A Message to UNP Backbenchers to form a new political party or reconstruct the Old getting rid of the destructive elements.

It is perhaps because they are rich and that their parents  were from  UNP, that the UNP Parliamentary backbenchers do not see that the old capitalist system is not suitable  to Sri Lanka any more.

When we got our Independence in 1948 there was Colonialism. It was the Russian Revolution that influenced  Colonies to gain Independence. After Russian revolution Communism spread in Europe and the ideas of a Socialist  system of government, different from Capitalism began to take root in European Countries,  and even  those countries that got  independence from colonial rule.  

In Sri Lanka capitalism- a political  system, a step away from  feudalism that existed in pre-colonial Sri Lanka, was acceptable to the then political leaders, who  continued with the capitalist parliamentary system proposed by their  Colonial Masters. They interpreted the Socialist system of Government  the Communist and the Samasamaja Parties were proposing to the people ,   a system of government against religion,  and  against accepted Buddhist Cultural norms where they addressed everyone including their elders as Comrades.

The Marxists- the Samasamaja and the Communist parties found  that their revolutionary political ideas  were more easily accepted by the working class, and hence neglected  the farmers and the peasants of the villages outside townships.

However the leaders of the  Marxist Parties,  N.MPerera, Colvin R De Silva, Bernard Soysa,Dr.Wickramasinghe, Keunaman, Philip and Robert Gunewardhan brothers, William Silva were becoming popular political figures as people began to understand them through their speeches that Socialism they proposed was a people friendly system  more acceptable than the  capitalist British system of the less  talkative political leaders – of the Sinhala Mahasabha the  predecessors to the UNP system.

By 1951 the UNP Government started having political difference within the party. D.S.Senanayake died in 1952. The UNP then as they are today were leaning heavily towards the Western Countries , and they were not willing to change their western capitalists  system to a people friendly system of Government.

The political leaders of the UNP then,  as they are  now were  more concerned  about themselves  and kept the people dependent on their capitalist  system, placing them-selves above the ordinary people and within their feudal hierarchic system. The people were   depending on them as the slaves of their Capitalist system of Government. Even today we see how much they look for their place in the social hierarchy, when a wife of a UNP Presidential hopeful tells the people at a public meeting  that she is the future first lady of Sri Lanka.

Seeing that UNP will not move from their  assumed  social superiority to form a people friendly Government, SWRD Bandaranayake left the UNP to give the people of Sri Lanka their  cultural and national rights denied to them by the Colonial rulers, as well as by  the UNP Government,  SWRD Banadaranaike  formed a government  of the people giving the rightful place to  Buddhist Monk,  the physician,  the teachers, and the peasant and the farmer.  He further put right the wrong political system by which the country had been ruled since independence by joining hands with the left wing politicians of the Samasamaja Party, Mahajana Eksath Peramuna and the Communist Party. He made meaningful the National anthem and the National flag.

The UNP Backbenchers should look  back and see for themselves  the failure of their  Capitalist System of Government, which has not contributed to the development of an Independent Sri Lankan Culture, society, or  even such an economy. There was a  cultural revival in Sri Lanka only after 1956 and that was not under the UNP.

The UNP Backbenchers should note  that  the system of government necessary for the benefit of  Sri Lanka,   and its people, is a system away from Western Capitalism, a socialist system. That is the demand of the people. It is why  Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna has become a popular party of the people, within a short time it was  announced as a Political Party.

The people will not vote for the present SLFP too if it contests any election in future as they have failed in 2015 to respect the  very reason that made SWRD Bandaranayaike leave the UNP in 1951 to form a Socialist Government in 1956 and join with the leftwing Political Parties.

To-day the General Secretary of the SLFP Dayasiri Jayasekara unable to feel the pulse of the people, is making a great effort to  make SLFP an independent party without joining the progressive Sri Lanka Socialist political Camp led by  Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna. This may be  because Dayasiri Jayasekara  comes from UNP and he can  not sense the thinking of SWRD Bandaranayake when he left UNP to form the SLFP.  Today SLFP has lost the reasons for which it was organised by its founder and therefore  SLFP is reduced to a mere a name board. It is likely to break up and some of its members  may even join the UNP.

The UNP, states   as a criticism against the former Government of President Mahinda Rajapakse , that it  antagonised the Western Countries led by USA, and boasts that the UNP has now established friendly relations with those countries.

