An Open letter to the President Maithripala Sirisena.

Mr. President,

Chandrika Kumaratunga had said that when the political parties opposed to President Mahinda Rajapakse were to present a Common  Candidate of the Opposition for the Presidential elections of Janury,2015, she was requested to find a person likely to turn  traitor to the SLFP and willing to break rank with President Mahinda Rajapakse to be the Opposition Presidential Candidate.

Chandrika Kumaratunga had several choices, but she had to choose someone  easily malleable, less conversant in English ,agreeable  to their conditions, and will not be intelligent as to pry into the political manoeuvres that will be set up  by the Western and Indian secret services to change the Rajapakse regime and take Sri Lanka under the control of the friendly countries of the West, which was in fact a foreign agenda to which Chandrika  and Ranil were working. CBK was looking for a fall guy –a sucker….

She says that her choice was you, Mr. President. She argues that, if you as the Secretary General of the SLFP, would be a  traitor to the SLFP that made you a respected politician, and to the  President of the Party Mahinda Rajapakse who had great trust in you, it would  cause a rift in  the SLFP dividing  the party loyalists some to vote against Mahinda Rajapakse. 

Chandrika says that you have a great  esteem for her and that you would not refuse any favour she would ask you. She says that she assured you that the western countries and India was with them and you have nothing to fear, and they wanted only your consent and the rest you could safely leave in their hands.

It is sad to tell you that she was looking  for a puppet, whose strings she will hold to make you dance to her tune. You perhaps now know that you are still a puppet and it is Chandrika and Ranil who hold the strings. You gave into them from the beginning,   to Chandrika through your blind respect and servility, and to Ranil through your gratitude for making you a President.

You were foolish to consent at the very outset to willingly give up the executive powers and be a one term President. For Chandrika, Ranil and even Mangala you were a  country bumpkin(godaya)  behind whose back  they could plan their strategies to carry out the agenda set out by America, European Countries and India.

It was very foolish to have given into CBK and Ranil and politically unintelligent late Sobhita Thero. Incidentally Venerable Sobhitha thero paid the price for betraying Sri Lanka, dying under mysterious circumstances after he explained his disappointment with the Yahapalanaya government he helped to setup.

You knew very well what CBK and Ranil are capable of , as it was you it is said who . handled the Commission report on Batalanda Torture Camp. You were also aware of the mayhem caused by Ranil signing the CFA with the terrorists leader Prabhakaran, and how many deaths it caused until it was rescinded by the President Mahinda Rajapakse.

You are responsible Mr President for all the sins committed by Ranil Wickramasinghe as it was you who made him, 29 times rejected by the people, a Prime Minister.

a Christmas decoration

Mr. President please look around you , what are you in this Yahapalanaya setup. You are only looking after local ma   tters , trying hard to win over the hearts of the people. This government has done nothing for the country and the people since you were elected President on the  

8th January,2015. Lot of disastrous decisions have been made by Ranil, Chandrika and Mangala, but you get to know of them only when you read the papers, when things have gone out of control and people begin to talk about the damages done by the Yahapalanaya Government.

While you make high sounding  Sinhala speeches about poisonless agriculture,  Chandrika, Ranil, Mangala make important statements to foreign press and foreign governments  that affect Sri Lanka’s global image.

The biggest daylight Robbery the Bond Scam was done after a well planned scheme set up by Ranil, Ravi Karunanayake and Arjuna Mahaendran. You never asked Ranil your Prime Minister why he took over the administration of the Central Bank, when it had always been under the Minister of Finance. You never asked why they appointed a foreigner imported from Singapore as the Governor of the Central Bank.

And when “theft” was completed and the whole world came to know about it, what did you do ? 

You meekly asked your Prime Minister to remove Arjun Mahendran from the office of Governor of the Central  Bank. Ranil instead of removing him, appointed him as his financial advisor to create 10000 employments.

Why did you leave the matter at rest at that ? 

Were you afraid of Ranil Wickramasinghe ?

Arjun Mahendran  the non-Sri Lanka is now under the protection of  Ranil Wickramasinghe working with his inner group of  financial planners- Paskaralingam, and  Charitha Ratwatte.

Mr.President , a good President should firstly be a good man. But Mr.President , you were very self centred  and egoist  therefore in order to become the President  you became a traitor to your own political party SLFP  that made you a politician. You  betrayed the trust  the President of the SLFP Mahinda Rajapakse placed on you as the General Secretary of the SLFP.

