Sri Lanka’s National Patriotic Movement (NPM) warned that an international conspiracy was underway to destroy Sri Lanka’s military intelligence.
NPM Secretary Wasantha Bandara said that foreign governments were part of the latest conspiracy and called on the Sri Lankan government to be wary. “They have broken into the inner cells of our intelligence network and are all out to destroy it,” said Mr Bandara.
He highlighted the investigation of missing Sinhalese journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda, which has seen several military intelligence personnel arrested, as part of a potential strategy to reveal Sri Lanka’s military intelligence network.
Mr Bandara went on to add that “separatist forces” are taking on a new strategy, including protesting against the military.
"Destroying the military intelligence on the pretext of various probes is the first step towards that end,” he added, urging the public to remain vigilant.
