Fonseka Pleads For Outside Help, Looking At Asylum

Defeated presidential candidate Sarath Fonseka who is reportedly looking at seeking temporary asylum, is appealing for international intervention to pressure President Mahinda Rajapaksa to maintain democracy in the country.

In an interview with an Indian news channel, NewsX last week, Fonseka maintained that, “governments across the world must intervene to ensure democracy is established and maintained in Sri Lanka. Otherwise he is going to be a military dictator and the end result will be same as we saw happening in other parts of the world.”

Fonseka’s call to the international community was made as he stretched towards India for assistance to ensure his safety.

However, according to reports emanating from India, the Manmohan Singh-led government is likely to snub Fonseka’s plea on grounds that the Rajapaksa-Fonseka tiff was an “internal” matter.  Meanwhile, The Australian newspaper in a report quoting Fonseka said that the former Army Commander was considering seeking temporary asylum in Australia following his election defeat at the presidential polls.

In an interview with The Australian at his home in Colombo, Fonseka was quoted saying he had spoken to the US and British embassies in Sri Lanka and was also planning to speak to the Australian High Commissioner about the possibility of temporary asylum. (MM)

    • Tony

      Still can’t let go off the LTTE-TNA-UNP pact can you? Since you know Singhala this small eye-opener won’t be a problem. Go to you tube type Mahinda gave LTTE money. Watch the press conference given by Tiran Alles (both parts). Then comeback and defend deshadrohi Mahinda. Yes the LTTE was defeated but try explaining that it was OK to give money to the LTTE , to the loved ones who lost their kin to bombs.

    • We are told that all retired army officers are bound by the army rules and regulations for three years since retirement. During his campaign SF had brought up wild allegation against Sri Lankan security forces. SF said he would court marshal a lot of high ranking officers for involving in politics when he wins the Presidency on 26th. Now that he lost it, he should be questioned about his conduct while he was CDS. And about all inappropriate things that came out from his foul mouth. He should be questioned about those white flags etc and court marshal for divulging state secrets.

      • Menik

        Giving out a country’s military secrets by a commander will amount to treason. If SF provides any kind of information to the West during the time he is staying in Sri Lanka, the government has the right to arrest him and bring him to court. Perhaps, that is why he is trying to rush out of the country, to a safe haven from where he can provide damaging information to the West (either true or false) against the Sri Lankan President and the Defense Secretary. It’s pathetic to see SF demonizing the President; the one who brought peace to a country suffering from thirty years of civil war. More than anything else, SF should get some counseling to take care of his mental status and to bring him back to being a normal human being.

      • Shaik

        I cannot understand why SF is seeking asylum in other countries. If his objective is to escape prosecution then there’s no better place than USA from where it will be impossible to extradite him as he is a permanent resident and USA laws will not allow it. The same goes for his relatives too who are implicit in the crimes with him.

        • A tale of three toilets, two army volunteers officers have a hearty shiiiiiit singing cou,cou,cou,cou,cou,hibou, cou, cou, Mrs Srimavo Banda in the third toilet got her jungis’ wet in fear and had all the officers arrested and shut in the magazine prison, well finally the entire world had a laugh it was the first Kakussi coup, maybe gothabhaya forgot the KaKUSSI COUP SONG

    • prasanna

      Hello,

      People can publish any, we all talk about something which the media or some one told us or shown us, if you know this person is raper or smugler or any, why you just put it here instead initiate something to take him to court,

      Why MR, appoint him if he is raper according to you he has done this in 1975, MR is the leader of all three forces, and defece secratary was in high position than SF while he was the army commander, what this people done whife SF doing a under hand weapons deal,

      If SF has done these wrong thing, there is nothing to talk he should get punish, and MR and Gotabaya R and other responsible people should punish twice becuase they let this person to do so,

      I really dont know whether we should cry or laugh to these, I’m not fan or either SF or MR, but instead I respect the people who have huminity, come on while we talk about all how many of you know there are innocent kids die daliy due to dengu in all over the country, doctors are helpless due to no any national wise program to prevent this, this is only one of the problem,

      People who aggitate the youth to do revolution at 1989, now talk totally differnet thing and spend better life, I’m not jealous about it, but will they appologize ever saying they have done wrong thing, will they got punish by any court because they broke the law of the country.

      people please dont get addicted to what the media or what the other says, you have brain and intelligent, open your eyes and see where is these country leading for,

      I don’t need to say more but the speech of election commissioner after the election result was the very best example to show how democrotic we are,

      This is just my oint of view, I love my country, but is it pleasent place to live any more?