You are so revengeful Mr. President, you allowed Ranil Wickramasinghe to have his own police  the FCID to accuse and take in to custody on flimsy charges Rajapakses and their supporters.  Mr. President one cannot understand  why you have so much of  hatred to Mahinda Rajapakse, when he did no wrong to you, but it was only  you who wronged him, and that everyone knows.

You are not a good man, therefore, you are not a good President. 

Mr.President, Chandrika,  Ranil and Mangala are Agents of the West. It is the West with instructions from the Tamil Dispora that want to weaken the armed forces , until it becomes discouraged and demoralised to the extent that it would not be equal to what it had been before to fight another terrorist resurgence.

Mr.President You are the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka, the Armed Forces are therefore directly under your charge. Then how is it that Officers of the Armed Forces;  specially those in the Intelligent section the backbone of the Armed Force are arrested by the FCID without your consent ? How is it that Chandrika makes criminal charges against the Armed Forces without your consent. ? How was it that Mangala Samaraweera sponsored the American Resolution against the Sri Lanka Armed Forces without having consulted you ?

Mr. President how was it that an Army Major and four soldiers were arrested over the abduction of the journalist Keith Noyahr by the FICD, just before the opening of  the Sessions of the Geneva UN Human rights Council. Was it to please the West and the Tamil Diaspora ?

Mr. President do you realise that you are being taken for a ride, and that the real political power in Sri Lanka is not centred around  you, but around  Chandrika, Ranil and Mangala who guide the mysterious hand that directs the destinies of Sri Lanka ?

Mr.President, while you are busy attending School prize givings and opening Museums in Temples. Chandrika and Mangala and even Wignesvaran are busy informing the Leaders of Western Governments or the foreign press on more important matters concerning the future of Sri Lanka.

Mr. President who really wanted a new Constitution ?

 “….Chandrika Kumaratunga  told a meeting with the Foreign Correspondents’ Association at her office in Colombo that the immediate priority, which the international community too agreed with, was to establish a National Policy on Reconciliation for which a new Constitution was necessary.”

Responding to a question she pointed out that there was " no need for foreign judges, if our judiciary can do it properly. It is more important to enact a new constitution than get down judges from abroad.”

Chandrika Kumaratunga speaking to a Foreign Correspondent’s Association said, “There is a lot of sexual abuse still going on by officials, even Tamil officials ……Even to sign a document, they abuse the women and of course some people in the (armed) forces” continue to commit sexual abuse. ”

Mr. President, it is not right that you allow this insults to your office by Chandrika Kumaratunga speaking to foreign correspondents to abuse our own Armed Forces of which you are the Commander in Chief.  She had  further said  that, “…. some officers of the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) had complained of attempts  by agents  of the Rajapaksa family of having attempted to bribe them with big sums of money, but they had refused the offers.” 

This is a silly accusation without any proof. It is your duty to stop her make these false accusations, it is not her duty to do so.

Isn’t this washing dirty linen in public ?

Mr. President,  Chandrika Kumaratunga speaks like a woman in a fish market, which is an insult to our country,  more so as she had been a former President of Sri Lanka. It is in your own interest to ask her to “guard her mouth” at least when speaking to foreign correspondents.  You are the President of the SLFP, Chandrika speaks as she is the “boss”. It was reported that,

“ President Kumaratunga said the Joint Opposition which is rallying behind Kurunegala district MP and former president Mahinda Rajapaksa was splitting the SLFP and should be stopped.
"I sacked many people for much less than this (supporting another party) when I was the president of the party," Kumaratunga told the Foreign Correspondents' Association this week.
She said the Rajapaksa faction of the SLFP included the "biggest murderers and crooks" and they should be removed from the SLFP.”

Mr. President you should be the arbitrator to decide what is correct and what is not correct in even what the Prime Minister’s FCID is doing arbitrarily by arresting persons of previous government to perhaps please  the Prime Minister.  Wimal Weerawansa had been arrested and imprisoned for misuse of 46 vehicles,  where as Azad Sally at a TV interview said Lakshman Kiriella has taken 146 vehicles to Kandy for the use of his campaign workers, and no body has questioned this irregular use of government vehicles by Kiriella. Can their be two laws one for  the members of the Previous government and another for the members of Yahapalanaya ?  

