Racial Riots: People of Sri Lanka, tell the World the Facts
Posted on March 9th, 2018
Shenali D Waduge
In Sri Lanka, there is the majority Sinhala Buddhists and there are the minorities that comprise Tamils, Muslims, Christians & Catholics. The people live peacefully but there are many others who do not want them to live peacefully. It is always important to dissect who are the benefactors of racial tensions and it is generally not the party that is being accused. No one brings upon himself global condemnation unless there is a bigger plan. In putting a pattern to the violence, the real mischief makers can be derived.
Let us first run through the events.
22 February Teldeniya – 4 drunk men travelling in a three wheeler attacked a truck driver for not allowing them to overtake his vehicle. The truck driver H.G. Kumarasinghe, a 41-year-old father of two (one child disabled) succumbed to his injuries and died. What right do 4 drunks have to hit a person to the point of death just for not allowing them to overtake him?
It so happened that the 4 drunk men were Muslims and it so happened that the truck driver was a Sinhalese Buddhist. In all probability this was an isolated incident and the incident had nothing to do with racism – a few drunkards were angry that another vehicle was not allowing them to overtake.
More importantly note the dates. The attack took place on 22 February 2018 and Kumarasinghe had been in the hospital intensive care for 10 days. He eventually succumbed to his injuries on 3rd March 2018. Attacks started only on 4th March 2018 with curfew being put in the night in Digana area of Kandy district.
This is what Kumarasinghe’s wife had to say There is no point in fighting and claiming more precious lives of the people and making more widows like me.”
It is very important for people to understand the incident timelines.
Now came an opportunity for parties looking for ways to aggravate an incident to start mayhem. Anger by people is instigated when authorities do not take action against the initial action but allow reaction & go after the reactions & reactors only. Similarly, ignoring racist sentiments of one party/individuals and highlighting statements by others and claiming only those to be racist invariably contributes to tensions. This was the case in all previous incidents of racial tensions. Actions are ignored & Reaction & Reactors are punished causing further chaos. In this case it warranted action against the 4 drunkards without waiting for a man to be killed 10 days later and riots that ensued by parties that were waiting for an isolated incident to turn it into a racial riot.
The easiest way of inciting people’s emotions was by triggering racial hatred and transferring isolated incidents into major themed issues which benefits all but the actual victims. As people can see the ultimate victims were Sinhalese and Muslims living in the area – the trouble makers who are generally not of the area and those that fund them have the last laugh while others like media and parties that need issues to live & earn by are elated because these are opportunities for them to show their importance! Are you getting the bigger picture now?
Media stands guilty of fanning these tensions with their media headlines and half-truth & exaggerated stories. Here are a few examples,
- Times of India – Sri Lanka blocks social media networks to stop sectarian violence”
- Indian Express – In Sri Lanka’s anti-Muslim violence, an echo of post-war Sinhala triumphalism”
- Sri Lanka Guardian – Anti-Muslim violence rears its ugly head again in Sri Lanka”
- BBC – Sri Lanka struggles to halt days of Buddhist riots”
- Al Jazeera – Muslims say they are being systematically targeted by the Sinhalese Buddhist majority.”
- ABC Australia – Sri Lanka blocks social media as Buddhist mobs attack mosques”
See the extent of exaggerations, falsehoods and lies the media are spreading – it is not social media but these media entities that need to be blocked!
Who are preaching to Sri Lanka on racial violence it is none other than the countries that create racial violence. US where blacks are still discriminated, US where they fund regime change and import Islamic extremists to create mayhem to justify their troop presence, US which has been the only country to drop the atomic bomb twice and killed thousands of people. UK where half of all mosques have been attacked since 9/11, UK where Muslims live in fear of Islamaphobia attacks. Germany witnesses 10 attacks a day on migrants, less said about the UN puppet envoys and their solutions the better. India, that secretly trained Tamil militants in India, that uses its intelligence to influence various parties & individuals in Sri Lanka and where daily some sort of racial riot is taking place – these are the parties preaching to Sri Lanka on ethnic violence and racism!
