Foreign spy agency tapping Gota’s phone
Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa has complained to his mobile phone service provider that his phone is being tapped by an organised team with the intention of gathering national security secrets, according to a newspaper report.
A special investigation that looked into this complaint has revealed that those behind it were linked to a foreign mission in Colombo as well as a powerful foreign spy agency, our sister newspaper Irida Lankadeepa reports today in its lead story.
The report adds:
In addition to tapping the phone of the Defence Secretary, the phones of several other VIPs were being tapped by the same group, which possesses sophisticated phone-tapping equipment, the investigations have revealed.
The mobile-telecom service provider has also begun a probe to ascertain if national security was being compromised and if there is an attempt to tamper with the telecommunication system of the country by those engaged in wiretapping.

If this is true, then ordinary citizens must be very careful. All their private conversations are not PRIVATE anymore.
While we are on the subject, why cannot Dr. Gotabhaya Rajapaksha insist that INDIA not meddle with internal affairs of lanka.
Sri Lanka, is NOT a colony of India. It is time we arm Kashmir militants, as a reward for India, arming LTTE. Don’t you agree , Sir……..