The UNP backbenchers when they speak in TV debates etc.,  should make sure of what they say without repeating what had been told by the UNP leaders.  The UNP backbenchers should investigate the truth.  

Mahinda Rajapakse and his government did not want to antagonise USA and the west, but they wanted them kept away from Sri Lanka until they  completed the military operations against terrorism.

But again Mahinda Rajapakse government  had invited USA to help Sri Lanka  to defeat terrorism, which USA did by locating the most of the ten LTTE ships transporting arms and ammunitions for terror purposes.

Yet other than that can the UNP backbenchers say whether USA had really helped Sri Lanka at any time in the past ?

USA is a country which has still not helped any developing countries in the world to develop even by giving them  loans.  JR Jayawardhan the UNP President had accepted USA as his close friend.  JR was in fact called Yankee Dicky. When he became the President he had no fear even about terrorism as he thought USA  would stand by him to defeat terrorism and help him bring peace and security to Sri Lanka.  Did it happen ?

When India dropped “dry ration”, to the terrorists in the North, and asked the President to enter into a peace agreement and amend the Constitution of Sri Lanka to include the 13^th  Amendment. USA looked away , and President Jayawardhana had nobody to help him. USA had betrayed him. Therefore, he entered into a peace agreement with India and mutilated  the Constitution of Sri Lanka by including the 13^th  Amendment proposed by India.

Though there is no developing country in the world  that USA helped to develop, there is no difficulty to name many countries destroyed, their leaders assassinated  or  their development hampered by USA ?

Cuba  under Fulgencio Batista was  some what like what  Sri Lanka would be under  Ranil Wickramasinghe preparing to sign  the SOFA Agreement with USA. Batista leased the sothern part of Cuba to USA  which is now a USA army base called Guantanamo.

Under Fulgencio Batista,  Cuba  became the play ground for the rich Americans. There were  prostitution, casinos, drug dealers ,and so on. It was  that Cuba,  Fidel Castro made a free and an  independent country. Yet Americans was all out to destroy Cuba. There were planned military attacks,  having failed in that America imposed trade embargos against Cuba. Cuba faced all that but never allowed America to  enter into the country. That is why Cuba survived.

China is a rich and a great country today, because they did not allow America to interfere in to China.  USSR was divided by USA, because Russian  leaders began to have ultra diplomatic relations with USA. After that USA did not allow USSR to unite again. However Russia  did not allow USA  to interfere into Russia. Thanks to President Putin, Russia is a rich and a  developed country today because  Russia had severed connections with USA.

USA cannot be trusted. Sri Lanka should learn  to avoid dealings with USA as USA can bring about only ruin to Sri Lanka. The UNP Backbenchers should pay serious attention to persons like Mangala Samaraweera in the UNP, who is a party to  selling  Sri Lanka to America. He proved that  by even sponsoring a Resolution by America  against  his own Country-Sri Lanka, without even the permission of the President and the Parliament.

India too claims an economic growth, but is that growth seen on the ground and amoung the people. There is a never ending caste problem in India and  many are subject to utter misery  many without even proper sanitary facilities.

 Sri Lanka was progressing fast towards development when unfortunately the people voted Yahapalanaya  into power which has  brought Sri Lanka back to being a poor country.

The UNP  Backbenchers please see and understand how much you are correct about USA.  Though you   repeatedly say  at TV Debates that the Government of  USA is  friendly  towards Ranil Wickramasinghe, and you had  seen the  Ambassador for USA Alaina Teplitz played a very close role  alongside   UNP in October,2019  when the President had dismissed  the Prime Minister, do you think that USA ws playing a protective role to help the PM Ranil in the development process , or was only looking after America’s own benefits, without  development of  Sri Lanka not even in their thoughts ?

This is what the UNP Backbenchers should seriously contemplate, think of, and understand from what the UNP had been doing in the past. Today UNP  is like an old race horse. It has run out of breath. It can never run any more races. It should be tethered and perhaps kept as a museum piece, it cannot plough, it will only  ruin the ground.

It is now time for the UNP Backbenchers to start from scratch and  initiate action to form a new political party or reconstruct the UNP getting rid of the destructive elements in it such as Ranil Wickramasinghe, Sajith Premadasa, Karu Jayasuriya, Malik Samarawickrama, Mangala Samaraweera, Ravi Katunanayake, Lakshmn Kiriella, Daya Gamage, Rosy Senanayake, Thalatha Athukorala, Amaratunga and the whole of that lot, including the Muslim MPs. who do not toe the line in the formation of a new political party.

