan’s wife shouting in Sinhala to the soldiers. One witness saw the men in the group had their hands held behind their backs by the soldiers though he couldn’t see if they were tied or handcuffed.
About twenty metres behind the first group, was the second one led by the police chief Illango (also
known as Ramesh) who was also carrying a white flag. Witness 3 was in this group. They passed many dead bodies and could hardly see the lagoon through the dense bushes. Witness 3 saw about 200 troops in the bushes. He then noticed the destroyed building surrounded by about 100 soldiers where Witness 1 was being detained. He confirmed seeing civilians inside this building.
The second group watched the first group approach the security forces. Witness 3 saw about 20-5 soldiers in uniform and armed with AK47 rifles surround the first group. He observed Pulidevan and Nadesan’s group being escorted across the bridge surrounded by soldiers.
Then his group was surrounded by armed soldiers. The police chief Illango spoke to the troops in Sinhala. Their group was surrounded and escorted in the same fashion across the bridge. Witness 3 was separated from the others and taken to a sentry post, interrogated and slapped and then loaded onto a bus and taken to a detention camp for former LTTE cadres…
Eyewitness 2
Witness 2 says about an hour or so after the surrender, he was on a dirt road parallel to the A35 highway and spotted the corpses of Pulidevan and Nadesan lying in a ditch by the roadside with soldiers standing around taking photographs. (see map)
“I instantly recognised the bodies of Pulideevan and Nadesan. I knew as soon as I looked at their bodies that they were dead. Both men were lying on their backs in the ditch…
Eyewitnesses say it was not just the LTTE political wing leaders who were targeted, but at least 102 other administrative, financial, political, humanitarian leaders of the LTTE, in addition to unarmed military wing cadres and non-combatants such as children who also surrendered later the same day. There were also other LTTE figures who surrendered in the days before and after 18 May who have disappeared or been killed in the custody of the Sri Lankan security forces.
It appears to have been part of a cold-blooded plan to wipe out any future Tamil representatives.
..
It is late at night, past midnight. Make a mental picture of this. Can you see them coming out with white flags in this dense jungle in pitch darkness? The situation was that some terrorist cadres counter-attacked. Prabhakaran was trying to break out and escape to the lagoon, his son went in another direction. At the same time 10,000 surrendered cadres came down from one side. In this kind of situation in the thick of battle, can you expect a young recruit, barely a month into battle, to recognise a senior LTTE cadre and make a decision as to shoot him selectively or spare him?”
SRI Lanka’s army was yesterday pushing ahead warily in its advance on the Tamil Tiger stronghold of Jaffna city, fearful of rebel ambushes and possible chemical weapon attacks. Aid workers said the army could move into the city within hours if it wanted to after a mass exodus of tens of thousands of rebels and civilians had left it a virtual ghost town. But a suspicious military said yesterday it sensed that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam were preparing a trap. “They may have tried to depopulate Jaffna so that they can use chemical weapons when our troops move in,” a senior military officer said. The rebels used chlorine gas to attack troops in 1990 during a failed attempt to overrun an army camp, but caused no harm. The officer said the army was taking the chemical weapon threat seriously and had distributed gas masks to some of the troops. Government forces have been within 8km of Jaffna city for the past few days and yesterday the LTTE said from their London office that battles were raging at the town of Urumpirai, just 3km from Jaffna’s municipal limits. According to the military the army’s new defence lines are about 7km from Jaffna’s municipal limits. Sri Lankan military officials have warned that minefields, booby-traps and ambushes may await them. “We should be able to move in quickly if there is no resistance,” a military official said. “But we’re obviously going to be careful of walking into a trap.” A top-level military source even suggested that moving into Jaffna right now might not be the objective, despite the two-week push towards the city. “There could be changes in strategy,” he said, echoing some diplomats’ view that little would be gained in taking Jaffna when it could prove difficult to hold. Rebel resistance to the army’s two-pronged advance crumbled on Monday after troops captured Neerveli, 10km northeast of Jaffna. The Government yesterday ordered schools across the country closed after saying threats had been issued against children. In Delhi, India, the Tigers’ chief theoretician, Mr Anton Balasingham, said in an interview published yesterday that a guerilla campaign would be maintained if Jaffna fell to government forces. “Even if they take over Jaffna, it will not be a military success,” he said. “The (Sri Lankan) north-east is a vast area and our guerilla movement cannot be crushed in conventional battle. “The Lankan forces can take over the territory, but they cannot hold on. We will strike back,” he told the weekly news magazine Outlook. In Geneva, the World Council of Churches appealed for intervention by a neutral government such as Norway or Australia to relaunch peace efforts. The council’s secretary-general, Mr Konrad Raiser, who has returned from a visit to India where he met Sri Lankan religious leaders, has called on the Colombo Government and Tamil rebels to resume talks broken off earlier this year.
