staff fingerprinted over anti President sticker
SriLankan Airlines staff at the Baggage Services Division was allegedly
fingerprinted by CID sleuths for displaying a sticker which was
perceived as derogatory to the President. The Bottom Line learns
that the sticker in question was in fact printed in the United States
as part of a campaign against President George Bush.
The
sticker which read We are not for the President was
apparently sighted by an Editor of a state run newspaper who in
his enthusiasm had informed the Criminal Investigations Department
regarding the alleged attempt to tarnish the good image
of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The CID in turn had questioned the
SriLankan Airlines staff at Baggage Services Division where the
sticker was pasted and fingerprinted them as well. The filling cabinet
on which the sticker was pasted has also been taken for closer examination
by the CID.
On examination it was revealed that the sticker was in fact part
of a campaign against President Bush and had little to do with his
Sri Lankan counterpart. However, the conspiracy theorists are claiming
that this is a sinister campaign launched by the Airline staff backed
by one time Chairman of the Air port and Aviation Services, Tiran
Alles, to tarnish the image of the Rajapaksa administration.