Sri Lanka needs Gotabhaya Rajapakse as President after Four and half years under Yahapalanaya, which is worse than the thirty years under Terrorism.

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 8^th 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 8^th 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 8^th 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 .

USA has an unholy government apparatus. They lack human qualities of  love, compassion and generosity. An American institution like the CIA, is a symbol of how unconcerned USA is with regard to  helping the poor countries to develop independently in their own way without USA  interfering into their internal  affairs , because of the American economic and military power. 

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.

USA is still continuing their disastrous manipulative  non-democratic political game to keep the developing countries under their filthy iron feet.  They want to do  the same they  did using their CIA to Guatamala, Iran, Chili, and Congo then,  and to Iraq, Libya, etc. in the recent past. 

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.

USA had helped Ranil to drive nails into the coffin of real democracy, and hoist a name plate democracy of which he trumpets to a fooled nation of a renewed  democracy, freedom of the press and the end of a white van culture.  Ranil Wickramasinghe even took over the  Judiciary on to his side with USA twisting his arms trying to set up  its own legal system in Sri Lanka along with a base camp for the American Armed Forces. Besides that the Yahapalanaya has imported Islamic terrorism, and made Sri Lanka a dumping ground of British Garbage.

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.

What is the difference between the Jihadist suicide Bomber Sara, and Ahimsa Wickramatunga ?

Pulasthini Rajasinghe or Sara was one of the Jihadists who blew herself in a Sri Lanka Church on Easter Sunday.  There is no valid reason for her to have exploded that bomb and herself along with it.  One does not know whether she wanted to be a suicide bomber  It may be she  was  forced into doing it. 

Like Ahimsa who may not even know why she should destroy the political future  of a fellow Sri Lankan without even knowing whether he was actually responsible for the death of her father.

What did Sara the Jehadist gain from that terrible act ? She was not even there to see the aftermath  of the bloody buchery  she caused to innocent  men women and children doing nothing else but  celebrating the rising of Jesus from the dead ?

Ahimsa Wickramathunga  is  also to a certain extent  like Sara the Jihadist who exploded the suicide bomb. But it may be Ahimsa  too has been  forced to do so, as no one knows what Ahimsa with such a meaningful name wants .

What does Ahimso   stand to gain from  filing a civil case against Gotabhaya Rajapakse  in a US District Court in California, which in my opinion is a bomb to shatter the reputation of an innocent man loved by a greater majority of the people in Sri Lanka ?  

As Sara the Jehadist will go down history as a murderer of  innocent men and women, Ahimsa Wickramaratne  will go down history as a woman  who tries to “murder” the hopes of lakhs of people of Sri Lanka  her motherland , or  if she denies it,  that of her father.

It could be called a suicide bomb even  though Ahimsa is not physically blowing  herself up, she  nevertheless will have to live as a person with a meaningless name thereafter (because Ahimsa means not harming any one) hated by a majority of the people in Sri Lanka, and her children too will continue here after to live with that  scar of a mother’s betrayal  of the Sinhala people or if she denies they are not her people , they were at east he people of her father.

Those interesed-  Ahimsa’s handlers and brain washers like those of the Towheed Jamat  are determined to vindicate the assassination of her father ten years ago when Ahimsa was only 16 years of age. They are certainly not doing it for any love for Ahimsa or her father Lasantha , but for the compensation money they have been promised by anti Sri Lanka group-the Tamil diaspora , or a political party in Sri Lanka to who are bent on  depriving  the hopes of the majority of the people of Sri Lanka to recover the peace and security and rapid development  of their country  before the 8^th January,2015, under  President Mahinda  Rajapakse and the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse.

Of course in the latter case Ahimsa the  terrorist-( to my mind any one who without a valid reason attempts to kill the good name and  reputation of an innocent man is also a terrorist) may  not blow herself,  but yet she blows off her own feminity and what she may have learnt of altruism, as a child hailing from a respected and an educated family.

One may of course argue that Ahimsa even if what she is preparing to do is equivalent to an action of a terrorist suicide bomber, she may  not cause a carnage  as it had been at the Church where the Jehadist exploded herself. 

