Sterilising women with pills.


Recently in Ampara there was a manifestation of the people against Muslim eateries for supposed to have introduced pills to sterilise Sinhala women. Some time ago  a Bakery near a Girls’ School in Katugastota was similarly accused of selling cakes from two counters one for Sinhala Girls and another for Muslim Girls. The cakes sold to Sinhala Girls were supposed to have contained the dreaded sterility pills. The Bakery was finally closed down.

The JVP which is trying to be the Diyasena of Sri Lanka today–a panacea to all political ills coming from Yahapalanaya  on one side, and the Rajapaksas and SLPP on the other,  deplore these current unrest between the Muslim and Sinhala Communities.

The JVP went for the Local Government election crying high and low its political slogan  that the Yahaplanaya government representing the UNP and the SLFP,  and SLPP representing the President Mahinda Rajapakse are all thieves, bribe takers, and with them there is no political future for the country, therefore the people should vote for the JVP the party which consists of honest Diyasernas who can revitalise and bring peace and prosperity to Sri Lanka.

But unfortunately for JVP, the people  preferred to avoid Diyasenas and voted for the SLPP which represented their dear President Mahinda Rajapakse who ended the 30 year war , developed the country to a great extent and thwarted the separatist Tamil political effort to a Communal division of the country.

The writer had stressed in several articles to Lankaweb , that the JVP if they are a Marxist political party as they like to call themselves, should have nothing to do with the Capitalist UNP and other reactionary forces, but unite with the Socialist movement of the Country represented today by SLPP to make the people experience their positive contribution to the development of Sri Lanka,  instead of running after  illusive thieves they say are with President Mahinda Rajapakse and the SLPP .

Now after having been completely and shamefully  rejected by the people at the Local Government elections, the JVP is making use of the present upsurge of Communal tension between the Muslims and the Sinhala, to show that JVP is again the political panacea for the settlement of Communal tension. 

They –the JVP,  say that,  the people should not follow  either the Yahapalanaya with its UNP and other reactionary forces , as they are creating the Communal tension to stay in power,  nor  the SLPP and Mahinda Rajapakse as they are creating  Communal  tension to come back to power. Therefore the people have only one choice  the JVP, which is between the present two villainous political groups in fray, which is capable of settling the present communal upheaval.

JVP assures the people that the  so called sterilising pills found  in the food served in a Muslim Restaurant were inoffensive lumps of flour.  And JVP member Handunetti stressed that there is no such thing as pills to sterilise women and it is only an excuse for certain political elements in Ampara to accuse the innocent Muslims, making it political issue.

However, Handunetti is not far from the truth that there is no pills in the world market to  sterilize women, and what was said to have been found in the food served in a Muslim Restaurant may have been “some thing different”.

Only way to sterilize a woman  it is said is by blocking the  fallopian tubes to stop male sperm from reaching the womb. 

But, there isnevertheless, a  pill called the Abortion pill which can force miscarriage in a woman if administered during the early period of conception. Only way to find out whether such pills are being  used in an “unauthorised manner “, is to collect statistics from hospitals in areas where any pills were found in the food, to see whether there had been reports of an  abnormal  number of cases of miscarriages amoung the women in the area. That may be a clue, or  a  mere coincidence.


But danger of such reports is that it can create a psychological fear of conception amoung women that may cause miscarriages. However, finding unknown substances in food served to people in Muslim eateries should be investigated. Our own Muslims may not indulge in such activities , but the infiltration of foreign Muslim fanatics in to Muslim villages cannot be ruled out.

We never believed that our Tamil youth could be trained as terrorists in the Jungles of South India, but it did happen and when we came to know about it,  it was too late. There are reports that there are special schools that teach terror in the name of God. Hence it is the role of the Government to see that no such thing is being prepared secretly  in the backwoods of Sri Lanka.

Unfortunately  our Secret Service has been completely dis-organised by Sirisena Ranil Yahapaalanaya Government,  and we do not seem to have a reliable Secret Service. With the American and British Agents interfering into our Armed Forces providing them with training  etc.,  our Armed Forces are disarmed against questionable activities by Foreign Forces  which may be  detrimental to Communal relations in our Country.

Therefore, JVP in assuming to be the Divine Saviour of  Sri Lanka presently in complete political disarray, may be forgetting that there may be activities  taking place behind scene -in the back stage, which may  rise up one day and go completely uncontrollable , as it was with  terrorism in 1970s.
