LOL – now look at the SPIN Doctors talking about how it must be the GoSL who killed Jeyaraj…

The LTTE Killed Jayaraj,…look on the Net and you can find the pictures of the Head of the Suicide bomber…

But the reality is that Jeyaraj was a Sri Lankan first and then a Tamil… He opposed the LTTE, and they hated him because he proved to other Tamils that the LTTE’s whole reason for fighting – that Tamils could not Succeed in Sri Lanka – was a Load of BULL…and he was living proof of that! So was Laksman Kadirgamar and that is why the LTTE killed him too…

Tamils, killing Tamils….. the saga continues…

I agree with comment #11 regarding the eye witness account. It looks like the eye witness account was deliberately ignored!!

To suggest that Basil Rajapakse had motive, and the LTTE didn’t, is to grasp at straws.

The LTTE will never, ever, pass on an opportunity to cross a name off the list and the video shows the extent of the opportunity created by Fernandopulle’s negligence.

Yes, he will be missed by his family but is it a big loss to the country? Probably not, considering that he was as much a thug as any seasoned Sri Lankan politician.

Nor is his loss a big blow to Rajapakse, who knows that there is always another standing in line to swear allegiance to the throne.

Rajapakse, like Prabhakaran, knows the value of not letting any of the stars around him shine too brightly, for too long. Thamilchelvam’esque conspiracy theories aside, Rajapakse will take this loss in his stride.

The LTTE benefitted by Jeyaraj Fernandopulle’s impolite attitude toward the IC. So, why would the LTTE bother to kill him?

Late Jeyaraj Fernandopulle was an obstacle for the Rajapaksa family become a Political Dynasty in Sri Lanka.

A few months ago, the President had asked for the consent of the late Highways Minister Fernandopulle to combine the High Way ministry project implemented under the Ministry of Nation Building and Infrastructure Development which is under Basil Rajapaksa.

Fernandopulle had told he would resign from the post of Minister of Highways only if the Ministry of Ports and Civil Aviation is given to him in return. But Rajapaksa refused it.

Jeyaraj Fenandopulle is one of the senior party member
and has great talents in answering questions to opposition in the parliament, He is a Lawyer by
profession and Chief Organizer of the ruling party.

Next to Rajapaksa, Mithiripala Srisena, Nimal Sripala
De Silva, Jeyaraj Fenando Pulle are in line for the throne.

These are obvious hindrance for Basil who vehemently wants to be the next President.

There were eye witness claimed that a parcel bomb was thrown at him. But no investigation done on that angle and the GOSL without proper investigation claimed it was outrightly a suicide bomb. Perhaps it is a planned cover up.

The Video shown does not support the Suicide claim.

Now the president is not at home, even he has no plan to postpone his trip and stay back for his ‘right-hand man’ he gone to his big brother.
By the way, whenever, a Tamil politician due for a prominent place in the ruling party they seem to disappear soon. Mystery huh?

Most of above comments by Tamils demonstrate their expert, accurate & analytical capability. May be that’s why VP has become so powerful leader among Tamils. Truth is out there. All the best guys!!

Col R Hariharan, “The President is unlikely to let the LTTE get away with the assassination of his right hand man. We can expect him to unleash the security forces in full force once again on the LTTE forward defences..”

So all theis time the Prsident was holding back was he!!??

Based on the evidence avaiable and the motive behind
the killings point the finger at Basil Rajapaksa who was
feuding with him for power long time.