But then Gotabhaya Rajapaksa is a man loved by a large majority of the people in Sri Lanka who are lamenting the calamity that is being  done by the present government of Ranil Wickramasinhe.

Under the Premiership of Ranil Wickramasinghe;  Sri Lanka has lost its peace and security and is being gradually handed over to USA , the West and the terrorist sympathising Tamil Diaspora. It is worst than the  carnage  on the Easter Sunday, as it is an attempt to massacre  the hopes of the  suffering people of a politically mismanaged Sri Lanka.

The other Tamil man who has filed another action against Gotabhaya Rajapakse-the  former terrorist Manojkumar Samathanan who claims to have been tortured and claims compensation from Gotabhaya Rajapakse is doing so for the sake of money he may gain if he wins the case. 

But Ahimsa Wickramathunga may have enough money and her interest may not be the financial gains she has been promised, but she is nevertheless  just attempting to  blow up a suicide bomb to get  some relief for her suffering as a daughter whose father had been murdered by some unknown persons whom she thinks or her handlers think was  carrying out the orders of  Gotabhaya Rajapakse.

The poor girl Sara who had joined the Jehadists did not know she was dying in vain, as she was brain washed by Towheed Jamat. And she was obeying her handler to blow herself in a Church.  She had no alternative once the bomb was attached to her and  commandeered to enter the Church, she had to die in blowing up the bomb, or if she abandoned she would have been killed by her handler who was certainly prowling behind her.

Ahimsa Wikramatunga has also been brain washed and she obeys her handler to assassinate the popularity of Gotabhaya Rajapakse ten years after the assassination of her father.  She was only 16 years old at the time and her handlers write as if it is her confession that she was only 16 years of age at the time. 

Ahimsa may now be about 26 years, and  forgotten all about that sad episode  or trying to forget it, but it is her  brainwashers –the handlers who are using the fact of Ahimsa being the daughter of Lasantha Wickramatunga to realise their dirty  object of  destroying Gotabhaya Rajapaakse’s political future and thus assassinate the hope of a nation, and in adition hope to get financial compensation.

Ahimsa you have still time to think, whether you will be obedient to your handlers and set off the bomb or just refuse to detonate the bomb and thus be the  heroine of the countless number of people in Sri Lanka looking for redemption from calamitous situation Sri Lanka has been brought  into by Ranil Wickramasinghe and his government, and allow  Gotabhaya Rajapakse to be the President of Sri Lanka to bring it back  to what it had been  before Ranil Wickramasinghe was sworn in as the Prime Minister on the 9^th January,2015.

USA,UK and UN Human Rights Council in Geneva have made Sri Lanka a safe place for degraded human beings-the terrorists to create mayhem inside Sri Lanka.

AQmerican Warship USS John C.Stennis stationed in Indian Ocen with Sri Lanka as its logistic supply hub without any control by the Government of Sri Lanka

USA and UK with their resolutions 30/1 and 40/1 presented to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva,  sponsored by their local pawn Mangala Samaraweera,  prepared Sri Lanka as a propitious ground for” their terrorists” to bomb Churches targeting  their religion and their tourists.

Hillary Clinton  the USA Secretary of State under President Obama said  that all terrorists cannot be put into the same basket, as only those  terrorists who attacked USA and European Countries were the true terrorists,  and the others like those in Sri Lanka were freedom fighters.

Hence the USA Ambassadors in Sri Lanka  from O’Blake onwards became close associates of the Sri Lanka terrorists and after their  elimination the USA, UK and others such as the EU,UN, etc. supported and acted along with those  sympathises who funded terrorism in Sri Lanka  the Tamils of the diaspora in USA and European countries, to communally divide Sri Lanka.

They urged the Sri Lanka Goveernment led by their lackies  Ranil Wickramasinghe and Mangala Samaraweera  to reconcile with the Tamils allowing them to set up a separate Tamil Province in the North and East, writing for that purpose a New Constitution.  That was the declared  demand of the USA and the West from the Government of Sri Lanka.

Today USA seems to be well establised in Sri Lanka having Sri Lanka  Government under Ranil Wickramasinghe  well under its  control making Sri Lanka  an American puppet state.

Sri Lanka, under Ranil Wickramasinghe  has become a logistic supply hub for a US Warship US Air Craft carrier USS John.C.Stennis stationed in the Indian ocean with Sri Lanka receiving supplies to be transferred unchecked by Sri Lanka custom to  the warship which is a PLA Presence in the Indian Ocean to counter the influence of China in Sri Lanka.

