Let us get to the bottom of this drama without engaging in any more sensational entertainment. The latest Channel 4 video opened with Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith talking about someone “above” Zaharan and Hamsa claiming to have met Maj. Gen. Suresh Salley in February 2018 & alleging discussing a plot to commit Easter Sunday.

If Channel 4 at the end of the video included that Maj. Gen. Suresh Salley was not in Sri Lanka, with what media ethics did Channel 4 proceed to air the documentary, even if it was paid by someone else? The Cardinal & their whistleblowers stand exposed the moment the truth comes to light. To ascertain the truth only a few simple steps are needed why is their no calls by them to adopt these procedures? Stop watching all the videos and sensational theories to simply seek answers to below questions.

Channel 4 star witness Hamsa alleges Maj. Gen. Suresh Salley came to a coconut estate in February 2018. Maj. Gen. Suresh Salley has written to C4 through his lawyers to say he was overseas on a diplomatic assignment since 2016 – confirming he was not in Sri Lanka in February 2018.

How do we check if Gen. Salley was in Sri Lanka in February 2018?

1. Check with Malaysian immigration to confirm Gen. Salley was in Malaysia & did not leave Malaysia in February 2018 or any period that year.
2. Check with Sri Lankan immigration to confirm Gen. Salley did not arrive from Malaysia in February 2018.
3. Check with Sri Lanka’s Foreign Ministry and obtain official letter from them as to Gen. Salley’s appointment as a diplomat & that he had not travelled officially or personally to Sri Lanka in February 2018 (even to travel personally leave has to be applied for & approval obtained from the Foreign Ministry)
4. Check airline passenger lists from Malaysia to Sri Lanka on that particular day to see if Gen. Salley travelled to Sri Lanka.

Hamsa alleges that he arranged Gen. Salley to meet Zaharan & team in a coconut estate in Puttalam. Presuming Gen. Salley was not in Sri Lanka as per the above data, the next step is to prove if Hamsa went to Puttalam

• Can Hamsa prove where this coconut estate is (address) who does it belong to and that he went to this site on the day that he is alleging. The owner of the estate should also be able to verify.

If Hamsa is unable to prove above, then one of his key arguments falls flat.

Hamsa also alleges that Gen. Salley placed a call to a TMVP operative to travel to the Taj Hotel & pick up the phone of ‘someone’ (we presume it is the suicide bomber)

With advances in technology, Hamsa’s allegation of a call by Gen. Salley on Easter Sunday can also be easily proved.

1. Take call logs of Gen.Salley on 21^st April 2019 to see if he made such a call at the time that Hamsa alleges.
2. If Gen. Salley was in Malaysia – it would be easy to obtain call logs from an international line
3. Check call logs of Hamsa on Easter Sunday 21 April 2019 as well as his whereabouts. How did Hamsa know what Gen. Salley told a TMVP operative, if Gen. Salley was in Malaysia?
4. Was Hamsa with the TMVP operative when the call came?
5. Who is this TMVP operative, where was he located on 21 April 2019 and check his call records too to see if he received a call from Gen. Salley.

Revealing Gen. Salley’s whereabouts in 2018 & 2019 as well as his phone records

Revealing Hamsa’s whereabouts in 2018 & 2019 as well as his phone records will seal the truth and negate all the allegations made by Hamsa, C4 & the Cardinal.

The Cardinal & his coterie of NGOs & spokespersons, Channel 4, the star witnesses even Geneva will all have to prepare their apologies to not only Maj. Gen. Suresh Salley but to the General Public for intentionally fabricating stories and attempting to fool the people of Sri Lanka.