The speech by MP Wimal Weerawansa in Parliament clearly brings this out. He declared that one Mohamed Irfan Mohamed in his face book post had said that the police had asked Muslims to stay inside, then electricity was switched off in the area and an unknown group came and attacked. This time a Muslim boy died not killed because he had entered a shop that had been attacked and the smoke caused difficulty in breathing. His name was Samsudeen Abdul Basith.
This is what Basith’s brother had to say I am requesting all groups not to fight anymore because no good will come out of it. We all are sons and daughters of the same mother and father. We all have the same red blood. We are separated only by religions and races. It is not fair to attack innocent people like us. We are living in Pallekele in peace and harmony. Don’t destroy the unity in our area to fulfill any personal agendas,”
If Kumarasinghe’s wife and Basith’s brother the real victims are saying that violence is not the answer why should others feel need for violence than them? This clearly points to insidious agendas erupting using these isolated incidents.
MP Weerawansa also went on to say that Opposition MP Dilum Amunugama had spoken to the police & informed them to take action as he felt some trouble was brewing. So warnings were given well ahead of time for the police to take action. Did they do so? If they didn’t, were they told not to do so, if so by whom? Police take orders only from their superiors and their superiors take orders only from the Government in power. Who will investigate this?
Let us go back at some of the riots in the past.
1958 riots (lasted 5 days from 22 May to 27 May)
Important to note some key events that led to the riots: British Navy closure of Trincomalee base left Indian laborers without jobs and GOSL agreed to resettle them in Polonnaruwa which the people opposed. Polonnaruwa train station attacked on 22nd & 24th May. On May 26, PM Bandaranaike claimed riots were due to the death of Nuwara Eliya Mayor D A Seneviratne which gave reason to start fresh riots and highlights the irresponsible remarks politicians make. The 1958 riots is one of Sinhalese attacking Tamils, Tamils too attacking Sinhalese. Just as Tamils were killed, Sinhalese were also killed. The victims were the people who ended up killed, those that were injured and those whose properties were destroyed even Tamil kovils and Buddhist temples were attacked. In short there was no one completely innocent party. It was on 27 May 1958 that emergency was declared and ITAK was banned & JVP were banned in 1972. It was these same two groups that became key instigators of future bloodsheds.
That riots are planned & manufactured can be seen from the absence of riots from 1958 to 1977. If there was natural affinity between ethnic groups they should be eternally fighting each other – which was never the case especially zero such incident before 1505. An element of state involvement together with other hidden groups is obvious.
1977 August riots is one such case of state terrorism together with political opportunism. A case of a Tamil getting accidentally electrocuted in Jaffna led to the JRJ Govt refusing to conduct an impartial inquiry and cunning Tamil politicians making political mileage out of it. There was nothing anti-Tamil or pro-Sinhalese about this incident. Further proof of state involvement comes in the fact that there was no mass participation. State involvement was confirmed recently when the UNP Leader and PM admitted & apologized for the UNP’s role in burning of the Jaffna library in 1981 where claims of promoting police officers responsible further strengthening the argument of UNP role in fanning ethnic tensions. Months later the constitution was changed and Executive Presidency was created and the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) came into being. Sri Lanka’s constitution has been amended 19 times. 17 times it has been amended by UNP, the political party that introduced the 1978 constitution!
July 1983 again contrary to misconception this riot too had nothing to do with the general masses in particular the prime accuser the Sinhala Buddhists. In fact it was they who housed Tamil friends and families. Again the UNP Government was in power, the men that came seeking Tamil homes had electoral lists and looted the premises after which the homes were doused. Many of the elite Tamil areas were given police protection and saved from attack. It had all the hallmarks of state involvement.
It was under the same UNP government that terrorism emerged and falsely spread the notion of ethnic-racial conflict when LTTE terrorism victimized all communities including Tamils.
Just ahead of the 2015 Presidential elections took place the Durga Town/Aluthgama riots. Once again isolated incidents were either manufactured or vested groups were lying in wait to create a tension. The incident killed several birds – it lost Muslim vote base for the former President, it added to the case that Sinhala Buddhists were the only violent ethnic community in Sri Lanka and it gave a reason for the entire world and UN to declare Sri Lanka a failed state requiring foreign intervention.