It had been the same with Rajitha Senaratne one of the most disagreeable men in the Yahapalanaya Cabinet. He asks  the FCID to go for the  big fish, when he himself is accused for corruption. A case filed against him by the JVP has not been  taken up for investigation. You should ask Senaratne to allow himself  investigated by the FCID for the accusations made against him.

Mr. President are you aware of extensive deforestation that is going on. What action are you going to take to stop this:

“Specific instances of forest destruction and proposed deforestation by the Mahaweli Authority were brought into the spotlight by the Director of the Environment Conservation Trust (ECT), Sajeewa Chamikara.

Here are the areas under threat due to the Mahaweli L zone, according to him:

* In Mullaitivu, 6,000 acres of jungle, bordering the Andankulam Forest Reserve and the Kokilai Sanctuary are being cleared and destroyed. A majority of those who have got land in this area are big businessmen and not small farmers.

*  Nearly 32,000 acres of land in the Padaviya Forest Reserve are being cleared for potential development. This Forest Reserve covering 48,451 acres was declared by Gazette No. 1793/21 on January 18, 2013, but soon after, 31,875 acres were de-gazetted by Gazette No. 1808/4 on April 29, 2013. * Around 22,500 acres of forest in the Medirigiriya-Bisopura area have been handed over for development.

A few other areas where forest destruction is taking place:

* Around 20,000 acres of forests in Welikanda have been handed over to big businessmen for massive commercial cultivations.* Around 5,000 acres from the Karunkalipuram Forest Reserve have been released for the settlement of people.* There are major intrusions into the Proposed Elephant Management Reserve in Hambantota, in the form of large-scale soil excavation, metal-quarrying, setting up of solar power plants and commercial crop cultivations.

Mr.President , you are not informed of what is going on  in the country. You are not consulted  on major issues concerning Sri Lanka.

It is time you wake up and take action to reverse the situation in which Ranil-Chandrika-Mangala Samaraweera are progressively destroying and selling Sri Lanka to foreign countries. 

Mr.President, now even the UN Special Rapporteur wants more land held by the armed forces released to Tamils, please speak and ask them to mind their own business without interfering into internal affairs of the Country. That is what President Mahinda Rajapakse told these interferers.

Mr. President please do not remain imprisoned in your inferiority complex, showing your gratitude to Ranil Wickramasinghe and your high esteem to Chandrika Kumaratunga. You should take over the reigns of government  now or you will never be able to save what remains of Sri Lanka, or else you too may perish with it.

Mr.President you should change your Prime Minister and form a new Government. You should bury your false pride and your hatred towards  Mahinda Rajapakse and his supporters. You can be the saviour of Sri Lanka which faces today the greatest danger in its history, a danger of  division both territorially and communally. It would be yours and Mahinda Rajapakse’s joint efforts that would help to regain Sri Lanka and bring back peace and security.

GO! Go!! Ranil Wickramasinghe people do not want you as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.

Yahapalanaya goons accused Mahinda Rajapakse for running a  family affair, but Ranil Wickramasinghe makes the government an affair of buddies, with the connivance of the President.

Maithripala Sirisena was elected by the people at the Presidential elections. Therefore he has the peoples’ consent to become the President of Sri Lanka. However,  a large number of Sinhala Buddhists had rejected him.

But the people of Sri Lanka never wanted  Ranil Wickramasinghe as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. If there is a referendum today to ask the people whether  they would like to have Ranil Wickramasinghe as their President, a large majority of the people will definitely say No.

Ranil Wickramasinghe was elected by the Colombo Sinhala,Tamils and Muslims. He was rejected by the mass of the people of this country 29 times consecutively.  But Maithripala Sirisena unconstitutionally appointed him the Prime Minister for personal reasons.

This Prime Minister  of the President Maithripala Sirisena, had his personal plans to enrich his Party the treasury of which had dwindled due to UNP having been outside political power for well over twenty years.

Ranil Wickramasinghe when he became the Prime Minister got around him his buddies- people who could help him fulfil  his personal plans to strengthen his power in the country as the leader of the UNP and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.

He appointed Ravi Karunanayake despite a pending  court case against him for money laundering, as his Finance Minister.

Ranil Wickramasinghe  knew that he would be  legally safe in doing even a legally incorrect affair as the Prime Minister. Therefore, in preparation for what ever was in his mind,  he  took over from the Finance Minister,  the Central Bank under his Ministry- Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs.