    • Tony

      None of them are proven. I don’t think any will be. All those are mud from the government campaign. Looks like the government has employed some of the Nil Balukaya group to sling mud even after the election. SF is down but not out. SF supporters will never go away either.

      • prasanna

        Yes

        these are just mud but in more systematic and professional way, so but the bad part is, majority of our people can be easily fooled by these rumors, so what it meas? any body can find their own answers, as nation we must be shame, do we have backbone? or we just belive which every one says, people wake up at least, now, join your hands to establish the semocracy and law of the country not to shopping for MR or SF or RW or any,

  3. Asylum hm…… Come on SF fans, let’s arrange him a boat to Australia? Oklahoma? or no where?

    • Ariya

      Poor guy!!! He “needs” asylum? Funny! He just wanted be our president, didn’t he? Where are his friends, the JVP-UNP-TNA combine? Asylum, eh? Of course, you can get it in former LTTE map area, where you won your regions. Maybe in Vanni, but maybe you don’t know anything about the war front? Why, America is saying NO to you? Where is your pal Blake? What about Hilary Clinton? Miliband, Kouchner, etc? How come, SF, that you won votes ONLY in the former LTTE map area?

      • kugan

        ARIYA,
        here is the ans for your question,
        SF won in former LTTE area coz its common sense that former LTTE areas consists of tamils.
        Tamils dont like SF but he was our only trump card to send MR home but unfortunately it didnt work out.
        So thats the reason he won in NORTH n EAST.
        its not coz minorities like the former ARMY GENERAL.

        • JP

          Finally some one said it. Let me repeat : “IT’S NOT COZ MINORITIES LIKE FORMER ARMY GENERAL”. Did you hear that people. THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE!

        • Tony

          It’s the lesser of two evils. But under UNP guidance the minorities would have equal rights under the law.

        • That is exactly what we have been saying all along. Sinhalese people knew it or people like us sold it to them. Either way we won at the end. And the so-called International Community, Norway, NGOs, Evangelists and those that supported them and not to mention the TNA lost.

      • Tony

        SF won votes in the former LTTE area so you can make that accusation right now. He was allowed to win. The rest of the map was stolen from SF. Do you think the people in Jaffna like bombs going off on election day? You don’t think that is to suppress their vote to 26%? By the way if you keep thinking the Tamil people are LTTE or supporters of the LTTE cause (EELAM) we will never solve the ethnic problem.
        How do you go from no minorities soon after the war and LTTE lifting it’s head during an election?
        Let Mahinda’s vengeance of the North and East begin.

  4. ltte

    this is our victory…we wanted sri lanka to be like uganda and we are winning…

    • UNP

      Get on the boat with SF.

      • Tony

        What’s your definition of a democracy?
        One leader, no opposition would be a dictator ship or an autocracy.
        For a democracy to work it needs a strong opposition.
        In your view anybody who opposes the king should be silenced or chased away from the country. Better change that constitution first.

        • Stupid Fonseka (SF) and his anti-national clique got their math wrong. They didn’t understand that 80% of Sinhalese hate IC, Norway, Evangelists, NGOs and those that supported them. Sinhalese hate them because they knew that it is they that supported LTTE and dragged the war for thirty years.

          This is how Rajapakse won: Sinhalese consist of 75% of the population. And, of them, 85 % live in villages. And 80% of them had cast their vote for Rajapakse because they did not like SF ganged up with LTTE sympathisers, TNA and the said parasites. In addition 25% of Tamils and Muslims also voted for Rajapakse because they were patriots who wanted stability in this country. It is those patriots that pulled Rajapakse win through. In the final analysis, only green blooded (Sinhalese) and Eelam supporting Tamils voted for SF. Go to Sinhala villages, talk to them and see for your selves.

        • UNP

          So, in your view Tony, SF can bring a strong opposition???? It is time all the UNP ers to start rebuilding their party without these parasites, if you want democracy!!! DO you get it???

        • Shaik

          Fonseka is no fool. He knew he was the ultimate hero for all Sri Lankans who rejoiced at the defeat of the LTTE. And, he would have remained as such until UNP, JVP, SLMC and TNA came along and convinced him with the figures gained in 2005 that he (SF) was assured of a majority to beat MR. The Sri Lankans are far more astute than that as events show most of them switched sides or abstained. With a bigger turnout, MR would have won with an even bigger majority.

        • Shaik

          It is not MR’s fault we have no creditable opposition. I agree for good governance, we not only need a strong opposition, we need a free media too. Alas we do not have the former but we do have a comparatively free media.

      • not only sf all of us will have to get on boats cos goonda mahinda and his common thieves family will strip the state coffers bare.
        u and me then will have to take the same boat mate. just watch out.

