Following the warning, the military has been placed on alert.
The report says, a faction of the joint opposition led by Mahinda Rajapaksa is plotting this plan, with its ‘Viyathunge Handa’ in charge of executing it with the support of certain military officers close to the former Rajapaksa regime.
As the first step, they will get disabled soldiers to hold a protest against a curtailment of their allowances and demand continued payment until their retirement, and privileges for their dependents.
The plotters will also spread falsehoods in the military and their families the government was going to divide the country.
Demonstrations will also take place to demand freedom for the armed forces members in custody over criminal charges.
This opposition faction is already using the enforcement of the law against monks who incite racism and religious extremism to spread falsehoods that the government was going to destroy the Sinhala Buddhist country by acting against monks.
It has been revealed that it was part of this conspiracy that Uduwe Dhammaloka Thera, accused over an elephant racket, has accused the government over the death of Ven. Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera, that he had been murdered.