Gintota riots of 2017. Here too an isolated incident of a vehicle injuring a mother and a child led to unnecessary tension. The vehicle was ridden by a Sinhalese and the injured was a mother and child. At no point of time did the vehicle purposely knock the mother or child. In fact the driver paid Rs.25,000 and settled the matter at the police. However, after the riots ensued locals accused a former UNP Pradeshiya Sabha member Mohamed Kiyaz as leading the mob attack. Another example of UNP involvement in racial riots. Who are these mobs that are attacking? Are they associated to any political party or politician, do they even have links to foreign intelligence and on their payroll, are police also on other payroll – these are the answers we need to know.
There is a major difference in State supported conflict and actual racial riots. This is what people need to understand. Similarly, racism is one thing, racist practices are quite another. Everybody will have some racist attributes depending on their personal experiences but that does not necessarily construe racial discrimination leave alone violence against others. In short Sinhalese cannot be blamed for 1977 or 1983 but the then State Government should be held accountable. The world projection is that Christians hate Muslims and vice versa but it does not necessarily mean all Christians hate or must hate Muslims and vice versa. Similarly, the perception on Jews & Muslims is the same, blacks & whites too.
Let’s put things in political perspective. Like it or not it is slowly emerging that this present coalition government came into being with a lot of foreign help & funding to advance foreign agendas. The people having got deceived once reversed their wrong by giving the coalition government a clear message through the local government elections. The social media that greatly helped the Opposition victory was also highlighting Muslim sentiments that appealed to fellow Muslims to be calm and showcased Government involvement, it was no surprise that with the cat out of the bag the Government quickly decided on damage control by freezing all social media and slowing internet. It showed a desperate government and the desperate measures a desperate government that had lost the publics approval would take.
An isolated incident was enough and came at a time when the PM was facing image catastrophe’s – he was publicly being called a rogue decimating his Mr. Clean image built over the years, he was under public scrutiny for not arresting his close friend Mahendran, he was facing a No Confidence Motion, the election results clearly convened that the people were not agreeable to constitutional changes, the witch hunt against the armed forces, the plans to devolve and divide Sri Lanka and numerous other detrimental decisions the Government was taking in respect to selling national assets and giving stakes to India including allowing Indians to live & work in Sri Lanka.
Therefore, it is important for people to ask themselves – who are the benefactors of ethnic tensions. It is not the ordinary Sinhalese or Muslims who are really the victims. The benefactors are generally those who instigate the worsen the situation.
It is also important for people to be thankful that the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) is in place. If the PTA had been repealed as the international community and UN are insisting by violating UN Charter & interfering in Sri Lanka’s domestic affairs, the Government would not have been able to declare emergency or curfew and take measures to quell the situation.
If powers had been devolved and tensions emerged the Centre would have been helpless and the devolved politically motivated leaders would have worsened the situation. If ethnic tensions had taken place in North against Sinhala minority what would have been their fate? If ethnic tensions had taken place in East against Muslim minority by Tamils what would have been their fate?
These answers are important and should completely demolish the demands that the foreign interfering governments are making to change the constitution, devolve powers, repeal Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) and other detrimental demands that if implemented would certainly take Sri Lanka into a destabilized state. Is it en route to this that the US forced Sri Lanka to sign deals with Peace Corps to place US military on the ground or agreements with India would also ensure India becomes the decision makers in Sri Lanka? Is this what the people of Sri Lanka want and is this what the treacherous politicians are helping using our vote. Why is the Opposition not highlighting these clearly to the people? Our people are intelligent enough to understand the ground realities. It is why both Sinhalese & Muslims used social media to highlight the truth while vested parties were trying to spur hatred and since social media provided people to counter argue which print media and electronic media does not, the State quickly went and removed people’s rights to express themselves. This is a major faux pas on the part of a government losing public approval and confidence.
People must accept facts. To appease the situation the solution is not to take sides but to table the facts and ensure that the people honor these facts. Every time the spokespersons have turned incidents into minority-majority or ethno-religious and ignoring the initial action accused the reactors further aggravating the chaos. If facts are presented before the nation & properly explained to the world, media & others there would be no occasion for them to manipulate or misinterpret the situation. This is what everyone needs to understand.
The other major coincidence is that these ‘tensions’ are emerging just before a key Geneva session wherein the UNHRC have no evidence but are arm-twisting the Government to commit hara kiri and make drastic decisions just to remain in power at the cost of the entire Nation & its People.

