Every one who voted this disastrous government calling itself the Yahapalanaya into power may now be regretting, except of course the Tamils, Muslims the Civil Society Organisations bought over by the government and those who exist as ministers , administrators in some way connected in supporting this ambiguous Yahapalanaya Government.
Its calamitous
existence is complete with its latest recruit as a most unlikely Minister
Sarath Fonseka. He has been recruited to carry out ani-Rajapakse hate speeches in
Parliament in the presence of the former
President Mahinda Rajapakse who is a Parliamentarian. Sarath Fonseka is a scandalous appointment,
a man having no intelligence to make an
acceptable political speech in the Parliament.
He and his Party were unceremoniously
rejected by the people at the General election of the 17 August.
Back in Sri Lanka travelling to Jaffna in a bus I met a young man. He was tall, strong
and handsome wearing army fatigue
carrying a heavy back pack . He sat by my side . I spoke to him. He was a Soldier returning to Camp after leave. I asked him about the war . He said that he had fought face to face with
the terrorists. He was in Army Commander
Sarath Fonseka’s platoon.
He spoke to
me about the Army Commander Sarath Fonseka with fascination. He told me how he gave precise instructions, and planned strategies, the formation in which
the platoon should proceed , what precautions to take when they feel the presence of the enemy. He said he was a good Commander a good
military man, but he said out side his
Army role he was a bad man very cruel
and too strict with those who worked for him outside Army duties.
He told me
how Foneka had ordered his cook to
prepare milk rice and a good “lunu Miris”, but when he came to the table for
his breakfast he found the “lunu miris” not to his
liking. He had called the cook and when he came Fonseka had taken
dish full of “lunu Miris” and
rubbed it on the cooks face. The poor man had run out screaming. He said that he had heard even to his family
he sets unimaginable punishments. He said
that he had heard, that he
punished his wife by making her kneel
down on the floor until he orders her to get up.
From the
way he speaks in the Parliament disparaging the former President Mahinda
Rajapakse who made a hero of him., there is the possibility of these anecdotes of
his cruelty not untrue.
There are
many who try to take credit for the elimination of terrorism, even Athureliya
Ratana Thero minimises the role played by the former President Mahinda
Rajapakse in the elimination of terrorism, he says that it was he who was responsible for the
end of terrorism in Sri
Lanka .
Sarath
Fonseka who brags that elimination of terrorism is his work does not say why he
could not have eliminated terrorism before
Mahinda Rajapakse was elected President,
Sarath Fonseka was in the Armed Forces
long before Mahinda Rajapakse was elected President.
Sarath
Fonseka made a venomous maiden speech as a new member of the
Parliament salivating poison to attack
the former President Mahinda Rajapakse,
ranting the most stupid speech you could
ever expect as a maiden speech of
a new Parliamentarian. It is like the speech of a street ruffian paid to insult
an opponent. Did Ranil Wickramasinghe appoint him a Minister for that very
purpose ?
The former
President Mahinda Rajapakse against whom Sarath Fonseka salivated remains a knight in a shining silver armour
untouched by putrid venom spat by the worst
kind of scum in today’s Parliament.
Of course the UNP Yahapalanaya Ministers were happy and clapped and
encouraged Sarath Fonseka to spit more
venom.
It was
during the Presidential election of 2010, that he demanded his opponents
meaning Gotabhaya and Mahinda Rajapakse to prepare floor mats to lie on the
Bogambara prison floor. He spilled in his
hate speeches drab uncouth words of
his limited vocabulary to please the unrefined
fans. His speeches were a disgusting
show of shamelessness, calling by names of
animals every one he disliked . The
strange speeches he made during his
political campaign showed his dislike for others, and his inappropriateness to be a politician.
Sarath
Fonseka wanted to be a Pinochet sort of a President in Sri Lanka . It
was a great fortune of Sri
Lanka that Sarath Fonseka was defeated at
the Presidential election of 2010. He was crying out from roof tops that he was
defeated because of a computer jilmart.
