After the controversial book written by Wimal Weerawansa about the US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung, a website loyal to Wimal published interesting news. It mentioned a conversation between Russian Ambassador to Sri Lanka Levan Dzhagaryan and Minister of Agriculture Mahinda Amaraweera. When the Russian ambassador came to meet Mahinda Amaraweera and was discussing, the Russian ambassador saw a photo of Julie Chang on Mahinda Amaraweera’s desk and asked about that photo. Mahinda Amaraweera then said that Julie Chung and he are in the photo, that she helped Amaraweera’s projects a lot, and that’s why her photo is there.
Mahinda Amaraweera has pointed out that there is also a photograph of the Russian ambassador, although he could not see it. After that, the Russian ambassador’s photo, which was hidden to Julie Chung’s photo, was also taken out and shown. Then the Russian ambassador said to get rid of her if Sri lanka want to protect the country.
Although the truth or falsity of this story is not clear, either Mahinda Amaraweera or Wimal Weerawansa through the Russian Embassy may have given this incident to the website. The secretary in charge of political affairs of the Chinese Embassy was also present at the launching ceremony of Wimal Weerawansa’s book.
The geopolitics behind the book is explicit by the participation of the Secretary of Political Affairs of the Chinese Embassy in the launching ceremony of a book targeting the American ambassador in Sri Lanka. After the publication of the book, it is also clear from the news published by the pro-Wimal website that not only China, but also the Russian embassy is with this book.
Before reading Wimal’s book, it is advisable to find out where Wimal was before the ‘aragalaya’ and during the ‘aragalaya’. Gotabhaya’s government, which was a strong government, became weak after Wimal and his party started attacking Gotabhaya and the government. As a result, Gotabaya removes Wimal from the cabinet. After that, Wimal addressed meetings across the country attacking Gotabaya and the Rajapaksa family.
The ‘aragalaya’ comes when Wimal attacks the Rajapaksa family and Gotabaya and holds meetings in different parts of the country. Wimal weeerawansa and his group advised Gotabhaya, to remove Mahinda Rajapaksa, Basil Rajapaksa and the Rajapaksa family and appoint a new prime minister and new government. Although initially they suggested the name of Dullas, when Gota appoints Ranil as Prime Minister under the influence of the Rajapaksa family, Wimal’s group did not raise a loud voice against it.
The reason is that Wimalla’s enemy at that time was the Rajapakse family including Basil. When the ‘aragalaya’ started in July asking Gota to go home, the speaker called a meeting of party leaders on Gota’s advice. Wimal also participated in that meeting. Military comanders including the Army Commander also participated in that meeting. After that meeting, the speaker informed the country through an announcement that the party leaders unanimously proposed Gotabaya to bow down to the ‘aragalaya’ and resign. In that meeting, Wimal did not say that he was against Gotabhaya’s withdrawal.
This makes it clear that if it is a conspiracy to remove Gotabhaya and appoint a new government with Ranil as president, then Wimal Weerawansa is also a part of that conspiracy. It is also clear that there is a conspiracy to remove the American ambassador from Sri Lanka using Wimal’s book. It is difficult to say whether China and Russia are behind this. But Ranil’s uncle’s newspaper ‘Sunday Times’ had published that the intelligence agency was investigating this book. There is a doubt that the government is also using this book to get rid of Julie Chung , who has caused trouble for them.
