Revealing a confidential matter at TV Derana 360 programme, Minister Rajitha Senaratne last night alerted that the leftover elements of the previous government have still not given up hopes to topple the current government.

At the programme, Minister Senaratne revealed details of an alleged conspiracy by ex-President’s brother and former Defence Secretary Gotbaya Rajapaksa to overthrow the government within next three months.

Some 400 to 500 military officials are being trained at an army base in the Northern Province under directions from an Army Brigadier, who is an ally of the former Defence Secretary, in a bid to yet again create a crisis situation in the north, and take advantage of it, said Senaratne.

In a previous occasion, Minister Mangala Samaraweera also lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), saying, on 9 January there has been a serious attempt by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, and brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Chief Justice Mohan Peiris, G.L. Peiris and Udaya Gammanpila for a coup attempt and impose a state of emergency and continue in office by unlawful and illegal means with the help of the military.

Duty of the opposition is to take power from the ruling party and ruling party has a duty to protect its power..

The beauty is being with the ruling party till its end and convert to opposition to capture power at the end.. So you are the winner forever

I am wondering, if these allegations are correct, why are they not doing anything to catch the responsible people.

Convene a Kangaroo court (like what the previous government did to SF), punish them and send them to prison or even hang (like once one of them threatened SF) a few of them.

People expect credible actions and tangible results and not soap operas.
