The thirty
years of terrorism though it affected the whole country through uncertainty of
life, threat of the division of the country, loss of peace and security , we
the Sinhala Buddhists were able to keep
the unity of the communities suffering under terrorism , protect the Sinhala Buddhist culture, maintain the pride
of being members of a Sri Lankan nation,
and the willingness to fight against terrorism despite the risk to life, and continue our religious practices without fear and
maintain a satisfactory standard of living., even if that was at a
great lost of life and property.
But today,
after four years of Yahapalanaya of
Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickramasinghe , what is left of that Sri Lanka
which existed before they came into power on the 8th January,2015
?
Yahapalanaya
boasts that it brought back democracy ,
and allowed media freedom. But they
presume the people have forgotten what
the situation was before 8th
January2015. It was different, with a
most ruthless terrorism which no one from
JR Jayawardhana to Chandrika Kumaratunga was able to stop. But, even then, democracy was
not at stake, though a certain
amount of media control was necessary.
No one
can remove the frightful situation that existed
then in Sri Lanka
, when criticising Mahinda Rajapakse and
his Government. Things were unusual and
the actions that had to be taken were also unusual. Mahinda Rajapakse’s government had to move cautiously keeping in
mind the existing uncertain situation with terrorism on the one onehand with foreign interventionists try to thwart military operations, and on the
other hand to feed a nation, keep employment
at a safe level, and carry
out development projects .
But the UNP
Parliamentarians at TV political debates incessantly shout themselves hoarse on
Rajapussella shooting incident, a white van culture, disappearance of
journalists without having any substantial proofs of involvement of Mahinda Rjapakse and his
government.
The main
accusation levelled at Mahinda Rajapakse and his government is that it was
corrupt. But no one has been able to prove until today whether Mahinda
Rajapakse and his family and his close
associates had committed any serious bank robberies or misappropriations.
But there are only rumours , false unfounded accusations, and
garish scandalous utterances, all merely to slander, insult to make Mahinda Rajapakse, his family and his
associates unpopular, with the intention of keeping political power in their own hands. Even then although they took over the Government from Mahainda
Rajapakse , they could not take away from
Mahinda Rajapakse and his associates the
love, the affection, and the confidence the real people of the country had placed on them.
On the 8th
January,2015 the people voted for Maithripala Siriuesena, but the people never
voted for Ranil Wickramasinghe to become the Prime Minister . Ranil
wickramasinghe was only appointed the Prime Minister by the President
Maithripala Sirisena.
There is now a
rift between the President and the Prime Minister- a disagreement of political views and political action. This
means that there is a rift also in the
confidence the people placed on
President Maithripala Sirisena as
President, viz a viz Ranil Wickramasinghe who was
selected by the President as the
Prime Minister.
Unfortunately
the Judiciary erred in their decision that the President had no right to
dissolve the parliament before the end of four and a half years. Since then
Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister has been taking arbitrary decisions on various matters without consulting the
President or the Parliament, to the detriment of the country.
Today Sri Lanka
is facing a serious political situation with almost empty state coffers,
administrative mismanagement by entering into agreements with foreign countries resulting in loosing the sovereignty of the
country, making Sri Lanka a
play ground for the USA and the West like what Cuba was under Baptista before
Fidel castro ousted him .
Both USA and Canada are what they are today
because of the complete depletion of the population of the original inhabitants
of the country the American Indians and the Canadian First Nation. They talk of democracy having nailed the
coffins of the real owners of the America and Canada .
They
used a man’s weakness for sex to deprive France of perhaps a good President. They are trying to
do that to Sri Lanka by
using the sin of having taken USA
citizenship to deprive a man loved by the people of Sri
Lanka from: becoming a good President to his motherl and his people in Sri Lanka .
To-do all
that USA along with the Western Governments has done
to Sri Lanka is to help setting up a weak puppet yahapalanaya
government in Sri Lanka using their agent the
member of the International Democratic Union
Ranil Wickramasinghe. The UNP Parliamentarians and members of the UNP follow Ranil Wickramasinghe without questioning his actions or intentions.
Yahapalanaya
Government from the day it was set up in Jnauary,2015 traced a path to
destroy Sri Lanka nurtured in its Sinhala Buddhist Culture, by giving an
important place for a process of
reconciliation with the Tamils. They commenced by destroying the identity of
Sri Lanka by allowing the National Anthem to be sung in Sinhala and Tamil, a thing that never happened in any other
Country in the world before. All nations have one National Anthem sung in
one language- the language of the majority.
After that
the Yahapalanaya set the trail for leading the country towards bankruptcy by
staging a Bond Scam robbery twice and
emptied the Government Coffers and went on a spree of debt raising putting the
blame on the necessity to re-pay loans taken
by the previous government of President Mahinda Rajapakse for the develop of
the country.
Yahapalanaya
also began by stopping development projects started by Mahinda
Rajapaksa government. it stopped the
development work of the Colombo City funded by China causing unemployment to thousands of workers.
Groping in political darkness Ranil Wickramasinghe who had diminished the
powers of the President Sirisena under 19A was acting on his own signing
agreements with Singapore , India , China
and USA
without consulting the President or the parliament.
The
Presidential election is due to be held
in Sri Lanka and if by some bad luck or through the sins the people have
committed, and for their bad kamma Ranil Wickramasinghe or a some one from the political front lead by him would
come to power, that would be the end of Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka with over
2000 years of history.
The
people of Sri Lanka should wake up to the looming danger and avoid voting for any Presidential Candidate of the UNP or a
United Front lead by the UNP, Ranil Wickramasinghe or the J.V.P.
If Sri Lanka
is to be saved from dangers it is facing today a solution is with the former
President Mahinda Rajapakse who had the
vision and the ability to find ways to win the war with the ruthless terrorists, and parallel to it develop the country from rigors
of a thirty year terrorism and the ashes of poverty.
The
ability of setting the Sri Lanka back on its feet to walk towards a targeted
development process, is in the camp of the Sri Lanka Podu Janaperamuna led by
Mahinda Rajapakse and his patriotic supporters.
One has to
tread the ground carefully in making plans to rescue Sri Lanka dragging it out of the
political, economic and social mire into which it has been pushed by
Yahapalanaya goons blinded by power,
clean, and nurse the Country
before setting it back on its staggering feet weakened after four and a half
years of destructive Yahapalanaya.
Sri
Lanka Podujana Peramuna would probably
propose the former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse as their
Presidential Candidate . He has shown his ability to stand against foreign
powers and face the local political and
racial elements in the interest of the country and produce strong surprisingly
fresh development projects to develop towns and the country, using the Armed Forces
in useful development projects.
There
may be those who criticise him for personal reasons but if one is selflessly
looking at the country as a whole, the ideal candidate for the Presidential
election, and subsequently to lead the
Country as its President would certainly be Gotabhaya Rajapakse, even if there
are complaints that he is a military man rather than a politician to be the
President of Sri Lanka, Once in power he is quite capable of adjusting himself to political needs as he proved his ability to
successfully coordinate different Armed
Forces of the ground, air and sea, to eliminate terrorism from Sri Lanka, and
later to start development projects bringing
peace and security to the country.
