A Time Of Reckoning For All Sri Lankans That Their Nation Is Blessed With Great Leadership

May 2nd 2009
This is a time of reckoning for all Sri Lankans that they are a nation blessed with great leadership. The Tamil Diaspora efforts which lasted over three decades in their worthless and futile attempt to set up a 'Never Never Eelam Nation' in a land which belongs to all Sri Lankans has failed miserably mostly due to the efforts of its President and his incredible team of Administrators for which all Sri Lankans need to be thankful.

The Sinhalese people, predominantly the ruling majority who in all graciousness have shared the land for generations with all the minority citizens whose rights have never been compromised despite all the lies and innuendo created by the enemies of the State and have been villified over time imemorial yet have held sway and overcome all odds even going back to the However, the greatest challenge of the Sinhala Nation thus far has been preserving the Nation from her terrorist enemies who need to be isolated and ostracised while distancing them from the decent peace loving true Tamil people who are as much a part of Sri lanka as the rest of her citizens!

The gracious and magnanimous President of the Nation to whom all credit is due for his successful efforts to free the Nation from terrorism and its affiliated consorts needs to be recognized as a pioneer in this area and applauded for the character he has shown both in a patriotic sense as well as in a pragmatic sense behest with national respect and confidence in him as a result of which despite the vast numbers of displaced and dispossessed civilians subjected to terrorist attrocities Sri Lankans have to a greater proportion been granted hope towards the future and the posterity of their future generations someting which all LTTE supportives should bear in mind before they attempt to mislead and paint false portrayals globally albeit unsuccesfully, that the Sri Lankan Administration is a criminal and an irresponsible one which is absolutely unacceptable and the furthest from the truth despite all the latest efforts by foreign powers to undermine it calling to mind a few worthless cacophonists some in a diplomatic capacity from the USA, the UK, The EU, Sweden, Norway and of course the ludicrous mouthpeices of Tamil Nadu who seem to forget India's greatest loss at the hands of the LTTE !all of whom contribute to the shambles and double standards the world sees them indulge in almost apathetically by their rhetoric in support of moribund terrorists whose sole objective is and has been to destroy Sovereign Sri Lanka!

The first step taken by the Administration as proof of its benevolence towards all Sri Lankans particularly the Tamil minority is to rehabilitate at the earliest and most feasible time, vast multitudes of civilians who fled the LTTE-held areas, where the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksha has also reminded the world that the Tamil diaspora should be held accountable that the rebels were killing innocent people with arms, ammunition and military equipment purchased from vast sums of money collected by them for the Tamil Tiger's terrorist chest and objectives and something which lasted for decades and mercifully over.

The President addressing a May Day Rally has unequivocally asserted that "What is going on in the North is a struggle to consolidate the right to life of the working class and innocent people of this country where it is the responsibility of the Government to re-settle the civilians fleeing the LTTE areas as soon as possible and to ensure their right to an unhindered life and that he would

take responsibility to fulfil the basic needs of not only those who have crossed over but also those who are yet to cross over to Government-controlled areas."

He has continued that "No foreign powers could dictate to Sri Lanka or impose conditions on how to develop her economy," which is a rank testimony to the mettle of his leadership and has given hope for many hopeless impoverished people who should thank him for his incredible insight into the needs of the Nation in the proper perspective and not one distorted by its enemies or those who continue to undermine his capabilities.

Emphasizing how the LTTE terrorists were shooting innocent Tamil civilians even as a last ditch desperate attempt to bring disrepute to the Sri Lankan Administration by blaming it on the Armed Forces he has also drawn attention to the fact that it was done using weapons purchased from the money raised by the Tamil diaspora and diverting aid received from foreign powers which were often misappropriated.

He has also cited these very individuals who call themselves Diaspora as hypocrites who protest in front of Sri Lankan embassies and behave unlawfully( at the time of writing this, news has just been broadcast that in Toronto, Canada, such a demonstration has been disrupted by the Canadian Authorities with many arrests also made ~ Bravo Canada!) and the bounden need for the international community to understand the realities of what these individuals signify and that they need to be condemned as worthless enemies of the Nation of Sri Lanka and not given any viable attention.

Emphasis needs to be made with all kudos to the the Administration that The Security Forces have now virtually defeated in its entirety the deadly terrorism generated by the LTTE which was a scourge to the Nation of Sri Lanka for close to four decade and that it has renewed faiths and support by the Nation for the direction of its leadership which stands unassailable in Sri Lanka as a bastion of strength for the Sri Lankan people who have responded in a show of allegiance by the Western Provincial Council (WPC) election results where the UPFA has won nearly 70 per cent of the seats falling short of a two thirds majority narrowly due to the lack of a single council win which speaks volumes for the respect the Nation has for its Leader and his Administration!

The Nation now needs to respond to the President's call for all Sri Lankans to unite and develop the country in the same manner as was done to overcome the tsunami disaster which devastated the coastal areas of the nation but has recovered incredibly and appreciably today.

In his words once again showing his magnanimity and graciousness even to his enemies he has said "Let us work and set an example to the world. Let us work to become a dignified Nation and a developed country within two-three years. I appeal to the Sri Lankan diaspora to send us foreign exchange and invest in the country. My intention is to ensure the livelihood of the people who crossed over before giving political solutions. Let us give them food, shelter, water, electricity, schools, hospitals and ensure dividends of development to them," and is a glowing tribute to the nature of the President who has guided his Nation towards the hope and expectations worthy of a true patriot and a wonderful son of Lanka!
