The 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) commenced today (Sep. 25) at the UN Headquarters in New York with President Sirisena and his son Daham attending the meeting on behalf of Sri Lanka sitting at the country’s podium with the other government officials.
The summit on Sustainable Development was begun with the key note address by the Pope Francis.In his speech., Pope Francis urged the United States not to turn its back on undocumented immigrants, to reject the victimization of religious and ethnic minorities, to overcome income inequality and to save the planet from climate change, citing Scripture and the nation’s founding ideals in a historic address to Congress Thursday. the pope decried the destruction of the environment through a “selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity.”
The environment itself has rights, and mankind has no authority to abuse them, said Francis, who hopes to spur concrete commitments at the upcoming climate-change negotiations in Paris.
He demanded immediate access for the world’s poor to adequate food, water and housing, saying they have the right to lodging, labor and land.
Francis’ speech, delivered in his native Spanish, received repeated rounds of applause from an audience that included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Bill and Melinda Gates, and Nobel peace laureate Malala Yousefzai, the young Pakistani activist shot and gravely wounded by the Taliban.

Why the hell is Srisena’s son is there in the UN assembly? Srisena and others were making a loud noise accusing MR of grooming his son Namal Rajapakse for higher positions, even though he was a properly and legally elected to the parliament. But, now what business this guy Daham has in the UN Assembly? Is he the bodyguard for his father?

No need to blame this guy Sira we should blame the stupid Idiots who voted him to power. Our stupids just gave the vote without thinking of the future or the Sinhala nation by believing bogus promises and unbelievable lies created by UNP to tarnish the image of our great hero Mahinda Rajapaksa. Now see the situation in the country? The whole set up is upside down. Nobody is safe on the road or at home.Tamils were given free hand to celebrate ,protest openly on political issues which we haven’t seen at any stage after the war during Rajapksa rule. Some Armed Forces camps has been taken out from the North and the security personnel been sent to barracks, Some check points were removed, Foreigners were allowed to move freely and make movies against our country to tarnish the image of our war heroes, Opposition leadership was given to a Tamil party while there is a majority Sinhala opposition sitting in the Parliament.
Sira knows that this will be his first and the last he will sit on the throne and act like a King although he blames Mahinda for being a King himself. This guy has no shame.While he is going around the world our Poor Goviya is dying without been able to sell his crops. This guy broke all the records after he became the King. His crown Prince Ranil and the Witch Doctor Choura both are going around the country marketing their bogus new slogans to hoodwink the masses more and more while Sira is grooming his son for a advisory post or a Chairman post in the Govt the same way he made his brother in the Telecom. Before he leaves his job as President he will make sure that all his brother’s will be in good positions in Govt or Private sector including his son and daughter. So let them enjoy the free rides around the world on Govt expense and cheat the people more with their lies. I hate cheaters and traitors.

Why have they no smiles in their faces?
Because their sub-conscious (if any) says they are betraying our heroic armed forces and the whole nation.

I would suggest that like King Asoka of India who was Dharmista is supposed to have sentenced his son to death because the son had run over a calf and the cow had gone and rung the bell which anyone could ring for justice. If My3 wants to show how Dharmista he is before he prosecutes others he must take up his son’s case and have it heard by FCID and then bring it out into the open and clear his name once and for all. Please see the links below for details of Daham’s activities. As soon as My3 came into power he got him a green card and out of the country. Now My3 is under obligation to USA.
