Mahadenamutta and five pupils |
The
Yahapalanaya is a Nadagama- Mahadenamutta and his pupils. Mahadenamutta had five pupils . He himself
had given names to them according to their appearance. One was Indikatu Pencha
– a thin tall man, Kotu Kithaiya the one who looked like a stick, his favourite
was Polbe Muna who had a round face like
half a coconut, Rabboda Aiya had
a big toddy belly, Puvak Badilla looked like an areccanut tree. Some of these characters could be
distinguished amoung the Yahapalana Nadagama crowd. Readers may name their
characters in the Yahapalana Nadagama as it pleases them.
Nadagama
begins with Pothe Gura announcing what is to follow- JVP fits into this role.
On the 8th
January,2015, Ravi Karunanayake had a
case for money laundering. The money is
said to have come from none other than
Raja Rajaratnam the fund provider
for the terrorists.
The Colombo
Telegraph reported “ The Attorney General indicted Nexia Corporation, Linton
Sirisoma and Karunanayake for allegedly facilitating money laundering in
violation of Central bank regulations and the Exchange Control Act by
depositing Rs. 390 million in a Standard Chartered bank account, which had been
later used to purchase shares of the Union Bank. The transfer had been made by
Sri Lankan American billionaire and hedge fund dealer Raj Rajarathnam.
During the hearings
it was alleged that Karunanayake was directly involved in the fraud and that he
intervened to collect the funds once the money was deposited in Sri Lanka .
In the meantime
there was a change of Government and as by magic Ravi Karunanayake the man who was under a Court order to
present himself at the Court in Colombo on the 29 January,2015 to face the money laundering charges against
him, was named by the unconstitutionally appointed UNP Prime
Minister Ranil Wickramasing as the
Finance Minister.
Colombo Telegraph
adds, that the “Exchange Control is the function of the Central Bank. The
Central Bank is governed by the Monetary Board. The Secretary/Finance (Treasury)
is a member of the Monetary Board. The Minister of Finance is the Boss of the
Secretary/Finance. How nice to have a person charged with Exchange Control
crimes as Finance Minister”
However,
the very day that Ravi Karunanayake had been ordered to attend court to face
money laundering charges, he had arranged to present the interim budget to the
Parliament. As he could not be
present both in the Court to face
charges of fraud and present the Budget
in Parliament at the same time the Justice had to adjust itself to accede to
the request of the money launderer and
postpones the hearing for the 4th March,2015. What a windfall to a money launderer.
This is Yahapalana
Nadagama. They swear to honour
democracy, fair-play and Justice , but from the Yahapalanaya President to the Police constable of the Yahapalanaya
Government police force on the road, they constantly break all democratic norms, moral
codes, Constitutional provisions and above all twist justice to suit the
political hierarchy in a syndrome of
fear amoung the Judges for political
punishment by Ranil Wickramasinghe of
Batalanda fame.
But yet we
hear them yelling that since they
have come to power there is democracy, press
freedom, justice, and no white vans.
They of the
Yahapalanaya Nadagama have changed the white van to the Black Maria
Immedately
after the Presidential elections of the 8th January, 2015, it was the beginning of the Nadagama. First the Marxist JVP-the pothe guras, who
joined hands with the Capitalist UNP to change Rajapakse Regime, with files
accusing the Previous President , members of his family, his government and all
his contacts , under their arms on their way to the Office of the Commissioner
of Bribery and Corruption. Then these “pothe guras” make the announcement
to the press giving details of their accusations presented to the Bribery Commission.
Whether
the accused is proved guilty or not is immaterial the notice of guilt is
announced to the press.
One year
after, the Yahapalana Nadagama is still
at its opening scene of carrying files containing accusations against
the latest members who have connection to Rajapakse family. To facilitate
matters they have gone a step further in their progressive development. First Ranil –Polbe Muna, created a FCID a secret police within the secret
police specially for the Rajapakse family, their friends and all and
sundry to be arrested taken in the Black
Maria and remanded. Judicial procedures
have been cut short. The arrested remain
in the remand jail until a judge is available to decide on their bailing out.
There have
been so many cases filed, but no action has been taken on any one of them. The Yahapalana Nadagama creates new courts and
commissions, all to accuse Rajapakse
family and all connected to that family and the members of the previous Government of Mahinda Rajapakse.
President
Maithripala Sirisena – Mahadenamutta, not to be outdone by Ranil the Polbe Muna with his FCID wanted a
Commission of his own to investigate the Rajapakses. The Special Presidential
Commission on Large scale corruption to which
the Previous President Mahinda Rajapakse and his wife - the former First
Lady are regularly called to take down statements. Latest we hear is that the former first Lady
may also be arrested and taken the Black Maria to the Welikada Prison.