(see below for details of this warship and its potential  danger to Sri Lanka one could imagine)

Sri Lanka has submitted to an American demand to allow the American Army to transport any material of any size and weight through the Bandaranaike International Airport and allow temporary storage of such material which  are interdicted  by the US Military for a Sri Lanka Custom check.

With these developments and an ISIS terrorists attack never imagined could happen in Sri Lanka, it should be investigated  whether,   the presence of a US Warship stationed in  close vicinity and material being transferred to and from  the warship through BIA in Colombo, has any connected to the terrorist strike on the Easter Sunday.

Was it a coincidence or is there an unexplained and unseen connection to the US Presence in the Indian Ocean and an International terrorists attack in Sri Lanka ?

It should also be noted that the US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Alaina Teplitz had been very active since the terrorist attack and  overzealously  initiated actions that Sri Lanka does not want,  such  as the presence of FBI and their assistance in  the  investigations into the terrorist attacks by the Security Forces of Sri Lanka.

This is strange as no FBI personnel had been present in the Island through out the the 30 years of terrorism in Sri Lanka. Why now ? Why is USA so intent in having their FBI investigators present in the country now ? Has Amerika any thing to hide, and the FBI is working to cover up any thing that would point the finger in the direction of state terrorism coming from America ? The FBI did not come to France to investigate terrorist attacks in France. Why in Sri Lanka ?

All these makes one wonder whether the terrorist attack on the Easter Sunday was indeed  ISIS initiated or was there other unseen hands behind those attacks ?

If it was the ISIS what did the attackers expect from this suicide bombs other than a bloody carnage or a  mere passport to heaven to sit by the side of their God as a divine reward for massacre of unbelievers ? 

But on the other hand USA and the West have much to gain by such attacks that would destabilise Sri Lanka.  A politically strategic island, with a Chinese influence which America would wrench away from Chinese influence to make the Island a puppet state taking orders from the American  Embassy and the American political  hierarchy.

The suicide bombers according to reports are normal educated people, without a troubled psychological past, or having any serious political  involvements or financial difficulties. It is best to investigate who had been their friends, relatives, teachers and religious contacts. Because unless they were suffering from collective psychological problems, they had been brainwashed by  clever manipulators of the minds of their followers.

With the change of  President Mahinda Rajapakse’s  government in January, 2015, Sri Lanka became opened to all types of  undesirable elements to hold high office ,  such as a citizen of Singapore to become the Governor of the  Central Bank of Sri Lanka who under the protection of the country’s Prime Minister  wiped out the finances of the country and escaped safely without having to answer anyone for the crime he committed. But those highly placed political leader and his Ministers  who aided and abetted him in the crime have not been arrested or even taken to the CID for questioning..

The Yahapalanaya and the present UNP Government from the beginning on the 9^th January,2019 did nothing but ruined the country, until it became the centre of International terrorism and soon  would perhaps  be a victim of crossfire between  heavy fighting between America and China with America setting up an army base in the Indian Ocean with a warship ready to carry out even a nuclear war stationed not far away from Sri Lanka with Sri Lanka acting as its logistic supply hub.

All these happened to a Sri Lanka which suffered under local terrorism for 30years and was rescued  just in time by a visionary leader Mahinda Rajapakse  who gave political leadersip to eliminate terrorism under a military operation organised  by the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse carried out with a united Armed Forces with the Army lead by  its Commander Sarath Fonseka, Navy lead by its Commander  Wasantha Karannagoda,   Air Force lead by its Commander  Roshan Gunatilleke and Civil Defence Forces led by Sarath Weerasekara.  They all contributed for the victory over terrorism.

Mahinda Rajapakse won the war against terrorism and developed the country  remarkably because he faught a war against terrorism, and was determined to develop the country and unite the Communities which he started by stating that, “…  hereafter there are no minorities but the good and the bad citizens”. He gave leadersip to a, government to develop and unite the country and he had no vengeance to take against any one, he raised no voice of anger or hatred even to his enemies.

The Yahapaalnaya was from the beginning a government to make the people forget the previous regime of Mahinda Rajapakse. It was a government led by Maithreepala Sirisena to take revenge from the previous President Mahinda Rajapakse. In his rage against Rajapakse he  was blind to the mismanagement of the country by Ranil Wickramasinghe and his UNP click.  The President Sirisena did not see the Bank robbery, he did not see Mangala Samaraweera running his own government slavishly abiding to the wishes of the USA and the west, and even sponsoring a resolution against Sri Lanka Armed Forces.

Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister was gradually leaving behind  the President and taking over for himself the powers of the President to decide on matters relating to the country. He agreed to sell even the Hambantota Harbour to the Chinese and sign a Trade  agreement of 1000 pages with Singapore without even consulting the Parliament. 

The President Sirisena was slowly and surely loosing his authority. The development, peace and security of the country suffered while the Yahapalana Government was getting involved in taking revenge from the former   President Mahinda Rajapakse his Ministers and every one that supported him.

The country was being mismanaged , Communities were disunited one looking at the other with suspicion, there was a constant demand  for a reconciliation with the Tamils. Every thing was being done with the aim of giving more political power to the Tamils even by proposing to write a new Constitution giving more political; power to the Provinces which was to be exclusively forTamils. The Tamil politicians were beginning to wield more power and one of them Sumandiran even  dictating terms to the Prime Minister.

It was then that the President Sirisena realised that he was being left behind and the Government of Ranil Wickramasinghe is becoming all powerful, to the detriment of the country,  the welfare of the people and the security of the country was being neglected. President Sirisena then tried to take over things into his own hand.

The coalition that formed the Yahapalanaya government collapsed. And with that there was  for him an opportunity to appoint a new government with his former rival Mahinda Rajapakse as Prime Minister. He also moved to dissolve the Parliament., which was contested by the disempowered Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe  and his supporters.

It was then that the President Sirisena realised that it was too late and that all institutions including the judiciary had been taken into the Prime Minter’s confidence.   The judiciary which he thought was independent failed to render  independent and fair justice when the President asked for judicial interpretation of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court gave a ruling interpreting the Constitution in favour of the Prime Minister against the dissolution of Parliament stating that  the President has no right to dissolve the Parliament before four and a half years in terms of the Article 70 of the constitution ,when there was the Article 33 of the Constitution which definitely gave the President the right to dissolve the Parliament when there was a political crisis that needed the dissolution of the Parliament as a solution.

Thereafter there was a conflict between the President and the Prime Miniter with the Ministers of Ranil Wickramasinghe’s Cabinet like Mangala Saaraweera, Rajitha Senarathne, Malik Samarawickrama  acting on their own creating a disunited government. There was no ruling authority. The Inspector General of Police and the Minister of Defence were not taking their responsibilities seriously. Sri Lanka is without a ruler today.  This prepared the ground for whoever was planning to destabilise and breakup the county to create  utter political chaos.

This situation would have been avoided if the Supreme Court had interpreted the Constitution correctly  by confirming the authority of the President to dissolve the Parliament under article 33 of the Constitution. Or if the Prime Minister had respected democracy of which he speaks often and resigned from his Office

There is also doubts about President Sirisena’s intentions of forming a united front along with  the joint opposition and the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna,  against the UNF of the UNP and its partners. If President and the SLFP wanted such a unity one cannot understand why the President allowed Dayasiri Jayasekara the General Secretary to demanding the acceptance of  20 condition by the Joint Opposition  as a prerequisite for unity and running away from Parliament  without voting against the UNP Budget, along with the Parliamentarians of the Joint Opposition..

Apparently President Sirisena’s silence on the issue makes his intention to unite with the joint Opposition doubtful. This also could be sited as a reason for foreign interventions in Sri Lanka and the paving of the way for international terrorists to create mayhem in a country which had been peaceful for nearly ten years.  If Dayasiri Jayasekara continues to bargain for unity with the Joint Opposition by insisting on its accepting  his conditions its better not join with the SLFP for the next Presidential and General elections, and that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna contests the elections  alone as a Political force without joining with the SLFP.

Such a situation is sad as it would weaken the Presidents position today as he has only Dayasiri Jayasekara and SLFP to stand with when there is already a serious political crisis in Sri Lanka.

If Dayasiri Jayasekara is insistant for a conditional unity , and if the President Sirisena is genuinely interested in settling the present unsettled political situation in Sri Lanka, the President should change the General Secretary of the SLFP and settle for an unconditional Unity with the SLPP.

