Devolution and Mahadenamutta

Palitha Senanayake,Kegalle.The Island - 27th December 1997


A few weeks ago one of your readers had compared the devolution package of G. L. Peiris with the solution Mahadenamutta advocated when a goat had its head stuck in a pot.

To a certain extent it is a fair comparison for Mahadenamutta was oblivious of the poor animal's life when he proposed the solution only to liberate its head. In a similar situation Mr. Peiris had brought package to liberate the North and some parts of the East with scant respect for the territorial integrity of the Sri Lankan nation and the country.

However, the comparison is fair only to a point because Mahadenamutta did not advocate that the rest of the goat's body should be separated into seven more parts just as G. L. Peiris had proposed to do with the rest of the country. Therefore, this comparison is fair to a point beyond which it's unfair by Mahadenamutta.
