President Mahinda Rajapaksa has warned Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa that Major General Shavendra Silva was likely to become another Fonseka and to therefore keep a close watch in him.
The President had made this point when the Defence Secretary had sought Presidential approval to allocate a land and a house in Colombo to Shavendra Silva.
At the same time, the President had loudly said that Sarath Fonseka was made the Army Commander due to a request made by the Defence Secretary. Several senior officials who were at the venue had heard the President's remark. |

The President had further noted that he had sent Shavendra Silva overseas since he had tried to become a hero through the media like Fonseka.
However, the Defence Secretary had remained silent when the President had made these statements before the senior officials. |