        • Shaik

          I think Sri Lanka will be better off without the likes of you and your mindset. SF must consider himself lucky he is not arrested on the corruption and rape charges alone.

  5. SF has the guts to stand up for a better Sri Lnka.
    Although MR would have won in strange ways, SF made the people and the world know what and how the present Govt. is ruling and robbing the country.That awareness has been made and MR got a rude awakening as he thought all would be supporting him….We must be grateful to people like SF as all the others are just Yes men ..whilst MR and his clan continue and will continue to rob and cheat the Givt and its people of the wealth that is remaining.

    • JP

      When will you get it? No body cares what SF says. They didn’t care then they will NOT care in the future! You are a minority, still most minorities seems to be getting it. Read the above comment written by a minority Kugan!

      • Tony

        I bet you call this a free and fair election too. Except for the bombs the people in Jaffna like to hear on election day, state media calling people not to vote for SF since he can’t vote ( Not allowing him to vote was pre planned by the state) on election day, threatening to arrest SF and opposition on election day so SF can’t make a complaint, EC promising the results in the morning and giving the results at 4:30 pm not live but in a recorded clip are all indications of a free and fair election I guess.
        I know it’s a jumble mess I’ve written. I just lose all grammatical structure when arguing with idiots.

        • Eh you are confused alright, True you look like as if you are in a mess. So, let me try to straighten your mind.

          Stupid Fonseka (SF) had reached the end of his ego trip. Those political parties and individuals that jumped in to his soup are already abandoning him. He is on his own now. Wait and see what will happen to his tiles.

          The fact that SF had won every where Tamils and Muslims are the majority is a good enough proof of a fair election. In spite of all their shortcomings Ranil W, Hakeem and many others in the opposition have accepted the entire results. International monitors, the UN and the US accepted the outcome and election as fair. But Stupid Fonseka (SF) and JVP and Mangala dispute it. And Karin the Swiss woman that is about to be thrown out of Sri Lanka and her associates disseminate SF’s hallucinations.
          Now that Rajapakse had won the Presidency, his party will win the parliamentary elections as well perhaps by a two third majority. The IC, their NGOs and the Christian evangelists will continue hatch new conspiracies against him. But he will overcome all of them and usher Sri Lanka to new heights. And Eelamist better look for a ‘home land’ somewhere in Scandinavia. Good luck to you Vikings.

  6. Hon General Fonseka, you confronted the Tamil Tigers valiantly fear not of the three brothers, they and their cronies may make you the country fool, the call of the nation will not be too far away. Once the free Sinhalese discovers that he is manipulated and freedom of the press has been gradually been withdrawn from their daily lives, It is only a man of your value that could unite the people once more. Today is the cry of hatred of the victor, Hatred does not build nations.

  7. sahal bandula

    This is turning out to be something of a Hollywood Movie

  8. Psycho

    Ignore the fellow, he is just mumbling.
    Now UNP,JVP,SLMC & TNA will desert him. Now send him to Angoda

  9. Kalag

    What happened to his US Greencard? Does US not want him there anymore? May be having him in US might upset Indians and US didn’t want to do that. They have to sell the Coca Cola and things in India. They dare not upset that.

    If SF has any courage that he braggs about (that he defeated LTTE etc), he should stay in Sri Lanka and stand up to what he beleives in. He can’t do that because he wanted to become President, only to take revenge on MR and his family. Obviously the Tamils wanted the same, so they supported him. It is now the Tamils’ turn to do a u-turn. There are lot of things to be done in Sri Lanka. The Govt can’t waste time, listening to the losers.

    • Tony

      Why is MR so afraid of a SF victory? All the riches will have to be given back.
      That’s what SF threatened. He threatened to take away all ill-gotten money and property.
      If you think MR won you’re not getting the correct information from your source. For instance there is a clip on YOUTUBE that will educate you more about MR and his siblings. It will do you much good to view that and start thinking for yourself rather than feed on state media. Just type Mahinda gave LTTE money and watch the press briefing by Tiran Alles.
      I know every body makes mistakes, I too have relied on state media from time to time throughout my life. It’s ok if you chose to stop defending Rajapksa Junta after watching the you tube clip.