We must expect outsiders to exploit this incident,must not fall for it and fight among ourselves.Digana is a peaceful place and I have friends living there, friends who have moved out of the congested Kandy town.I was there last Saturday to say good bye to my friends and there were no sign of any trouble.I and my friends here in London are still eating the Rotties we bought from the wayside eatery. This is very sad for our country and hope the authorities will come hard on the trouble makers. Some should not make political mileage out of this as the people are not in the mood to accept it.My family has trouble running our business with the strict curfew, hoping everything come back to normal.

What I can see is suddenly there is a coordinated attack on those who exposed of all recent injustice against Sinhala people by Muslims. All of a sudden Rishard Bathudin has become a good person. Suddenly, Ranil WIckremasinghe has become a good person. Suddenly those who report Wilpattu forest rape, those who report underground Jihadist and Wahabism have become the instigators of racial riots. Just because Ganansara went there, whole world is now blaming BBS.
These attacks on exposure of truth is so well coordinated and in the future no one would report these incidents. Some groups calling themselves saviours of the nation will have the opportunity to win Muslim votes on the basis of allowing completely out of proportionate Muslim expansionism.

These are the results of
*uncontrollable breeding by the mussies (a menace locally, nationally, internationally)
*mussie traitor deshapaluwan like @urdeen, xxxxhim, assrough, sad ali (not enough children to be sad?) etc. etc.
over promoting mussies
*traitor Sinhalese deshapaluwan turning a blind eye to mussie destruction of Buddhism, Sinhalese race and Sri
Lanka in order to secure their support
So who do we blame now? We can blame each other, but there is no solution since the dirty mussies can’t live
with anybody else. They breed, breed and breed and try to wrestle control. Dirty, disgusting trick worked to steal
old Buddhist iran, afganisthan, pakesthan, bangladesh, maldives, malaysia, indonesia within a few hundred years
of their arrivals in those countries with baby machine wives (most of the times locally sourced decreasing even
more native population). It worked in the olden times since people didn’t realise until the menace came to your
doorstep. Today tv, internet, phone age? No chance. Are the crafty mussies with their fastest breeding religion
(aka the religion of utter peace) going to admit/learn and backdown? No chance of that. When they are believing
in a mythical god what chance of anything real?
Unfortunately there is no solution. It is going to be murder, murder just like the other foreigners traitor tamils
did. For this stiuation, those catholic tigers of tamil drealam headed by the monster barrel man hitler mala
paharan, Tamil Nadu Alliance traitor low lives, dias porats, the bogus asylum seekers, also should take
responsiblity. Those traitor xxxx put pressure through international bogus peace keepers us, uk, france, etc. etc.
and MR had to seek mussie countries help to escape and he too was compelled to turn a blind eye to mussie
onslaught of Wilpaththu destruction, Kuragala destruction, ancient Buddhist temples being bulldozed by the mussies
to make room for new breeds. Are the mussies ever going to live harmoniously? No never. They can’t even live
with their own, so what chance for with non-belivers. Uncontrollable breeding is the reason. Too many mouths
mean more jobs, more food, more schools, more roads, more houses. Everything more, more, more, more,
more, more! The brainwashed mussies don’t want to admit it. They say their goat will supply and breed breed.
Then is there any wonder for these troubles? Not just in Sri Lanka, syria, afganisthan, yemen, somalia, iraq,
afganisthan, pakesthan, etc. etc. etc. Mother Lanka has been very very unfortunate have two cancers, not just
one. To add to her misery she is not short of her own traitors like Batalande Wandakaya, pongol mongol, vairapala
nari sena, cham pakaya, arjunaya durjanaya etc. etc. How unfortunate we’ve been to have these sub humans?
Mussies should learn from the Chinese community in Sri Lanka. They’ve been living in Sri Lanka probably longer
than these fast breedeing mussies. The Chinese never multiplied and multiplied like the mussies. Their population
hardly increased, They’ve fully integrated. People don’t even realise they are there. Mussies? Take over town
after town, halal, eye sore mosques every street corner, ancient Buddhist temples bulldozed for the new breeds,
wild life sanctuaries gone, wanda pethi in food. Every trick in the book you can think of. Then numerous mussie
deshapaluwan of course thanks to fast breeding and bending rules for the mussies. Do you have any word for this
sort of (sub) humans?