Voice of America reports on Sri Lanka’s disinformation campaign…
November 28, 1995
“The Sri Lankan Government is waging a propaganda war to complement its military offensive. Correspondent Michael Drudge reports from Colombo that truth has become one of the war’s victims. Media observers say Sri Lankan television has begun resorting to disinformation in its reporting on the war against Tamil Tiger guerrillas.
A Government television news broadcast Monday quoted Tamil Tiger Commander saying the military take over of the northern Jaffna peninsula was a serious set back for the rebel movement. In truth Commander Prabhakaran called the loss of Jaffna only a temporary set back.
The Government newscast said Commander Prabhakaran’s reference to peace negotiations was a sign of Tamil Tiger weakness. In reality, he simply rejected any negotiation as long as the army occupies Jaffna.Observers say the television newscast was but the latest instance of government media officials hedging the truth.
The military press office on Saturday issued a statement that the Tamil Tigers had used gas on troops, implying it was a chemical weapons attack. Only later did military sources admit the gas in question had been tear gas.The government continues to ban reporters from the northern war zone. The state information department hands out video and still photographs produced by the Sri Lankan army. Information is provided by fax.The government is also forbidding reporters to visit camps where hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled to escape the fighting.
Sri Lanka media are subject to military censorship. The local cable operator even blacks out stories about Sri Lanka that appear on foreign television channels.”
Weapons of Minimum Destruction
August 19, 2004
The Tamil Tigers’ use of chemicals angered some of their support base.
Rapoport says that terrorist use of chemical and biological weapons is similar to state use – in that it is rare and, in terms of causing mass destruction, not very effective. He cites the work of journalist and author John Parachini, who says that over the past 25 years only four significant attempts by terrorists to use WMD have been recorded. The most effective WMD-attack by a non-state group, from a military perspective, was carried out by the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka in 1990. They used chlorine gas against Sri Lankan soldiers guarding a fort, injuring over 60 soldiers but killing none.
The Tamil Tigers’ use of chemicals angered their support base, when some of the chlorine drifted back into Tamil territory – confirming Rapoport’s view that one problem with using unpredictable and unwieldy chemical and biological weapons over conventional weapons is that the cost can be as great ‘to the attacker as to the attacked’. The Tigers have not used WMD since.
Sri Lanka: LTTE warns against use of “Chemical Weapons”
August 17, 2001
COLOMBO. The LTTE today accused Sri Lanka of purchasing a banned chemical weapon and warned of “dangerous consequences” if it was inducted in the battlefields of northeastern Sri Lanka. The LTTE statement appeared to be referring to the Russian- manufactured RPO-A Shmel rocket launcher without naming it. The Sunday Leader newspaper reported this week that the Government had purchased 1,000 units of the weapon.
The Sri Lankan Army spokesman, Brig. Sanath Karunaratne, confirmed the purchase of the Shmel, but denied it was a chemical weapon or that it was banned.
The RPO-A Shmel is a rocket-propelled incendiary/blast projectile launcher whose warhead contains a “thermobaric” flammable mixture, that is, it simulates high pressure conditions when detonated in enclosed structures and in the open.
The use of this weapon by the Russian Army in Chechnya came in for strong criticism by the human rights groups.
Described as a “bunker buster”, the shoulder-fired weapon uses a fuel-air explosive warhead that is most destructive when detonated inside structures, killing living beings through suffocation and burns, but also causes death and destruction over wide areas.
“We are perturbed over reports that the Sri Lanka Government has purchased new infantry weapon system with chemical warheads… The acquisition of this banned weapon by Sri Lanka marks a new and dangerous escalation of the armed conflict in the island”, the LTTE statement declared.
The decision by the Sri Lankan Government to introduce mass destruction technology into the northeast theatre of the conflict was a reflection of its single-minded determination to continue with the military option and escalate the war against the Tamil people, the LTTE said.
Tamil Tigers ready to attack Sri Lankan forces with toxic weapons
July 12, 2006
COLOMBO: Hidden in the jungles of Vanni, a toxicological laboratory of the Tamil Tigers is manufacturing their ‘special weapon’, as described by Anton Balasingham earlier, to attack the Sri Lankan Government forces located in Jaffna. Prof. Peter Chalk of Queensland University (now attached to Rand Corporation as an expert on terrorism) told an audience in Melbourne that the LTTE is the first known terrorist group to use chemical weapons.