Hiran
Fernando UNP Minister was shouting at the top of his voice at Derana Wadapitiya
today trying to justify action taken by
Yahapalana Nadagama by describing how Sarath Fonseka
was dragged from his legs from Hilton Hotel to Prison by the previous
government.
Besides these
Yahapalana Nadagama has an Anti Corruption Front, and a Committee against
Corruption headed by Ranil Wickramasinghe –Polbe Muna himself. JVP
too has set up its own three man Committee of Investigation. These are all there to investigate the
previous government, leaving unchecked the corruption of the actors of the
Yahapalanaya Nadagama.
This is the
progress and development of Sri
Lanka in terms of -the Yahapalana Nadagama
Raj
Gonsalkorale in an article in Asian Tribune justly says , “…..In this instance, the politics pertaining to allegations of
large scale corruption against the previous regime has some ironies that need
to be addressed. This is in regard to the inclusion of politicians belonging to
the regime being investigated, in the regime that is doing the investigating…..
….Beginning with President Sirisena himself who was a senior cabinet
member for ten years in the previous regime, there are several others.
Ministers Rajitha Senaratne, Rauf Hakeem, Champika Ranawake, Navin Dissanayake,
Duminda Dissanayake, Abdul Rishad Bathiudeen and Udelappan Palani Digambaram
were all part of the previous regime. Besides them, there are several State and
Deputy Ministers as well. They were all part of the previous regime.”
How much do
all these investigation Commissions, Committees, Fronts and the Criminal Investigation Divisions, and the
Police cost to the Yahapalana Nadagama with
a dwindling economy ?
At least
the roads that the previous government built bring in a substantial income
while Yahapalanaya Nadagama has done nothing to develop the economy, health or
wellbeing of the people, ever since it took office on the 9th
January,2015..
Yahapalana
Nadagama -They have failed even to build a decent Public Toilet any where in
Sri Lanka .
The period
of time , since 8th January, 2015, is being used for investigations
into the previous government of Mahinda Rajapakse searching for the bounties of
his corruption which has eluded them, but provided the Yahapalana Nadagama a stage
to carry on with its boring Nadagama.
In the
meantime, National Freedom Front has lodged a complaint at the Bribery
Commission that the Minister Rajitha Senaratne- the Puwak Badilla, had acquired a fleet of 8 crafts at a cost of
400 million rupees and the fleet had caught an estimated haul of fish worth Rs. 2 billion,
which had not been accounted for. But
the investigations are slow or forgotten
if they concern the comedians of the Yahapala Nadagama.
The biggest Bank fraud of Sri Lanka
took place immediately after the Yahapalanaya Nadagma started its theatrical
performance .
The Sri Lanka BRIEF reported,
“ The entire
business community was shocked with the blatant abuse of power of the Central
Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendren to help his infamous son in law Arjun Aloysius,
known for his infamous EPF deals with the previous government, resulting in the
fund losing over 2 billion Rupees. To date the government has not investigated
a single transaction and it will never happen under the current regime. …………………..CB
governor’s son in law were involved in the previous regime’s EPF dealings
amounting to Billions as well, no action has been taken so far against his
company Perpetual ltd. Now he has taken it to another level because he has
the support of his Governor Father in law and the Prime Minister whom he refers
to Uncle Ranil in conversations.”
No body neither Arjun
Mahendran nor his son-in-law Arjun Aloysius has been taken for questioning by
the FCID on the Central Bank Bond Scam issue.
But in the case of Yoshitha
Rajapakse it was different, FCID was very prompt in taking Yoshitha into
custody without any valid reason; only a
story of money laundering. The
importance of taking Yoshitha into custody
is because the Independence day is
3 days away and Yoshitha Rajapakse is a price catch, before President Sirisena –Mahadenamutta takes the
salute of the march past on the Independence Day.
And Prince Zeid Ra’ad
AL-Hussein of hybrid Court fame will be
in town on the 5th February, and
Ranil- Polbe Muna can tell the
Prince, that Rajapakse Family has been brought to books. But
when it comes to actors of the Yahapalanaya Nadagama their cases can wait.
In an interview to
Ceylon Today, Rajitha Senaratne –Puwak
Badilla answering a question by Anura Bandara Rajaguru: A complaint has been filed against you in the Bribery
and Corruption Commission. What is your response to the demand for your
resignation? Rajitha Senaratne – the Puwak Badilla says:
“In that case, the best way to get somebody to resign is to complain to a Commission somewhere. Complaining is not sufficient. The case must be proved. I have no reasons to resign. We are leading a massive struggle against bribery and corruption.”