INDEED, President Mahinda Rajapakse is DEAD on TARGET! It had occurred to me that NOT ONLY the UNP, BUT ALSO the Tamil Separatists, get a BENEFIT from DESTABILIZING the country by PITTING the Sinhala and Mulim People against each other AT THIS TIME!
AT THIS TIME, when the UN is REVIEWING how Sri Lanka has implemented the promises that Treacherous Western Lackey Avamangala Samaraweera made in Geneva, the Muslim – Sinhala Conflict will ADD FUEL to the COMMUNAL FIRE, CONFIRMS their own ALLEGATIONS of Discrimination, and helps support the DEMANDS of the EELAMISTS for a SEPARATELY Self-Governing Region SOLELY for THEMSELVES!
Whenever some MINORITY GROUP wants to ACQUIRE MORE POWER in Sri Lanka, they CREATE a COMMUNAL CONFLICT, and get automatic INTERNATIONAL sympathy. This has NOW BECOME a ROUTINE STRATEGY for minorities to ACQUIRE POWER & RIGHTS that go ABOVE & BEYOND the rights of the MAJORITY COMMUNITY.
Therefore, we PATRIOTS must ASK OURSELVES, who REALLY ENGINEERED THIS CONFLICT: The UNP to stay in Power, the Tamil Separatists to STRENGTHEN their DEMAND for a SEPARATE EXISTENCE, or Muslim FANATICS who want to CONVERT Sri Lanka GRADUALLY into a Muslim Country?
THERE is MUCH MORE to the CURRENT Communal Conflagaration than meets the EYE! The NEXT PATRIOTIC Govt (NOT the current Yamapalanaya for that would be asking the FOX to MIND the HEN HOUSE!) MUST UNDERTAKE a DETAILED IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION of this issue!

MR urges people to be wary of sinister plans to divide country
March 7, 2018, 11:18 pm
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday warned that some sinister forces, bent on destabilising the country, were trying to engineer another 1983 style conflagration to drum up international support for their constitutional reforms, aimed at dividing the country into several semi-independent states.
Rajapaksa said the gravitation of a section of the Muslim population towards communal political parties had made it easy for the siniser forces to create tensions between the Sinhalese and Muslims by using agent provocateurs.
“I call on citizens belonging to all communities to reflect intelligently on what has been happening and to refrain from
all acts of violence”, he said.
Following is the text of the ex-President’s statement:
Several violent incidents have taken place in Digana after a Sinhala truck driver died in hospital following an assault by a group of Muslim men. The police have made some arrests, but they are yet to be formally identified as the perpetrators of this murder. The full severity of the law should be brought to bear on those responsible. The government should provide adequate compensation to the family of the victim. Following the violent incidents that occurred in Digana, the body of a Muslim youth has been found in a damaged house. Thus two murders have now taken place. The government has imposed a state of emergency in the country. However, even at the time of issuing this statement, tensions have not abated completely. This is the second clash between the Sinhala and Muslim communities within a week. Just days ago there was an incident in Ampara. A few months earlier, there was the Gintota incident and several other incidents in 2017 as well.
The only one way to prevent these clashes is the strict enforcement of the law. Unrest is often generated by real or perceived police inaction in relation to a complaint. The police should respond to disputes or conflicts between different communal groups promptly and decisively. Above all, mob violence and collective punishments against uninvolved persons should be prevented at all costs. It is the task of the government to direct the police properly in handling such situations. The local and foreign forces seeking to destabilise this country are trying to engineer another 1983 style conflagration to drum up support for their constitutional reforms which seek to divide this country into several semi-independent states. I call on citizens belonging to all communities to reflect intelligently on what has been happening and to refrain from all acts of violence.
In the first few years after independence, Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim leaders ruled this country together as partners. G.G. Ponnabalam had a warm and cordial relationship with the Senanayakes. That era ended in the mid-1950s as communalism and separatism came into Northern Tamil politics. In the past, the two main political parties had Muslim leaders like A.C.S. Hameed, M.H. Mohamed, Badiudin Mohamed and Alavi Moulana who were elected to Parliament not only by Muslims but also by Sinhalese voters. During those decades, tensions between the Sinhalese and the Muslims were virtually non-existent.