Prof. Chalk, a leading expert on Tamil Tigers strategies, said that the Tigers fired a ‘chemical’ into an army camp in one of its early offensives. Ironically, it backfired because the winds brought most of it back and deposited the chemical on the LTTE side.
Reports leaking out from Vanni reveal that the LTTE has now increased the potency of this “secret weapon” and also improved the method of delivering it to selected targets. The new chemical weapon is designed to stun the victims. If it is targeted on Sri Lankan Army camps with a total of nearly 40,000 troops, it could easily immobilize the forces, according to informed sources in London.
Balasingham has informed groups raising funds in UK that the LTTE is now armed with a “special weapon” to launch its next major assault on Jaffna. As any major offensive against Jaffna is bound to cost the Tigers heavily in manpower their new strategy is to use the “special weapon” that would immobilize the Sri Lankan forces before a counter-offensive could be launched to attack the LTTE. The LTTE objective in using this chemical weapon is to minimize losses to their cadres.
Reports from Vanni claim that the Tamil Tigers have almost completed the production of this “special weapon” in sufficient quantities to launch their next offensive. The production was carried out in a toxicological laboratory housed in two floors underground. It is protected by a three-storied building above-ground. Reports also state that this is the tallest building in the Vanni constructed under the direct supervision of Velupillai Prabhakaran.
The sources further revealed that technicians and engineers were brought from Punjab, India for the construction. Pro-LTTE Sri Lankan chemical experts and engineers who worked in Western countries are said to be the brains behind the building of the lab as well as the toxicological products.
A hedge fund trader from New York who migrated from Vadamarachchy has made generous contribution towards the constructions of the building which would also double as ordnance factory. He is married to a Punjabi.
The LTTE was thrown out of Jaffna by the Sri Lankan Army led by Maj-Gen Janaka Perera in 1995. The Tigers withdrew into the jungles of Vanni and since then they have been plotting and planning to recapture Jaffna without success. Both sides are aware that the next war, when it comes, is going to be costly to both sides. With the international forces ranged against them the LTTE is making a bid to make their attack short and swift by engaging in “chemical warfare.”
Analysts believe that this is a huge gamble, which may backfire on the LTTE. Velupillai Prabhakaran is already on the international list of wanted criminals. A mug shot of his is posted in Interpol list of wanted criminals. India too is facing internal pressures to extradite him for the killing of Rajiv Gandhi.
If he resorts to “chemical warfare” he will seal his fate as a war criminal hunted by the international community which has banned such warfare since World War I. Besides, the international community fighting a global war against terror will consider this new “chemical warfare” as opening new leads for other terrorists to follow. LTTE terror technologies (example: suicide kit tied to the body) have been the models for other terrorists to follow.
Chemical Weapon Story a Concoction: LTTE
July 14, 2006
The LTTE yesterday strongly rejected media reports which suggested it possessed chemical war fare weapons and was even prepared to use it against the government security forces in the event an all out war were to resume once again.
LTTE Batticaloa political leader Daya Mohan told the Daily Mirror he was not authorised to comment on such issues on behalf of the LTTE but insisted the rebels would never go against UN protocols on the use of chemical weapons.
‘We will never go against UN protocols on the use of chemical warfare. The report you mentioned is not factually correct,’ Mr. Mohan said.
The rebel district leader was responding to an Asian Tribune website report which suggested the LTTE had in its possession a new chemical weapon designed to stun the victims and if it was targeted on Army camps with a total of nearly 40,000 troops, it could easily immobilize the forces.
The government meanwhile said it would not rule out the possibility of the LTTE possessing chemical weapons although there was no evidence to substantiate such claims.
‘Taking the history of terrorists it remains a possibility that the Asian Tribune report may be true. As a government we are not ruling it out,’ Defence Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella told the Daily Mirror.
He said as a Defence measure the government would ensure it was prepared to face the eventuality of the LTTE resorting to chemical warfare in the future.
The Asian Tribune report quoted a terrorism expert as saying the LTTE had on one occasion made a failed attempt to use a chemical weapon while it added that the LTTE theoretician Anton Balasingham had informed groups raising funds in Britain that the LTTE was now armed with a `special weapon` to launch its next major assault on Jaffna.