“In that case, the best way to get somebody to resign is to complain to a Commission somewhere. Complaining is not sufficient. The case must be proved. I have no reasons to resign. We are leading a massive struggle against bribery and corruption.”
When it concerns the actors
of the Yahapalana Nadagama , the FCID looks at the offence differently. And the Yahapalana Nadagama actors have no
fear. FCID is like a trained dog. It
does not bite the handlers.
The Governor of the
Central Bank and his Son in Law are drinking and dining with the Yahapalanay Nadagama
crowd.
Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou
see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.(St.Mathew)
Mum is the word on the
Central Bank Bond Scam amoung the Yahapalana Nadagama Circle ,
while they are all out to catch wives of the ministers of former government for
having a passport with a wrong date of
birth, or taking the former first lady to record statements, or arrest an MP because he had two passports.
Ranil –the Polbe
Muna, made a fiery speech in
Parliament –which was unparliamentary bashing the Journalists. He spoke of his being a Buddhist when every
one knows that he is a born Christian with an uncle a Bishop- the Late Bishop Lakshman Wickramasinghe of
the Kurunegala Diocese. Polbe Muna demonstrated how he prays Buddha clapping his hands and said he does
not say Rajapaksa saranang gachchami.
That was Yahapalana
Nadagama at its best for his UNP cohorts. Ranil-the Polbe Muna was
turning round laughing at his own jokes
pulling up his trousers, not allowing it to fall down , the UNP
Ministers around him Kiriella- Kotu Kithaiya-, Ravi Karunanayaka-Rabboda
Aiya and the rest of the lot
were thumping on the tables and clapping
hands. Polbe Muna was acting his
part well.
Champika Ranawake –the
Indikatu Pencha was in Hiru TV Salakuna . He says that it was he who did every thing that
was beneficial to the country in the previous government. President Rajapakse had achieved
nothing. It was he who went to Mavil
Aru and asked Mahinda Rajapakse to wage
a war against the terrorists. Mahinda Rajapakse wanted to merely give millions
of Rupees to Prbhakaran to protect himself and his family. He was arranging with a LTTE agent to arrange
a meeting with Prabhakaran for him to talk peace. When the Hiru TV Moderatoer asked him whether it was really he who did every thing.? He said, “
that is why I used the “We”.”
Champika Ranawaka-Indikatu Pencha spoke with so much
hatred when he referred to Mahinda Rajapakse one really wondered what Mahinda
Rajapakse had done to him. Champika-the Indikatu Pencha of the Yahapalana
Nadagama says he represent JHU a party
of the followers of Buddhism , if so how can he have so much of hatred in him.
About Ekneligoda he said that people responsible for his disappearance should
be arrested.
When the
Moderator said that there were reports that
Champika Ranawaka also had a grudge against Ekneligoda for a letter he
had published in Sinhala News Paper, Champika was really angry and said how
people were trying to destroy him and his children.
Champika Ranawaka
awakened to love of his own children and spoke hatefully of the people who scandalised him publishing a letter to the
press, but with regard to arrest of Yoshitha he said that it was Mahinda
Rajapakse who had asked for it, therefore it is normal that Yoshitha had been arrested. He- the Indikatu Pencha is really
playing the part of a villain in the Yahapalana Nadagama.
Yahapalan Nadagama
speaks of maintaining a Unitary Country and vows not to entertain Federalism,
but in the same breath allows the National Anthem to be sung in Tamil. A Nation
has one National Anthem and that is in
all countries sung in the language of the Majority.
Yahapalana
Nadagama ruins all aspect of Sri Lanka , economic, social, geographic,
political and also religious aspect of Sri Lanka . Sri Lanka ’s uniqueness is in
its Sinhala Theravada Buddhist
culture. Tamil Culture is amply
represented in Tamil Nadu, Muslim culture in all Arab countries, Pakistan ,
Indonesia etc.
Therefore it is the
duty of every Sri Lankan to protect the Theravada Buddhist Culture of Sri Lanka. The Yahaplanaya Nadagama is now taking on
itself the control of the Buddhist monks.
If a Buddhist Kathikawatha has to be legalised, it is normal that it
should be done, but what is wrong is the way it has been proposed.
The three Nikayas of Sri Lanka should have been asked to prepare a
Kathikawatha and presented it to the Parliament to put it into a legal format.
The Theravada Buddhist Kathikawatha
should have come from the Buddhist monks to the Parliament and not from
Parliament to the Buddhist monks.