The following  is about the US warship USS John C.Stennis an American Military Presence in the Indian Ocean using Bandaranayake International Airport as a logistic supply hub.  The US Warship is  by itself a complete American Military Camp ready for any massive war with its foreign enemies.  It is another great danger into which Ranil Wickramasinghe has  plunged Sri Lanka. Fear is USA being  a country not sympathetic towards developing countries it would not hesitate even to  destroy our country without a second though if its in the interest of America. We have Libya, Iraq as  examples of its vicious intentions and itsinhuman State terrorism.

The mission of John C. Stennis and her air wing (CVW-9) is to conduct sustained combat air operations while forward-deployed. The embarked air wing consists of eight to nine squadrons. Attached aircraft are Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet, EA-18G Growler, MH-60R, MH-60S, and E-2C Hawkeye.

The air wing can engage enemy aircraft, submarines, and land targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship. John C. Stennis's aircraft are used to conduct strikes, support land battles, protect the battle group or other friendly shipping, and implement a sea or air blockade. The air wing provides a visible presence to demonstrate American power and resolve in a crisis. The ship normally operates as the centerpiece of a carrier battle group commanded by a flag officer embarked upon John C. Stennis and consisting of four to six other ships.

John C. Stennis's two nuclear reactors give her virtually unlimited range and endurance and a top speed in excess of 30 knots (56 km/h, 34.5 mph). The ship's four catapults and four arresting gear engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and simultaneously. The ship carries approximately 3 million US gallons (11,000 m3) of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment. John C. Stennis also has extensive repair capabilities, including a fully equipped Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department, a micro-miniature electronics repair shop, and numerous ship repair shops.

For defense, in addition to her air wing and accompanying vessels, John C. Stennis has NATO RIM-7 Sea Sparrow and Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) surface-to-air missile systems, the Phalanx Close-in Weapons System for cruise missile defense, and the AN/SLQ-32 Electronic Warfare System.

Open letter to Mr. Pujitha S.B.Jayasundara, Inspector General of Police of Sri Lanka.

By Charles.S.Perera

Mr.Pujitha S.B.Jayasundara,

Inspector General of Police,

Sri Lanka

Dear Sir,

I am presently living abroad but I am a man from a small village in Sri Lanka. Sir it is we the villagers who feel more for our country to the extent to  even shed tears in secret when we are unable to put right the wrongs that are being done to our country.

I have read you are also from  a village Mahamukalaanayaaya in Bogamuwa. That means you are a real son of the soil and must have seen youths from your village also joining the Armed Forces to fight the ruthless terrorism that we had thought for a long time was an invincible force. Many of those  Sinhala Buddhist village youth whowent to defend our country, came back in coffins, while some had gone missing, and others have escaped after sacrificing  their limbs  in the terrorist war. It was in their heroism that our country was saved and we live tody in peace and security.

But we pay only lip service to these war heroes who  are our own children. This is while those who should take responsibility for deaths, disappearances and mutilation are today demanding that our war heroes be taken before International Criminal Courts.  This had been going on ever since the elimination of terrorists and even the International Community treats our war heroes as their war criminals and the terrorists as their heroes.  This has to end without  our Government treat the terrorists and who aided abetted  them  with soft gloves, while  our war heroes are being sacrificed for a seemingly unachievable reconciliation with the Tamils- specially the TNA Tamils politicians.

The  TNA which keeps calling to take revenge from the Sri Lanka Armed Forces for the elimination of the terrorists, disappearances, violation of human rights, was a part of the terrorist equip terrorising the people  along side Prabhakaran.   In English Law it is said that you cannot go to court with blood on your hands. Therefore  neither the TNA no the Tamils of the diaspora who financed the  terrorism purchasing arms and equipment for them  terrorists cannot now  accuse the armed forces for war crimes when they were a part of the terrorists aiding  and abetting the terrorists.

In 2001 the LTTE during the heights of its ruthless terror against the people, wanted a political arm  to defend and be their spokes persons in the Parliament and outside the terrorists controlled areas.  Terrorist leader Prabhakaran selected the present set of TNA Parliamentarians. They set up an alliance along with Tamil Political parties such as  ACTC (All Ceylon Tamil Congress), the EPRLF (Eelam People’s Revolutionary Liberation Front), TELO (Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization), TULF (Tamil United Liberation Front).

Thereafter  TNA under Sampanthan of ITAK declared that the  LTTE is the sole representative of the Tamil people, Ananda Sangaree of TULF who disagreed  left the Alliance and TNA became the political arm of the terrorists.

