A deeply troubling day for the Sri Lanka Army and its Intelligence Corps. The arrest of Major General Suresh Sallay, an officer widely associated with the dismantling of the LTTE’s intelligence network, intelligence operations that led to the targeting of senior leadership including Tamilchelvan, and efforts connected to the apprehension of KP, raises serious concerns about the direction in which our national discourse is heading.

These were officers who once placed their lives on the line to protect the nation during its most dangerous years. Today, many feel that those same individuals are being drawn into a political battlefield shaped less by evidence and more by competing narratives. Accountability under the law is essential in any democracy, but it must be pursued with fairness, restraint, and respect for institutional integrity.

The Easter Sunday tragedy deserved a professional, evidence based inquiry focused on justice for victims and national security. Instead, what we increasingly witness is the transformation of a complex investigation into a public spectacle. International cooperation, including the extensive involvement of the FBI and U.S. authorities, has already taken place with investigations, prosecutions, and assistance provided. When even external partners indicate that further probes may not yield meaningful new outcomes, continuing to weaponise the issue for partisan gain risks damaging Sri Lanka’s credibility and long-term security interests.

National security institutions cannot become collateral damage in political contests. Undermining officers who once safeguarded the country may offer temporary political advantage, but it weakens morale within the armed forces and sends a troubling signal to those tasked with protecting the nation.

Sri Lanka must pursue truth and justice, but through law, evidence, and responsible leadership, not through theatrics designed to mislead or divide. History will judge not only those who served in difficult times, but also those who chose to politicise matters that demanded unity and maturity.

The traditions of the Oxford Union and the Cambridge Union have, for generations, represented the highest ideals of free inquiry, rigorous debate, and intellectual courage. Speakers invited to these historic forums are expected to face difficult questions, defend their views, and engage with opposing perspectives before an informed and critical audience. It was precisely this spirit of open dialogue that I looked forward to participating in and welcomed without reservation.

It is therefore deeply unfortunate that circumstances arising from organised pressure prevented these engagements from taking place. Universities and debating societies have long been spaces where disagreement is addressed through discussion rather than disruption, and where ideas are challenged through argument rather than silenced by intimidation.

I would have welcomed the opportunity to engage directly with critics, including those who strongly oppose my views, because meaningful reconciliation and progress can only emerge when differing perspectives meet in open conversation. Denying such engagement does not strengthen democracy. It weakens it by replacing debate with division.

I remain grateful to both Unions for their invitation and understand the difficult position in which they found themselves. I hope that in the future we will have the opportunity to meet in a forum where dialogue prevails and discussion is encouraged.

🚨 Extremist monk claims Muslim appointment ‘hurts Sinhala-Buddhists’

A Sinhala Buddhist monk and head of the hardline Ravana Balaya organisation, Iththa Kande Saddhatissa, has launched a public attack on the National People’s Power (NPP) government over the appointment of Muneer Mulaffer as the new Deputy Minister of Religious and Cultural Affairs, describing the move as an attempt to “hurt the Sinhala-Buddhist people.”

1. This story is a traditional narrative found in folklore.

2. It cannot be dismissed merely as folklore, as the Jinakālamālī, written by Ratanapañña Thero, who resided at Rattavana Temple in Thailand during the 16th century, mentions Kataragama

7. Though the Buddha did not explicitly command people to worship him, he accepted acts of veneration. He himself instructed that stūpas be built for arahants, Buddhas, and Pacceka Buddhas and also ordered the planting of the Ānanda Bodhi tree for worship.

The claim that Kirivehera in Kathirkamam was built during the Buddha’s lifetime is historically inaccurate and lacks archaeological evidence. No structures or relic worship practices from the 5th century BCE have been found in Sri Lanka or India. Additionally, the Buddha never encouraged self-worship or veneration of symbols. This is a clear case of myth being mistaken for history, highlighting how legend can overshadow facts. Sri Lanka’s Buddhist heritage is rich, but it’s crucial to separate myth from historical reality. #Buddhism #Archaeology #SriLanka 📷 Sarawanan Komathi Nadarasa

debate on this matter if necessary.

6. The archaeological officer of the museum is Mr. Pathum Paranawitharana, who is with you in the photograph. He would not make such a statement. I am certain you have misinterpreted it. Let us ask him directly for clarification.

DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE? - After the loss of thousands of infant lives the Katharagama Devale together with the airforce built a Bone Marrow transplant unit for Children. It also pledged to build FIVE HOSPITALS ANNUALLY. But Nalinda Jayatissa says no one will be allowed to do community development projects henceforth. What's going on?😃
