Pivithuru Hela Urumaya Leader and MP Udaya Gammanpila  yesterday claimed that four projects have been proposed by the recently  visited US defence delegation that will turn Sri Lanka into an American  colony.  

“If these proposals are implemented, Sri Lanka is going to  suffer the same fate as Panama,” the MP said during a press conference  yesterday.  

One proposal is the establishment of a special  intelligence information centre where all the intelligence information  received by Sri Lanka should be shared with the United States.  

MP Gammanpila said that providing intelligence information to a country like the USA is endangering the national security of Sri Lanka.   

“This is a twenty-year-old proposal. In 2002, when the  current President was the Prime Minister, a CIA agent came to implement  the project but it had to be abandoned due to the objection of Sri  Lankan security chiefs”, he said.  

Another proposal is to give their biometric immigration  control system as a gift to Sri Lankan airports. According to the  proposals, that data bank should be given access rights to America.  Because of that, the United States receives extremely unique data such as  fingerprints, eye marks and hair patterns of all air passengers coming  to Sri Lanka, he said.  

He also said that the proposal was also presented in 2003  and was cancelled due to the objection of our security chiefs. “If we are  going to implement this proposal, China, India and Russia may be angry  with us.” The MP stated.
