MR LILY WHITE RANIL OF BATALANDA fame SAYS THAT THE JOURNALISTS ARE NOT CLEAN
Posted on January 29th, 2016
RANJITH SOYSA
The Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe of Batalanda fame launched a bitter campaign in the Parliament
against the journalists claiming that their hands are not clean. The main thrust of his speech was that the journalists are not doing anything about ‘racism’ and Eknaligoda. He mentioned the names of the leading Sinhala
news papers and paused the question “what are you doing with racism”
It is very clear what he meant by racism? He definitely didn’t mean the racist utterances of Northern Provincial
council’s Vigenswaran or the TNA leaders’ claims to the North and the East or the rights of Tamils . He was referring
to the concerns expressed in the media about the Sinhala Buddhists and the possible progressive erosion of their rights
under the proposed new Constitution. As per the press freedom preserved under the Sri Lanka’s legal system is it
an offense to express views and write about the Sinhala Buddhists while the other ethnic groups always engage on their group rights are getting ready to carve out areas from the country on the basis of their ethnicity?
It was also revealed again that Ranil Wickarmasinghe is determined to ‘punish’ the dirty journalists who talk about things which are averse to himself. He mentioned Keerthi Warankulasuriya and said that he was writing about the fate of the war heroes. Can Ranil refute that our war heroes are going to be investigated by the foreign judges for liberating the country from the scourge of LTTE terrorism which terrorized every citizen in Sri Lanka including the Tamil and the Muslims? Is he not aware of the fact that it was the West which attempted to stop the war against the LTTE and it is the continuation of the very same ‘colonial’ campaign to claim that the victorious Sri Lankan defense forces caused war crimes but agree not to investigate the foreign and local LTTE activists who fueled the terrorist war breaching all national and international laws against terrorism. Why did Ranil Wickramsinghe dragged Keerthi W for writing about the war heroes when facts mentioned by KW are accurate?. Is it to gag KW or frighten this reporter by reminding him of the Brtalanda skeletons?
He again said that Keerthi Warankaulsuriya is a frog in the well! What Ranil inferred was that KW does not know what is happening outside his small world. But, when one reads over some of the issues which KW brought to the notice of the
discriminating readers of Sunday Divaina and Divaina one can guess why Ranil W was short fused as KW ‘s reports were about the dangerous slippery slope in which the country was moving ahead.
Some of the important issues reported in KW’s defense columns deserves the attention of the readers for reexamination of his
point of view. Keerthi Warankulasuriya wrote about the return of the Norwegians on 7th January to coach Sri Lanka about the reconciliation. and the new constitution while providing state aided protection to the LTTE war criminals, KW discussed the contents
of the letter the British Foreign Secretary wrote on the British Elam Front’s demands to the Labor MP McDonald. In that letter the Foreign
Secretary assures that the UK government will prevail on SL government to adhere to the UN Human Rights Commissioner’s resolution guide lines while getting the SL armed forces out of the Northern and the Eastern Provinces. The British Government will also participate in the reorganization of the SL defense forces! KW reported the plans of commemoration of the LTTE at Mulavaikkal and construction of a memorial to the LTTE. KW also brought to the notice of the readers the memorandum submitted to the Government by 12 NGOs and 41
civil society members which included the demands to implement in full the Geneva recommendations . appointment of foreign judges regardS
investigation of war crimes etc He revealed the modern day Judas as the Maj Gen who furnished a affidavit to the US saying that the war crimes were committed by the SL defense forces and when this retired Major General should have been charged for treason as well he was rewarded by Ranil ‘s Government by appointing him as the High Co missioner for Sri Lanka in Pakistan. KW revealed how the
confidential police reports ended up in UN Human Rights Commissioner’s office which is a violation of oat of concerning the state secrets.
In this context KW questioned in the possibility of leakage of confidential intelligence reports of the war against the LTTE. In fact, he reported
that the UN Human Rights Commissioner had sought the confidential operations reports of the defense forces. He discussed the seminar held
in the North sponsored by the Swiss Embassy of a Swiss university. He questions how the Swiss embassy was able to sponsor such a seminar to discuss the internal affairs of the country? He mentions the names of the Director of Swiss university Eva Maria and her colleague Morrisio who were working closely with notorious Bergheoff Corporation which once recommended to reduce the strength of the Sri Lanka defense forces.
He also brought to the attention of the reading public the arrival of to Callum Macrea and Snowden, who were behind the Ch 4 fabricated TV production and their public activities in the North. It is evident that the selected reports of Keerthi Warankualsuirya represent responsible
investigative reporting on matters crucial to the country’s sovereignty and security, The readers will vouch that the reports are definitely are not the product by a frog in the well, but the work of an investigative journalist.
Ranil Wickramsinghe stoops so low by mentioning the names of other journalists too and calling Chatura at Derana a Riri Yaka.
Ranil Wickramsinghe is supposed to be a senior member of the international Liberal organization and but his diatribe on SL journalism and the journalists is an attempt put fear into the messengers while exposing his Hitlerian agenda for Sri Lanka .