Excerpts from “Toxic Warfare,” by Theodore Karasik
Many recent incidents of toxic warfare have involved poisoning with chemicals, sewage, or pesticides. All these substances can be used to interfere with military operations, disrupt the functioning of civilian infrastructure, cause physical harm, and instill fear among the general
1 Episodes of poisoning have a long history in toxic warfare. In 1986, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) poisoned tea with potassium cyanide in an effort to cripple the Sri Lankan tea export industry.2

Sri Lanka
During the 1990s, the LTTE used chemical waste to attack industrial facilities on several occasions as a means of creating confusion at strategic points. In November 1995, LTTE forces launched a gas attack on Sri Lankan troops in a bid to lift a siege on the rebel bastion of Jaffna, sparking heavy battles that left 84 dead on both sides. The toxic attack was the first since 1990, when the LTTE fired chlorine gas cylinders into a besieged military camp near Batticaloa on the east coast.19 In 2001, Tamil rebels attacked the Bandaranaike International Airport and military base with mortars. The first wave of attacks, launched at 3:30 a.m., targeted industrial and fuel facilities at the airport to create a fire and smoke diversion, while a second wave of mortars was aimed at both commercial and military aircraft. The resulting damage claimed 12 aircraft, costing millions of dollars, and closed the airport for a day.20

LTTE Sea and Land Attacks
The Tamil Sea Tigers (LTTE)35 have used smoke and vapors both to create casualties and to cause deception, sometimes through elaborately staged or sophisticated means. In September 2001, the Tamil Sea Tigers attacked Bandaranaike Airport, destroying half of the Sri Lankan air fleet and causing millions of dollars of damage. Included was an attack on the airport’s fuel depot that was aimed at spreading smoke and vapors.36 The attack was intended to produce—and indeed resulted in—a spectacular mess that destroyed the fuel depot while also causing confusion and eventual military operations. One month later, in October 2001, a suicide squad from the LTTE sea forces attacked the MV Silk Pride at sundown as the ship approached the Haffna peninsula. The oil tanker, carrying 225 tons of low-sulfur diesel, 160 tones of kerosene oil, and 275 tons of auto diesel, caught on fire.37 LTTE fighters later participated in yet another toxic attack in an effort to interrupt Sri Lanka’s economy.38

Excerpt for “Die and Let Die: Exploring Links between Suicide Terrorism and Terrorist Use of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Weapons” by Adam Dolnik
LTTE has a history of involvement with chemical agents on several levels. In 1986, the group claimed to have poisoned Sri Lankan Tea with potassium cyanide, but no evidence of contamination was found.62During 1990, the group was suspected of using poison on several occasions, among them an armed assault with knives soaked in a liquid containing cyanide poison,63 and the use of landmines equipped with cyanide capsules.64During the same year, the group did in fact use a chemical weapon, when large amounts of chlorine gas were deliberately disseminated by wind in an assault on a besieged military camp at Kiran.65The number of casualties of this attack is unknown. Evidence suggests that during 1990 the LTTE was facing a great shortage of conventional arms, forcing them to use improvised weapons. Because all allegations of the group’s involvement with CBRN agents fall into this time frame, it appears that the LTTE tried to use chemicals to substitute for limited conventional capability, as opposed to escalating their struggle in terms of the number of casualties.

This has never been a secret. There is an antique store called Ganapathi in Orbassano, Italy, Sonia’s native place.
The shop is owned by her relatives. Her smuggling activities began during Indira Gandhi‘s premiership when Sonia was only Mrs Rajiv Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi an illiterate housemaid coming from a poor Italian mason’s family, money making was the first criteria, when she married Rajiv
. She never had education, but had herself certified as an art expert, which gave her the opportunity to certify Indian artifacts, as to which were museum pieces and which were not.
Election Commissioner Navin Chawla’s wife Rupika Chawla not only helped Sonia, but has even supplied Indian antiques to Sonia for smuggling in to Italy.
Sonia was close to Cultural Attache at the Italian Embassy and he used to smuggle artifacts via diplomatic courier bags which escaped customs inspection.
This Cultural Attache was later withdrawn by the Italian Government
. Antique smuggling and money laundering by Sonia with LTTE help was going on since 1984.
Boyfriend Quattrocchi,wanted in Bofors, was buying arms from Phuket, Thailand for LTTE. Rajiv killing by LTTE if probed further by CBI-led MDMA, of Jain Commission would have revealed the conspiracy with LTTE in the assassination of Rajiv killing.