Sixyears after at the August, 2015
General elections Sarath Fonseka and his
Political Party was rejected by the
people.
They managed to get only 28000 votes in the
whole Island . People do not care any more for
what he had been during the terrorist military operations, People detest his
ego centricity in trying to get the credit for wining the war against terrorism
for himself. Field Marshal means nothing to the people of Sri Lanka .
Those badges and insignias are not what people respect. They respect a man for
his human qualities.
It is not
money, past heroic deeds, or
presidential support that matter for people to like a parliamentarian. The words a person uses
are important measurements of his quality.
People judge individuals from what he says. Sarath Fonseka is no more a person liked by the people for his part in terrorist
war. Now it is forgotten, the people see him in Parliament without his uniform in a new role
in which he is a square peg in a
round hole.
But his
uncontrolled words of hatred he
dribbles out in parliament against a
very much loved former President Mahinda
Rajapakse have made him an object of
hatred of the people. He should see
around and learn lessons. Donald Trump a rich businessman who began his USA Presidential campaign as a
likely Republican Candidate to be the next President, is
beginning to be loosing his place in the campaign because of his uncontrolled use of words.
Sarath
Fonseka is an extremely ambitious man. He
may perhaps have contemplated a military
take over of the government. What he was planning to do immediately after the
end of the terrorist war remains an enigma.
It has been said that he wanted to recruit more soldiers and purchase
more arms and ammunitions when the
terrorist war was over.
It had been
said that he had summoned retired army officers
who were his close associates and accommodated them in hotel rooms he had reserved in Colombo . It was after
investigation of these that it is said
that the army had got the police to arrest him.
Therefore,
it appears that there had been some
secret illegal activities that had required the arrest of Sarath Fonseka, his imprisonment
and subsequent legal actions being taken against him. There may have been a
secret preparation for a military coup. Therefore,
those who blame the former President Mahinda Rajapakse as responsible for the
imprisonment of Sarath Fonseka , should consider whether there had been other valid reasons for that
unfortunate incident.
The then
President Mahinda Rajapakse was a kind man, he may not have wanted to make a
public issue of Sarath Fonseka’s plans.
He may have instead let legal action follow any revelations of doubtful
activities of the Army Commander. Even Sarath
Fonseka’s son-in –law had been some how connected with the army, in whatever
was his business activities.
There was
also a talk of a cache of bundles of new dollar notes found in the
cupboard of a member of his family.
There was then no FCID like that of Ranil Wickramasinghe to make
investigations public, even before accusations are made. Therefore, one has to take these into
consideration to understand why Sarath Fonseka
is now using all his energy in the character assassination of Mahinda
Rajapakse and Gotabhaya Rajapakse. Was it because of a failed attempt of a military
coup ?
It was Rajapakse’s
who made a great hero of him, and he was
grateful and gave interviews praising both the President Mahinda Rajapakse and
Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse.
To-day he
is sitting with the people who ridiculed his role as the Commander of the Sri
Lanka Armed Forces. Lakshaman Kiriella said any donkey can fight a war, Ravi
Karunanayake said he was not fit to be
even in the Salvation Army, Ranil Wickramasinghe said there were no terrorists
in Toppiagala etc. These very same people
have now given Sarath Fonseka
a new uniform, medals and a hat calling
him a Field Marshal.
We see the
UNP Parliamentarians hanging onto every word of Sarath Fonseka clapping and
encouraging him, in his mudslinging speeches in Parliament. Sarath Fonseka is unable to make an
intelligent political speech, therefore every speech of his in Parliament would
be a verbal attack against Rajapakses,
the only subject he seems to know.
Today Field
Marshal Sarath Foseka has become a
propaganda officer for Yahapalanaya and
mudslinger at the former President Mahinda Rajapakse, which has become his full
time job. In this he joins the rest of theYahapalanaya UNP crowd led by Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil
Wickramasinghe.
Sarath
Fonseka is the Yahapalanaya Minister of
UNP Smear Campaign against Mahinda Rajapakse, Slander, Denigration ,
Defamation and Calumny.
