The most ridiculous theatrical shows continue to be enacted within the
once august meeting place of the
people’s representatives the Parliament. Can one call a Parliament is in
session when there is only the opposition seated in their seats with a theatrically attired speaker in Chair?
The Comedy Francaise has a great
classical, cultural value.
But the theatrical sessions of the Parliament of Sri Lanka being enacted
these days with Karunasena Jayasuriya in Chair in his British theatrical
costume, are neither classical, nor cultural, but a pure display of hatred , vengeance, with
sometime even criminal undertones, calling the people to surround the house of Ministers
and rebel against the Constitutionally formed government, which they say is non
existent.
There is no functioning Parliament
in Sri Lanka
It is the Judiciary that bungled in haste allowing the Parliament to
continue its session until their verdict on the illegal opposition, as the
Attorney General had informed the Judges,
to the Presidential decision to appoint a new Prime Minister and a new
Government, and issuing a gazette
notification to dissolve the parliament to hold general elections.
The law students are perhaps aware of mock trials in preparing them for exams, where the students try to make the mock
trials as real as far as possible. It is exactly that which is happening in the
Sri Lanka Parliament now which has been
boycotted by the government as the opposition has made the Parliament a show
place for rhetoric. They have all become great politicians speaking lightly and
without respect for persons and office.
In the meantime, the Government of Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse appointed by
the President as the Prime Minister, and
his Cabinet of Ministers are working hard to re establish the disorder the
country had been put into by three years of “non-rule” by the Yahapalanaya
Government. But the mock Parliament in
session in the mean time try to put barriers before Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse and his Government doing their best
to give what ever relief they can to the people who had been put into financial
difficulties, and help them continue their work for their lively hood,
while helping the farmers to plough
their fields, despite the present difficulties being created by the UNP and its allied partners.
The fear that both the UNP and its allied partners and the JVP dreaming
to establish a Marxist Government have is that, within a short time the Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse and his
Cabinet of Miniters may carry out an efficient refurbishment and bring back a
little relief to the people which would put him in an advantageous position to
face the coming General election.
Hence they are doing their damnedest possible against the Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse and his
Cabinet of Ministers from carrying out their work to put to right what had been
done wrong by the Yahapalanaya government. The only way they can disable the
Mahinda Rajapakse Government from working for the welfare of the people is by
passing various legislations accepted as passed by the Speaker of the House who it seems to have momentarily gone insane.
Most hard hitting rhetoric comes from the Marxists of the JVP Anura
Kumara Dissanayake, Bimal Ratnayake etc, and
from Champika Ranawake who is hoping that by some chance the post of the Opposition candidate for the next
Presidential election may fall on his lap.
The speeches of the Marxist JVP speakers
which lack moral, religious or
disciplined eloquence, may be a bad influence on the minds of the Sri Lanka youth
who are already suffering from an unknown malaise which was highlighted
recently from a group of youth videoing a young woman being strangled to death
by another without coming to the help of
the victim.
However, the most virulent un Buddhist speeches attacking Prime Minister
Mahinda Rajapakse and his cabinet by a
man in yellow robes Dambara Amila have been exposed as being made for a fee of Rupees
95000 per month paid by Littro gaz.
There is also the danger of the mock parliamentary sessions open to the
view of the public, may contribute to endanger the morality of the Sri Lankan Youth, as the speakers go
unchallenged and uncorrected with their
indiscipline immoral speeches of hatred and vengeance against their “enemy”
the Prime Minister and his Cabinet who are carrying out their duties legitimately entrusted to
them for the welfare of the country and the people.
People should take serious note of these self appointed saviours of
democracy, and good governance from slowing down the Government of Prime
Minister Mahinda Rajapakse’s process of bringing back to normal the three years
of bad Yahapalanaya governance, which had denied to the people any relief from rampant cost of living
through anti people taxes imposed by the Yahapalanaya Government.
The Yahapalanaya Government which
was being directed by the West holding before it the GPS and other minor relief to make Sri Lanka dependent on the West and
agree to pass a new Constitution with a federal twist to give an Eelam State to
the Tamils and make Sri Lanka a non religious state by removing any special
consideration for Buddhism as it had
been done in previous Constitutions.
JVP is already asking that they be given the right to rule the country
and with that idea behind, it is
carrying on a bitter campaign to make the Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse and his Ministers unpopular
amoung the people, and obstruct the work the Prime Minister and his Cabinet of
Minister are doing to ameliorate the living conditions of the people. The mock
sessions of the Parliament have stopped the Prime Minister and his Cabinet of
Ministers have resort to funds for proceeding with their work, by passing mock legislation.
As the Parliament is
presently not functioning in its
legal form, there is a question whether the mock legislation passed at the mock
sessions of the Parliament have any legal value.
One does not know what could be expected from the independent judiciary
in this regard.
Would their decisions make it
still more difficult for the people to expect the Government led by the Prime
Minister Mahinda Rajapakse carry on its work for the immediate betterment of
the conditions of the people, or whether they would be again thrown back to the
Yahapalanaya wolves now reduced to the UNP , TNA, and JVP ?