Then he got down from Singapore Arjun Mahendran ( who is not a citizen of Sri Lanka), a friend of the Finance Minister Ravi Karunananayke, and Raj Rajaratnam. Incidentally  Raj Rajaratnam is the man who financed the Sri  Lanka Terrorists, and whose funds Ravi Karunanayake was accused to have tried to “launder”.

Prime Minister Wickramasinghe   recommended to the President  Arjun Mahendran to be appointed the Governor of the Central Bank. The President acceded to his Prime Minister’s request without investigating his background, to assure himself of  the suitability of his appointment to the most responsible and coveted post in the Country.

This irregular recommendation for the appointment of a non Sri Lankan as the Governor of  the Central Bank was evidently an  abuse of  the powers vested in the  office of Prime Minister.  

The Governor of the Central Bank  was accused in  reports made by two COPE Committees for the role he played in the  Central Bank Bond Scam in which 5 billion rupees had been swindled by  his son-in-law Arjun Joseph Alloysius of Perpetual Bonds Co.

in a Bond Scam.

The Prime Minister’s responsibility for the Bond scam is in  question, firstly,  as the Central Bank comes directly under his Ministry, secondly for protecting the Governor of the Central Bank when the President refused to extend his contract, by employing him as a Consulted in the Prime Minister’s Office. And thirdly for advising the President to dissolve the Parliament before the first COPE report accusing the Governor of the Central Bank was presented in the Parliament. Prime Minister  is also indirectly responsible for the subsequent attempt by the UNP MPs in the COPE committee adding foot notes to the COPE report to “dilute”, the legal effect of  the  COPE Report.

Therefore in respect to democracy for which this government often makes a great fanfare,  Ranil Wickramasinghe should step down from the office of Prime Minister without delay, as he is guilty of his responsibility for the Bond Scam on the three counts enumerated above.

In this matter,  the President Maithripala Sirisena should also  take a part of the blame for allowing the Prime Minister to continue to employ Arjuna Mahendran when his services had been terminated by the refusal to extend his contract. Therefore, it becomes imperative that  the President Maithripala Sirisena demand the Prime Minister to submit his resignation.

Sri Lanka should have a Sinhala Buddhist patriot as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. Ranil Wickramasinghe does not qualify either as a Sinhala Buddhist nor as a Patriot who loves Sri Lanka and would save and protect the historical heritage  the Sinhala people. 

Ranil Wickramasinghe  depends on the minorities the Tamils and Muslims along with the “green even if cut” UNP Sinhala  vote Base to keep himself afloat in the troubled political waters of Sri Lanka. Therefore he will make all sacrifices to satisfy the minorities at the cost of the Majority.

Ranil Wickramasinghe behaved similarly  when he was the Prime Minister of the President Chandrika Kumaratunga. He signed the CFA without consulting either the President or the Parliament, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Soldiers as well as terrorists, and perhaps civilians too which the American Resolution against the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka for violation of human rights during the last phase of the elimination of terrorists does not take into account.

He was also responsible for the Athurugiriya Millenium City raid which resulted in the murder of a number of officers of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces’ Secret Service. He should also take the blame for  building a close relation with the West despite Sri Lanka’s policy of non-alignment. The Prime Minister had also been accused for maintaining torture camps in Batalanda, by a Commission appointed for its investigation.

Now he is all out to prepare himself for the 2019 Presidential elections, having assured that President Maithripala Sirisena will not be a contestant for the Presidency in 2019. He had also assured the  removal of some of the  President’s executive powers with the passing of the19Amendment to the Constitution, which does not even allow the President to dissolve the Parliament until 2020.

It is with that in mind that Ranil Wickramasinghe  is all out to discredit the President Mahinda Rajapakse. Every political manoeuvres he had made so far,  had been with that view in mind. He appointed Sarath Fonseka a man with a rotten mouth without any idea of what is political good sense, as a Minister for the only purpose of getting him to make “speeches” in Parliament insulting the President Mahinda Rajapakse. He created the FCID to take into custody and imprison every one that opposes him and would be an obstacle for his Presidential ambition.

Ranil Wickramasinghe has around him corrupt politicians- Lakshman Kiriella Minister of High Ways has appointed 45 of his henchmen as consultants  paying them monthly a sum of Rs.65,000,00. When he was questioned in Parliament on this irregular appointments he said that he was helping those who helped him to win the Parliamentary seat.

