(Lanka-e-News -15.Nov.2015, 11.00PM) A conspiracy to oust Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and to replace him with a defeated prime minister of the SLFP has come to light , based on reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division. A pro Sajith Premadasa group of MPs about 25 including a small UNP group of State deputy ministers  who are  disillusioned because they did not obtain cabinet minister portfolios  have held secret discussions in this regard . Lanka e news shall be revealing the names of this group later, as  this is not the opportune moment  to do that.

Behind this secret conspiracy is an ungrateful president himself who is only worried about the defeated SLFP under his own leadership , and hence   nursing the hope that an  SLFP government shall come into power under his leadership. Obsessed with these evil thoughts and wrongful desires ,the president bit the hand that fed him , by kicking out the very people who installed him in power within two days of becoming the president , while  painting the wrong picture that all these treacherous moves and activities are orchestrated  by the Rajapakses, based on reports .

As a preliminary step , which is part of the traitorous conspiracy, after plotting successfully the resignation of  Thilak Marapone who is very close to Ranil , the same calculated plot has been hatched against Wijedasa Rajapakse and  Vajira Abeywardena who are also very close to Ranil Wickremesinghe. As part of this conspiracy  ,a newspaper canard was published as lead news in a weekend newspaper belonging to Thilanga Sumathipala who is a close crony of the president. The article  carried the bogus news under the caption ‘Vajira, Marapone, Wijedasa  not wanted  – UNP MP’s petition.’   The names of the  UNP MP’s mentioned therein are those who were not in  the UPFA nomination  list given by Maithri to Mahinda Rajapakse , yet  succeeded at elections on the UNP votes  after securing nomination through UNP party.

Both ruling government and opposition under a  dictator

It is a matter for regret that the new Government instead of forging ahead with new plans and programs , is allowing the traitorous group to engage in a series of conspiracies to undermine the parliamentary power of the UNP party led by Ranil   that came into power on  the votes of the people.
The epicenter of  this conspiracy is the formation of an unofficial opposition party under Maithripala Sirisena.  While there exists an official opposition , and Sampanthan is its leader, Dinesh Gunawardena has been proposed to lead the unofficial opposition with Dallas Alahaperuma as the chief opposition whip.  At the budget debate separate time allocations are also requested for them.

What is most perplexing is , this unofficial group meets as the UPFA parliamentary  group under the president himself. Besides , the UPFA ministers appointed by president Maithripala are to  openly criticize the government’s actions designedly to provoke  the people against Ranil and the UNP.

A case in point is the conduct of sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekera. While being the sports minister he is bitterly castigating the FCID and its actions. In the midst of  this if the president says,  the president must be informed in case the army commander under him is to be interrogated,  it is very evident who is fueling Dayasiri to criticize FCID.

Maithripala Sirisena is engaging in all the dirty tricks and sordid games to bring the ruling government as well as the opposition at the same time under him and run them. He is trying to eat the cake slyly  and gobble  it selfishly alone not realising  he will be left with nothing when the most valuable moment for  sharing arrives. By all these machinations and manipulations , he is trying to form an SLFP government clandestinely , when in fact what he should do on the contrary  is , warn and correct his subordinates who are acting counter to dent the unity of the government. Mind you  they are the UPFA MPs , and UPFA leader is Maithripala, and not Mahinda Rajapakse.

It is a pity that  the president has conveniently forgotten on whose votes he came to power on  8 th January. He is able to appoint the most corrupt individuals of the Maithripala Sirisena –Rajapakse era and strengthen the SLFP , all because he won on 8 th January. At the same time when the UNP appoints it members on par with his ,they are being chased out  .While appointing pro MaRa Hettiarachchis and  Chamudhithis shamelessly , Zuhair who was appointed by the UNP was expelled.

The latest reports are even  worse and most reprehensible … :

The Digital ministry of Harin Fernando belongs to the UNP , yet it is Kumarasinghe Sirisena the notorious corrupt  younger brother of Maithripala who forcibly appointed himself as the chairman of Telecom Mobitel which comes under the Digital ministry , thereby depriving the UNP of the opportunity to appoint a chairman of its choice.

The Directors , Krishantha Cooray and Thusitha Haloluwa appointed by the UNP are strongly opposed to Maithripala’s  younger brother’s attempt to raise his monthly salary to Rs. 10 million, as well as they are against  his other  corrupt activities . Recently Maithripala summoned Harin Fernando and told him to dismiss Krishantha  Cooray and Thusitha Haloluwa from their posts. The reason cited was , they are opposed to his younger brother.

It is significant to note when people who elected the government mounted charges ,  Ranil set an example by requesting Thilak Marapone to resign .It is best if Maithripala follows that example set by Ranil . What  Maithripala should also do is order his corrupt self centered  younger brother to resign, instead of turning antagonistic towards those who are against the younger brother’s corrupt and nefarious activities.

In the midst of all these nefarious and horrendous activities, to further compound the confusion , Mathripala Sirisena has given over a business concern of  the country to the forces bypassing the parliament .

May we remind,the people steered Maithri to power not  to create a presidency through him, but  rather  to abolish presidency

In the circumstances , the people who elected this government to power are entitled to  understand the situation in the right perspective..

The people did not make Maithripala president , to start a SLFP government , and for him to continue as president. Rather it was to abolish presidency through him. If Maithripala had revealed ahead that he was going to be the leader of the SLFP two days after winning , not even a stray dog would have voted for him. May we remind lest he has forgotten , Maithripala all along said till his tongue protruded out in fatigue that , since he won by fielding as  a common candidate , after becoming president he would be impartial and sans party affiliations.

President Maithripala having  forgotten all those solemn assurances, is now exploiting  the powers of the obnoxious executive presidency to transfer businesses to the forces ; and  through his younger brothers, daughters and sons in law trying  every business in the country to make money. In addition , he is seeking to change the prime minister who was duly elected on the people’s votes and wishes , while day dreaming of forming an SLFP government .

(By a separate report we shall reveal soon about how using the family including younger bro, daughters and sons in law , who through involvements in the country’s businesses are seeking to make a fast buck at people’s expense to the country’s detriment.)

It is fortunate that the people at least had been able to identify the creature within ten months , before it is too late.  It is well for Maithripala Sirisena Lokka (chief) , his henchmen and hangers on to remember it took just one month only for the people to throw out lock ,stock and barrel , the Rajapakses and the regime of Rajapakse who arrogated to himself the powers of five presidents .