Sonia systematically plundered and exported the ancient treasures of India, especially temple sculptures of Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, Mughal paintings and precious gems in Indian Museums, all protected and banned from export under the Antiquities and Art Treasures Act, 1972
The CBI had in 1993 registered cases on such illegal exports from a Chennai suburb to an identified person in Italy. Festival of India was used as a ploy to smuggle out treasures.
In this Sonia took the help Arjun Singh while he was MP, CM, art expert Martand Singh, a Pakistani couple Muneer and Farida Attaullah, London based Pakistani ISI fixer Salman Thassir a prince of Kuwait, and even the LTTE.
Quattrocchi the Italian rogue was right hand man for Rajiv Gahdi. Rajiv Gandhi used to send faxes of cabinet decisions to Win Chadda which was seen by every one.
Annual holidays and even weekly holidays are spend together by Quattrocchi family and Sonia family together. quattrocchi was arrested on 6th Feb 2007 and yet the news has come out on 23-2-2007.
Sonia with the help of CBI and our tainted judges is trying to cover up the biggest theft of public money by Rajiv gandhi. Sonia bofors frozen money in the bank to her boy friend. Yet the media was silent”
Now there is news that Indian Officials did not follow-up the lead.
Implications?
Rebuttal of this allegation is welcome and there seems to be no rebuttals as on Date.
The Toledo Museum of Art has a mea culpa page on its website. Following widespread coverage of the Kapoor case in the media in India as well in the US, the museum has declared that it had bought eight items including a dancing Ganesha idol most likely belonging to Sripuranthan. The webpage acknowledges that similarities exist between the idol in its possession and the photograph of the idol sent by Tamil Nadu police.
But to set its record straight, the museum has said that it wrote to the Indian Consulate General in New York in 2013 requesting their assistance in establishing the true provenance of the Ganesha idol. It sent a letter to S Jaishankar, the Ambassador of India, asking for his assistance in February 16, 2014, but hasn’t heard back from Indian officials so far.
The lack of response from Indian consular officials is only a part of the red tape that needs to be cut to bring back the Kapoor treasures. The Tamil Nadu police here have a l s o b e e n bogged down by internal delays . Officials express frustration at the bureaucratic delays involved in reaching their letters of rogatory to the concerned parties. A senior police officer said: “Every letter prepared by CID’s idol wing police personnel in the state is forwarded to the Interpol division of CBI in Delhi.

Navneetham Pillai stated that , on her visit to Sri Lanka some time back, British PM Cameron was prevented from visiting th site and the Tamils mobbed him and reported to him the atrocities committed, she was not given enough co-operation by the Sri Lankan Government and that a case exists for an International Probe for War Crimes by Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka promptly rejected her statement.
Earlier the Sri Lanka Minister abused her stating that he was ready to marry her!
‘“I urge her to join me to go on a trip around the country. I would teach her the history of Sri Lanka, I would tell her about Maha Ravana. It was we who gave Kuweni in marriage to Prince Wijaya and if Madam Pillay is agreeable I am ready to marry her even tomorrow,” he said.
He made these remarks addressing a public meeting in Maradana, Colombo today.
“We are a nation that wore garments prior to the white man, and I will teach Madam Pillay a bit of our history. We were a nation which conducted trade with the world during the era before Christ. In order to do a study on our nation she has to visit Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Ruhuna. We are a nation that built a flying machine (Dandu monara- a mythological flying machine) before Wilber t and Orville Wright,” he said.
He further said the country today was free of the clutches of terrorism due to the steadfastness of the Rajapaksas and it was the President who led the country to both the defeat of terrorism and peaceful co- existence among communities.’
Now that the US is planing to table a resolution to censure Sri Lanka and initiate action to institute an International Enquiry into the mass killing of the Tamils, the Sri Lanka Government is on the offensive mode with the Sri Lanka Media joining the chorus.
A dampener to them has come in the way of a family ploughing their backyard and stumbling across a mass grave.
”
This incident was registered after two remains exhumed while a house owner ploughed the backyard.
Dr S Sivaruban, the Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) of Jaffna Teaching hospital has stated that the majority of the skeletons were female.
The clothes of the remains have been decomposed, however pieces of Nylon and a National Identity Card were recovered from the grave, he revealed.
Dr. Sivaruban further stated that the residents of the area mentioned that Moonkilaru village faced an artillery attack in 2009.
In an inquiry made by ‘BBC Sandeshaya’ Media Spokesman for the Police, SSP Ajith Rohana has stated that the area was under the rule of LTTE for over 20 years.
The parts of skeleton are being subjected to further investigations, he added.’