Sarath Fonseka is his man to attack the Previous President Mahinda Rajapakse to deny him  political  influence in the country.

Sarath Fonseka is  also a corrupt person who got  the Sri Lanka Armed Forces, when he was the Army  Commander ,  to  purchase bullets and shells for the use of the Armed Forces from his son-in-law Danuna Tillekeratne’s Company Hicorp . The Company got  2 cents for every bullet fired by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces and 20 dollars for every shell.

There is no one capable of leading the UNP, therefore Ranil Wickramasinghe is UNP’s hobson’s choice as its leader. Karu Jayasuriya  is not independent even as the speaker of the Parliament he would not take any decision that would go against the UNP or its Leader. Sajith Premadasa is a man without any self confidence . There was once a group of members of the UNP who proposed him  to take over the leadership of the Party. But he quickly turned down the offer proposing that Karu Jayasuriya should be the leader.

Only person in the UNP who has leadership qualities is Rosy Senanayake. But she was not given even a ministerial responsibility. Rosy Senanayake would have certainly been a better Minister  than Sarath Fonseka- who remains a military man in his speech and behaviour. He is far from being a politician or the likes of one .

Malik Samarawickrama is another buddy of Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister. Samarawickrama is not an elected Parliamentarian, but he takes lot of initiatives that even a Minister does not take. He interferes with any Ministry he wants without consulting the Minister in Charge. There have been charges of corruption against him which have not been investigated as yet.

Prime Minister fools the people of Sri Lanka by making false statements. The Volkswagan motor car assembly, plant and a foreign glove producing company in Horana were all false publicity given with a view to fool the masses to believe that the Yahapalanaya government is carrying out projects financed by foreign investors.

Prime Minister makes most dangerous proposals without consulting the President , Cabinet or the Parliament. The creation of a Super Minister with powers to act beyond the powers of the Parliament was one such mind boggling project that came out of his mind. With a Prime Minister like him, it is dangerous to allow the passing of Agreements with India such as the ETCA, Hanuman Bridge or under ground tunnels to Sri Lanka from Tamil Nadu and  a direct overland transport system from India to Sri Lanka.

It is high time President Sirisena wakes up to stop this megalomaniac from ruining Sri Lanka.

Ranil Wickramasinghe is the one who did not allow a real democratically acceptable opposition in the Parliament, instead he appointed with the connivance of his buddy the Speaker TNA Parlimentarians as the Opposition of the Parliament to allow his  government a political support against the real  opposition.

Mangala Samaraweera is the other buddy, who keeps alive Ranil Wickramasinghe and his governments  servitude to the West. Samaraweera is on his own. He makes statements binding Sri Lanka without consulting the President or the Parliament. That is how he came to sponsor the American Human Rights resolution against Sri Lanka, with the consent of  the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe blinded by his ambition, and to be close to the West.

They all have a wonderful time at the expense of  Sri Lanka. They are able to do that thanks to the President Mahinda Rajapakse, who eliminated terrorism and brought peace to the country  under the blanket of which these Yahapalanaya goons have been so far very safe, to continue their attack on  Mahinda Rajapakse, his family and all who have any connection to him.

Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake is the Mervyn Silva of Ranil Wickramasinghe’s Yahapalanaya Government. He is there to catch thieves. He is  an extension to what JVP is doing. JVP members are also the buddies of Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister. They are all together in the exercise of ruining the Rajapakses and all connected to them along with Wimal Weerawansa who is a strong Critic of this Ayahapalanaya Government.

Ranil Wickramasinghe is completely out of touch with the ordinary masses of Sri Lanka. Raznil says  that when Yahapalanaya came into power Sri Lanka was like a patient on his death bed, and that they are going to treat the patient and bring him back to life to make this country a better place for the young people of this country.

But every one knows that Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has already killed the patient, and now it is only a Zombie that he is trying  to awaken. No good to the young, the old or the country will come by their doctoring a Zombie.

Best that the Prime Minister and his Government can do is to resign for the good of every one.

What is President Maithripala Sirisena doing supporting this man  Ranil Wickramasinghe who is going to hang on to being the Prime Minister at any cost. He will bring Sri Lanka not only to bankruptcy, but also to utter ruin balkanising it to please the minorities. If the President wants to Serve Sri Lanka in a positive manner, he should get rid of the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, and appoint a Patriotic Sinhala Buddhist as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.