But since the late 1980s a section of the Muslim population has gravitated towards communal political parties. This has made it easy for conspiratorial forces both local and foreign to inflame tensions between the Sinhalese and the Muslims by using agents provocateurs. The tension that we see now between the Sinhalese and the Muslims is a fairly recent phenomenon. Everyone will remember that such tensions did not exist until about 2012. What was started by conspirators who are now in the yahapalana government, for the purpose of dislodging my government, now appears to have taken on a life of its own and mistrust between the communities is growing by the day.
Even though there are large numbers of Tamils in the north and east, the majority of the Tamil population permanently resides outside the north and east, among the majority Sinhalese. Similarly though there is a significant concentration of Muslims in the east, the vast majority of the Muslims permanently live outside the east, among Sinhalese and Tamils. What we are now experiencing is the mismatch between this demographic reality and communalist politics. The very logic of communal politics requires the portrayal of other ethnic and religious groups as enemies or rivals. Today, the situation is such that a dispute or clash between individuals belonging to different religions or ethnicities, automatically leads to a communal riot that spreads throughout the area.
Obviously this is not a situation that can be allowed to continue. There is a need to create in this country a nationalistic alliance comprising Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim leaders resembling the first post-independence government. This is not going to be an easy task given the poisonous contagion of communalism that has spread in this country over the past several decades. However on the basis of the recently concluded local government elections, I have reason to be cautiously optimistic that a window of opportunity exists to be able to turn back the tide of communalism. I intend initiating a dialogue in this regard with national minded Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim individuals and organisations in due course.

Kumar I didn’t mean democracy is riots. Riots means participate in violent public disorder” we need to find out the reason behind this riots and how this undemocratic government acted before and after. Kumar this government is talking about democracy and Sanhindiyawa day after day but look at the way they govern with so much hatred towards their opponents. Have you seen a government changing their ministerial posts in days, weeks, months like now? The current undemocratic government must go to bring a strong stable government with the public support if not this will be the end of our sinhala homeland.
March 9th, 2018 at 4:45 am
Bond Scams & the No Confidence motion on rw, etc. – all forgotten ??
That could be the reason why the recent Riots were not properly addressed – to cause enough DISTRACTION to push out Scams & No Confidence motion etc ?
O tempora, O mores !

1958 riots was a Tamil Nadu Job. What about Tamils getting rid of Sinhalese in Jaffna Peninsula? Nagadeepa Buddhist Statues ended up in the Sea. Naga Vihara in Jaffna was attacked. Sirima declared an country wide curfew.
What happened in 1983 and what is happened now may be the same on one aspect.
That is India is behind both.
The 19833 killing of unarmed Sinhala officers in Jaffna was a well planned act by India.
I was in Pettah I saw how the shop keepers started the fires from inside of their shops while some Indian Parasites (Tamils and others) attacked from outside. Their own people took photos of the burning fires.
The photos were sent to Western Media like UK Guardian, Fairfax in Australia, Star in Africa and Conrad Black’s in Canada.
The telephone exchange was busy and Indian Parasites who used to control the place were busy taking calls to Canada and other Western countries.
Most of the calls were made to the World Council of Churches Conference that was being held Canada.
You can see how more than 300,000 Indian Parasites went to Canada as refugees.
I had the opportunity to talk to two of the leading clerics who attended this conference after they returned from this conference.
They were baffled as all of the brown skinned attendees were busy about what is happening in the island nation not about the set program of the conference. They managed to pass a motion condemning the island nation and the government.
The Defense Forces at that time were nothing more than a ceremonial outfit.
The events unfolding at the moment are the results of Nanasara of BBS and Champika of JHU who brainwashed Sinhalese against Muslims. BBS receives Indian funds through Norway one of its lay men leaders is an employee of CeyNor (I am sure Sarath knows about Ceynor). The JHU from our Pettah Indian Colonial Parasites.

Someone by the name Sajith Kavinda made this comment in My3’s FB page. Excellent!!

It is in Singhala. Can someone PLEASE translate to English. A lot of good merit for doing so. I can understand.
