The Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) and The Airline Pilots’ Guild of Sri Lanka (ALPGSL) today denied the statement made by SLPP MP Arundhika Fernando that he has served as a pilot. SLAF further emphasizes that MP Arundhika has not even served as a cadet officer.
SLPP MP Arundika Fernando recently
stated at the parliament that he served as a pilot. He further stated to parliament
that "I have nothing to show today that I was in the Air Force and Sri Lankan
Airlines. In those days, when a flight took off, they were recorded in
logs because there was no facility to computerize at that time. All those
logs were destroyed by the fire that broke out in my house,".
According to him, several important
documents including flying logs of SLAF were destroyed due to the mob setting
fire to his house during the recent violence that began from the prime minister’s
office.
But Authorities must have clear
records. Therefore, Polito News contacted the SLAF, and its Spokesman Group
Captain Dushan Wijesinghe said that there were no records that the MP had ever
served in the SLAF. The spokesman further said the MP had once attended
the Flying Aptitude Test in which he failed.
The Airline Pilots’ Guild of Sri
Lanka (ALPGSL) made a clear statement as well. They have categorically denied
the MPs’ claim of him having been a Pilot in its fraternity and further went on
to say that the organization has no record of him being a Pilot for the
National career.
The ALPGSL says that it had to issue
a statement due to numerous queries directed at the organization regarding the
MP’s statement.
Cunning politicians claim many
valuable things from this country by misusing the People's sovereignty. let's stand up against corrupted politicians.
let's make a better Sri Lanka.
