Let us unite to stop the West from breaking up our country on false accusations of violation of human rights.

We can face the hypocrisy of the West , evidently led by the British and now the Assistant Secretary of State of USA Robert Blake, to undermine the development of our country and break it up territorially if possible, and come off unscathed only if all Sri Lankans are united behind the government,

It is not difficult to do if political division in our country is not made the instrument to strengthen personal ambitions.

But unfortunately each one of the opposition political parties, has its own axe to grind. And opposition to the President, and his government have been made the spring board to achieve their political ambitions. Take for instance the UNP. The UNP is determined to discredit the government, and make it unpopular for the only reason, that it hopes the fall of the government would bring it back to power and Ranil Wickramasinghe could be made the next President.

Then we have Mangala Samaraweera , a man with a heart full of hatred who cannot offer love and affection to the people and the country. He has no political backing, but nevertheless, is doing his best to put the people and political parties against the President to take vengeance, for his removal from the Ministerial post in the government, making him a political vagabond.

It is really pathetic with the JVP which had every chance to become an important political party. But it is today without any political space to place its foot. JVP is manoeuvring with all types of gimmicks, trade union action and creating unrest in universities, to discredit the government of the President hoping to form a government of its own at the next general election.

The JVP in its blind stupidity became traitors to the people of the country voting against the extension of the state of emergency. The State of emergency is a security measure to protect the people from any dangerous situation that could be created by terrorist that may still be lying low as “sleepers” awaiting for an opportunity to cause terror by setting up suicide bombs . Now Anura Dissanayake, Lal Kantha, Tilvin Silva, Herath are going round spraying poison of hatred, which will poison themselves rather than the President or his Government.

Rauf Hakeem is the most unreliable political nonentity, he perhaps hopes to become the next Prime Minister in case Ranil Wickramasinghe is elected the President. Mano Ganeshan, is basically a terrorist supporter and a rabble rouser, who hopes to bring the Tamils of Sri Lanka and those of Tamil Nadu to set up a Tamil Homeland. Mano Ganeshan is not a patriot, he is there to break up Sri Lanka and cause dissention.

If these persons could work for the country and its people instead of trying to fulfil their own personal ambitions, Sri Lanka could certainly become a developed nation of the world despite the barriers that are being put on its path by the West. Sri Lanka has the potential for development, what it lacks is unity and a greater sense of patriotism to make our country rise above poverty and develop into economic significance.

The preoccupation of the opposition parties in Sri Lanka today is not to help the President who has achieved so much for the country risking his own life without seeking personal gain. He is being accused for giving places of importance to members of his family. Any person who looks at the situation as it was when he was elected as the President, will understand , that what he needed most at the time to fulfil his determination to end terrorism was to have around him people whom he could trust.

In that situation who else could he have trusted more than his own brothers. We see in Mangala Samaraweera, who has turned out to be a bitter enemy of the President today, that he could not have been a man of trust and confidence as a friend,

Every Sri Lankan worthy of being a citizen of this great country, owes so much to the President and his brothers for delivering us from terrorism, which had been the greatest evil that stopped Sri Lanka from progress and development. The President had the sixth sense at the moment of need to select people to be around him who would stand by him to carry on the administration of the government while terrorism is being gradually eliminated by the Armed Forces.

Those who had crossed over from the UNP understood the value of the man who had been elected by the people to lead the country. They new, that it was he who could give the country the correct leadership.

It is time now for the politicians to forget their differences and stand by the government. The Tamil people had never been deprived of their rights . The Tamil Community had been treated equally by the respective governments, and more so by the President Mahinda Rajapakse and his government.

It is the Tamil Politicians and the Tamil expatriates for their own personal benefit that continue to create an ethnic difference. There had been incidents involving the Tamils , the Muslims and the Sinhala. Those incidents cannot be continuously harped on to keep alive a non existent ethnic difference. The President and the Government should not, to satisfy the interfering International Community or the selfish Tamil politicians, sacrifice the rights of the Sinhala Community.

The ordinary people that count in the long run understand that the President and the Government had done their part for the benefit of the country and its people. Therefore, the opposition parties if they wish to have the support of the people at a future election, should rally round the government now to let the government carry out further progressive development for the benefit of the people and the country. The people will then recognise the opposition political parties as genuinely interested in the country and not seeking narrow personal benefits, by being critical of the government.

The International Community led by the former American Ambassador Robert Blake is joining with the pro terrorist expatriate Tamils who have no genuine interest in Sri Lanka other than to stop progressive development, and break it up to form a Tamil homeland. The only way to stop this dangerous manoeuvre is for all Sri Lankans to unite, behind the elected President and the Government.