  10. Ranil Perera

    Sarath Fonseka – a convicted rapist should be court marshalled, demoted and dicharged from the army for all the lies he spread tarnishing the good name of our president and armed forces. Send him to any part of the world. We the Sri Lankan people have rejected him and his henchmen (JVP fools, UNP loosers and TNA coolies)

    • Tony

      I am ashamed of being on the same planet as you for calling your fellow countrymen coolies. No wonder MR have supporters like you who want minorities and people with opposing views kicked out or shipped out.
      Keep talking pal our side is growing.
      And no wonder SF has the support of many races and religions. He represents everyone. That’s why people like him.
      Why do all the intimidation of the opposition, bus people from every where for rallies, feed thousands at the expense of the tax payer, allow supporters to break laws by erecting cut outs of himself and then the state sponsor hoardings of development projects at every corner? Insecure much. If MR has done well in the past 4 years he need no fear anybody. All the above was unnecessary burden on the tax payer. Where do you think he got the money to pay for all the tamashas of the election period? Where do you think he will get back the money the government spent?

      It’s you and I who will foot the bill in the future. He has 8 years to tax us.

  11. Sam Costa

    All those who still feel that these PRESIDENTIAL RESULTS ON THE 27th of January 2010 are genuine:

    Please read the statement made by EC on the 27th.

    “Under the empowerment of the Elections Commissioner as indicated in the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, I issued specific guidelines to the state media that were duly ignored. I then installed a Competent Authority for the state media who was completely disregarded. I then met the heads of state media but to no avail. I realized that this was a hopeless cause and so I had the Competent Authority removed.”

    “ I was able to note that during the election, many state institutions operated in a manner not befitting state organisations.”

    “Some blamed me saying that my task was to ensure that the ballot boxes were safe and to ensure that the counting was done right. But under the circumstances I faced today, I could not even ensure the safety of even one ballot box. I did my duties during this time under great duress and mental agony.”

    I hereby state that the situation has reached a dangerous level that is beyond me. I am also advanced in years and have served in this capacity for eight long years so I only ask that I be released from this thankless duty.”

    “It is impossible for me to work in peace under the circumstances – I am constantly under stress and find that I may fall sick and have to face consequences of such an illness.”

    “ Regional leaders harassed my team and I in several areas such as Puttalam, Anuradhapura, Matala Districts , they even bothered the counting centres. This is not a good trend. In fact, it reached an uncontrollable level of verbal abuse directed at Presiding Officers and Asst Elections Commissioners. “

    “ I have been accused of favouring one party in the process of carrying out my duties. I regret that it is no longer possible for me to suffer such indignity and insult – I am not able to do so physically or psychologically.”

    Observers were of the view that the points highlighted by the Elections Commissioner clearly indicated that he has had to announce an election result not in keeping with his conscience, under duress. All we can say is that truth is like a rubber ball in water – it emerges every time you try to suppress it.

    Leaving aside the other extremely serious allegations, which are emerging, this statement by the Elections Commissioner alone would have been enough to declare the election null and void in any other country which is truly a practicing democracy.

    • I feel sorry for the election commissioner. You cannot blame the government for his plight. It is TNA that have to be blamed for it. Not to mention the other Sarath. They wanted to appoint two members to the constitutional council. That is the problem. But nor MR had won the Presidency, he will win the Parliamentary elections as well and change the constitution.

      Anyway what matters is, Stupid Fonseka (SF) had reached the end of his ego trip. Those political parties and individuals that jumped in to his soup are already abandoning him. He is on his own now. Wait and see what will happen to his tiles.

      Stupid Fonseka (SF) can only blame him selves. SF had forgotten that it is President Rajapakse that made him the commander of the army just thirteen days before his retirement. SF had forgotten that that if not for that act, he would have been another retired Major General. But Sinhala people remembered it very well. They were sad that SF bit the hand that fed him and joined the LTTE sympathisers that ridiculed him. That is only one reason why he lost.

      • Tony

        WTF? How did the TNA get involved in state media among other things flouting election laws?
        Your answer to the above post when the EC says the government flouted election laws is to blame the opposition?
        I pity your sense of logic.

      • raguna

        No. Read the statement of EC given above carefully, which is made at the time of announcing election results, and in front the President and a large audience. This statement, among other things clearly says ” I could not even ensure the safety of even one ballot box.” What does it say. The ballot boxes or simply the vote was rigged. So face the truth. This was told before the President and later we all saw and heard it on TV. He (The President) did not deny it and how could you or anybody else deny it.

        You should not feel sorry for EC. You should be sorry for yourself and whole of SL.

      • Frank

        MR WON? How can anybody accept the result when EC says that “I could not ensure the safety of even one ballot box”. EC is a learned man but he was under threat from MR, Mafia Ranchuwa! He had no choice but to announce the result that Mafia had twisted. This is good for all those moda kaalakanni leelas. I am sorry other good leelas, I am only referring to those moda kaalakanni rata vinasayata thallu karana leelas.