The activities of TNA since then had been organised by the terrorist leader and for all intents and purposes TNA was a part of the LTTE terrorist set up.  Please see the article by Ms.Shenali Waduge in the Lankaweb entitled: Haul TNA to Court for links with LTTE terrorists & Separatist Demands- http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2019/03/25/haul-tna-to-court-for-links-with-ltte-terrorists-separatist-demands/

 -for details of the involvement of TNA with  terrorism since 2001 to date even after the elimination of terrorism.

After elimination of terrorism in May,2009,  the then Government of ¨President Mahinda Rajapakse should have disbanded the TNA but for whatever reason  it had not been done and we are today suffering the consequence of that failure.

Dear Sir, since 2001 TNA which  had been involved with the terrorists and terrorism never raised a voice against  the savagery of the terrorists and their massacres of innocent villagers, passengers of busses and trains and mass killings by placing claymore bombs in markets and public places, and assassination of many political figures and officers of the Armed Forces and the Police. 

In their silence through out the period of terrorism the TNA and its members were aiding and abetting terrorists in those massacres, assassinations, without directly participating in  the bloody savagery of the terrorists.

Even today the TNA Parliamentarians continue in terrorising the  newly settled Sinhala people in the villages calling for their identity cads and property Deeds. Recently  a group of Tamils  supported by some TNA politicians occupied the Mulathiu Nayaru Khandha Ancient Buddhist temple on the Pongal Day , threatened the resident monk Venerable Kolamba  Medalankara Kiththi Nayaka thero, and even dug a foundation for a Kovil in the temple premises.

Though no killing had been done this too amounts to a terrorist activity, to frighten  persons and make them leave the area in fear  for life.

These TNA politicians continue to criticise and condemn Sri Lanka in international forums and contact foreign countries  complaining about imagined discriminations against the Tamils by the Government calling for their assistance to  win  separate rights and priviledes to the Tamil people and to cooperate  with them for the setting up of a separate Tamil only Province in the North and East. Their statements against the Government are in breach of the Constitution and amounts to criminal defamation

Despite these activities which are  in contravention of the Constitution, the law is not being applied against the TNA Parliamentarians. They are not even been called to the Police Stations and warned against making such statements.

Most often when questioned as to why the TNA Parliamentarians are not taken to custody when they make seditious and libellous statements, authorities cite  an on going reconciliation, and state that the law is kept silent not to hamper  the reconciliation process.

The reconciliation is not a one sided activity. If TNA wants the other communities of Sri Lanka to reconcile with the Tamil Community they should reciprocate these acts of reconciliation by he Government. But so far they   continue to make more demands without making any advance towards reconciliation with the Sinhala.

The Tamil people are kept silent by threat, and made to follow the TNA through fear of them and fear of retaliation. If the Law is applied to the TNA politicians and make them understand that they are not outside the law of the country, the ordinary Tamil people will trust in  law and order and act freely without blindly following the TNA MPs  through fear and for favour.

One Mr.Jayantha Liyanage of  Sinhala Mahasabha once filed an FR action against the TNA, but the courts advised that as there was a move for reconciliation with Tamils   it is good that the legal action is not taken against them for the moment.

But this is not correct any more as the law should be applied when it is broken or in the process of being broken. What is the use of a police force Sir, if you are absent in the North and allow the TNA politicians go free despite their criminal  activities that hamper peace security and freedom of the people.

TNA Parliamentarians Shritharan’s  recent statement that Gotabhaya Rajapakse had killed over 140,000 Tamils  which is false and therefore a statement of criminal defamation.  It is not  acceptable that he is allowed to go free after making such seditious statements. He should be called to the Police Station and warned not to make such false accusations which makes him liable for criminal prosecution.

There is no reconciliation in  the police allowing these TNA Parliamentarians to break the law, and still go free.  The Police should call Shritharan to the police station  to warn  him about making such statements of criminal defamation, and warn him against making such statements in future.

I do not intend to write more as you may already be aware of these unlawful activities and pronouncements of the TNA Parliamentarians. They are citizens of Sri Lanka and the laws of the country should be applied to them as well, no matter whether there is an ongoing reconciliation process.

As a member of the Public I implore you not to be a onlooker of breach of law and order by the TNA Parliamentarians,  and request you to intervene to make them understand that they  too should respect the law.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles.S.Perera
