Are we being led into another Manufactured Crisis? The Brave warning of MP Archuna and the Nation’s unanswered questions!
Sri Lanka is once again standing at the edge of a political and national security precipice. A bold and disturbing statement made by Member of Parliament Archuna inside Parliament has triggered ripples far beyond the chamber’s walls. Facing death threats and legal retaliation, he stood firm and declared truths the nation can no longer afford to ignore.
A Bombshell in Parliament
MP Archuna, under threat and likely political expulsion, dropped a bombshell:
“323 containers of arms and weapons—originally assembled in Thailand for Prabhakaran in 2009—have now reached Sri Lanka through KP.”
He admits he cannot yet provide documentary proof, but he asserts full responsibility for the claim, placing accountability for his words on the record.
More alarmingly, he revealed:
- The President’s pre-election trip to Germany involved meetings with LTTE-linked diaspora groups.
- Assurances were given that could not be delivered, causing undisclosed tensions.
- A second visit to Germany is imminent, and Archuna alleges it is tied to funding provided by these same diaspora networks.
The Government’s Reaction: Silence and Suppression
Instead of investigating these serious allegations, the Government appears focused on silencing the messenger. Archuna has been summoned to court on 26 June, with efforts reportedly underway to remove him from Parliament.
The Deputy Speaker forced him to publicly reaffirm accountability, but the issue has not been probed further. What does the Government plan to do?
LTTE Glorification vs. Silence for the True Heroes
Archuna claimed that Tamils continue to annually honor LTTE “heroes” on November 27, while the backbones govt is refusing to even utter the word “Ranaviruwo” in respect to Sri Lanka’s war heroes.
“Those in uniform tell me I am at least speaking the truth. But the Government they voted for doesn’t even respect them,” Archuna stated.
This silence is not accidental—it is political appeasement.
Unmasking the Bigger Picture: A Pattern of Betrayal
Sri Lanka has seen this playbook before.
📍 1970s–80s: Indian Intelligence trained Tamil militants in secret camps across India.
📍 1983: Carefully choreographed Black July manipulated the world into seeing a Sinhala-Tamil ethnic war, when in truth, many Sinhalese sheltered Tamils. The incident was weaponized to justify armed militancy.
📍 2002: Over 50 military intel officers exposed and killed after Millennium City betrayal under a UNF government.
📍 2009: President Mahinda Rajapaksa ended 30 years of terrorism in just 3 years.
📍 2015: Regime change & ouster of President Mahinda Rajapakse weakened the military:
- Intel officers arrested, camps closed.
- Military sidelined, demoralized.
- Islamist networks ignored, leading to the Easter Sunday massacre in 2019.
Two suicide bombers were sons of a man on the JVP national list—a connection that has never been thoroughly investigated.
A New Wave of Violence: A Diversion?
In the wake of MP Archuna’s revelations, the country is witnessing a disturbing rise in underworld killings and public shootings. This pattern eerily mirrors past efforts to distract the public, create fear, and redirect scrutiny away from political scandals.
Are we, once again, being steered into a choreographed crisis? Is the resurgence of chaos just a smokescreen to bury deeper truths?
The Nation must now Demand Answers
The public, civil society, and opposition must rise above political divides to ask critical, urgent questions:
- Are 323 containers of arms truly in Sri Lanka?
- If yes, where are they?
- Who authorized their entry & who released them & why?
- What exactly transpired in the President’s meetings with the LTTE diaspora?
- Was there foreign campaign financing – what was promised?
- Why is a sitting MP being persecuted for raising national security concerns?
- Is Parliament no longer a place of free speech?
- Why does the Government remain silent about military demoralization?
- Why are those who ended terrorism treated with such contempt?
- Why are past incidents like Easter 2019 still unresolved?
- Who dismantled the intelligence networks that could have stopped it?
Sri Lanka must choose between Truth and Repetition
If what MP Archuna has said is even partially true, Sri Lanka faces a renewed internal threat, one far more dangerous than open war—a betrayal from within. The cost of silence is once again being measured in lives, fear, and sovereignty.
We cannot walk into another 30 years of bloodshed!
This is not the time for silence. This is the time for accountability, courage, and national unity. Let the truth come out—whatever it may be.
Sri Lankans deserve answers. And the world must stop pretending that terrorism ended in 2009 just because the battlefield fell silent. The terrorists & separatists continue their agenda in different disguises.