        I won’t be surprise if one of those security personnel in the Temple Trees uses the weapon to clean up the roththama very soon. 90% of genuine heroes who cry in their hearts because it’s theirs and their leader’s sacrifice the others walk on streets freely today. They know very well who is genuine veeraya and the hora thakkadiyo tika. Most of those heroes are ahinsaka rural youth who had the courage to come forward to defend the country, Mafia boss and his gang cannot fool them for long. One true hero will have the courage to teach the whole world the 2nd lesson. I am counting days to celebrate the true indipendance.

        • SH

          Why not your veera SF come out from hiding and face the truth? He has nothing to hide right? He has done nothing right? He has been so honest right? He is so patriotic right? He can be trusted right? He is not a hora thakkadiya like MR, right? So, if I were SF I will come out and face the music, even if it takes my life — because I did it for the country & it’s people!
          Why not EC come out and tell the truth with SF? Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are afraid of the Mafias!
          By the way Frank, watch your ugly language. You are having a hard time swallowing the truth! The world can see it.

        • very true. when rp was killed by the suicide bomber people lit crackers in joy. the same will happen again but in a major celeberatory manner in the entire island if something like that is to happen to goonda mahinda.

          this country is truly becoming a military junta ruled by a civilian thug family.

        • Now you heard the answer from the horses mouth itself for all those rumors like holding pistole on his head, taken him to Apollo, vote rigging, computer gimic, safety of ballot boxes and etc, etc. What do you say, now?

          Now all of you in the TNA, JVP, UNP combine could accuse EC of being bought over by MR because EC said he is going to oversee the parliamentary elections as well. Whatever you say, MR will get over 140 seats.

  12. Sunil Gamage

    Biggest lost is for the JVP scoundrels. In a general election they will get less than 2 seats or no seats. UNP families whose members were killed by the JVP never voted SF.

  13. raguna

    To days news papers say SF’s arrest is imminent on attempted coup charges. So the loyal citizens can be happy and live forever peacefully. There will not be any honest fools to point out any misdeeds. What a fool SF is, to be a powerful and world acclaimed army commander and attempt a Coup after getting out, as an ordinary citizen. And further the ‘Lanka news paper’ is also sealed. Now we can boast of the world’s best Democracy under a King, who cannot pronounce the word ‘Democracy’ in his own native language.

    Mr.S.F.from the begining of his presedential campaign was crying about his security & personal propaganda.Thare were no pilicies to develop the country.That was the reason clever Srilankans rejected the loser.It is good for Srilanka if he leaves & feel sorry for the country where he wll settle & but the tamil diaspora will help him.

    Okay SF, brush your teeth well and give a fight for the next election. We’ll consider supporting you.

    • Shaik

      You must be a glutton for punishment. I don’t think SF is that naive to contest another election and lose again. That would surely seal his fate and the only thing remaining will be him riding into the sunset on his faithful donkey propped up by people like you.

    • Not again!! John brushing his teeth may not be enough if you want to bring HIM back!

      • John

        Dear Shaik and Amused, you got it all wrong. What I meant was his smile doesn’t look attractive and he hasn’t got personality either. He looks like a Psychic Evil with his usual smile with dirty teeth. I don’t want to see him contesting again. You didn’t understand my joke!

    That’s why he has applied for Green Card.

  17. Sarath Foseka

    SF probably the biggest coward in sri lanka.

    SF is brutal and currupt fellow who contested to the highest post in the country. He had a dirty character from his youth. Specially in the army up to the retirement . Crimes he has done in the past should be brought before the law and punished him to set an eye opener to the similar characters in the country. No body should be above the law.

    I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS NOTICE TO ALL OF YOU,
    GEN. SARATH FONSEKA
    HE HAS 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE ARMY, WITH THAT EXPERIENCE HE WIPE OUT WHOLE HE LTTE. WHEN HE WAS ATTACKED INSIDE THE ARMY , IF HE HAD DIED, WILL ANYONE COULD WIPE OUT THE LTTE UNTIL NOW????

    • Kalag

      It is not just SF personally went and wiped out LTTE. Could he have done it without the political and diplomatic help of the Govt? No. Could any other general have done it? Yes. We have well trained and very much talented generals in Sri Lanka. Could we have had done this with another president? The facts speak for themselves. We had so called great presidents but LTTE grew under them. The height of it is when RW was the prime minister. LTTE could bring in their “airwing” and under water attack crafts.
      With SF and RW combination, the dead LTTE can be revived and brought to an unassailable state at the same speed as its demise.
      But the victory certainly belongs to both President and SF. There is no doubt about that. However, the going forward certainly belongs to MR. Southern people know very well. They are not idiots. They made the right choice. On the other hand, Tamils, as usual, had their bet on the wrong horse.