Ranjit; I am sure he is referring to Prageeth Eknaligoda.
Ranjit let us join together and expose the Indian Empire, its activities carried out using the West, Indian colonial parasites and vermin.
It will be an offence to talk about the India Empire, Indian imperialism, Indian colonial parasites and terrorists arms of the Indian Empire like the LTTE and the JVP.
Sinhala Buddhists are not a race.
Sinhalese are a race that includes Buddhists, Christians and Muslims of the Island.

Mask has come out and the whole country saw who this ”Batalandey Ponil” is. Whatever crap he utters in parliament and those childish tantrums he’s throwing at Keerthi Warnakulasooriya the respected journalist, is bound to backfire and the low life is destined to meet his waterloo.
People should challenge this worm to do whatever he can, to silence those patriotic journalists. Lasantha Wickramatunge invited his fate by doing what he did. No sane journalist who understands what ”journalism” is will ever do whatever he did. This is the same fate that befell on that other scummy Eknaligoda.
This so called PM atleast doesn’t have the common sense or the honesty to admit this truth. Any low life like that Sannasgalayaa is a respected journalist to this moron.
Ponilaa is screaming in a rage because he could sense that the end is near. Once the new front is registered with GR at the helm, all these scummys starting from that treacherous low life CBK better bite the cyanide capsule and finish off their pathetic low lives, before they are brought to justice for the amount of treachery they have committed against the country and its people.
Down with the traitors !!!

Christie, there’s nothing to unite. All patriotic Sri Lankans are one as long as they understand and respect the ancestors who gave their lives in millions to save the motherland from invaders.
This is what the northerners are NOT willing to admit and goes on demanding a separate state. They must be and will be defeated.

Let us support Maha Rana Viru Yoshitha Rajapaksa. This man, who risked his life to bring us peace, has been arrested.

Now Maru Sira, Run-nil and Bandit BARBARIANS have ARRESTED Yoshitha once again for NO reason!!!
Bloody dictators and western HUMAN RIGHT MFs are silent!
But look what MR will do. He will AGREE with them NOT to support the NEW PARTY so that Yoshitha will be released. This is the problem. The DEVILS KNOW that MR is scared of their DEVILISH tactics.
This cunning govt. offers CARROTS to the GREEDY and uses the STICK to the COWARDS. Since the entire political spectrum is made up of the GREEDY and the COWARD, the govt. strategy works!!!
We need leaders who are NOT GREEDY and NOT COWARDLY. Maru Sira and Run-nil cannot do anything to such a leader.
Anyway this is a good lesson for patriots. Next time when patriots come to power make sure KEY UNP and traitor families are punished. Tit for tat.

RANIL PROCLAIMS TO THE NATION THAT ** THE JOURNALISTS HANDS ARE NOT CLEAN **
I like to be enlightened on the following:-
1…Is this present Government known as the “Yaha paalana Government with Good Governance ?
2…Can we infer that LILY WHITE Ranils HANDS ARE CLEAN ?
3…Can the Central Bank Bond Scam be equated to the Greatest Financial Robbery in the History of Sri Lanka ?
4…Was it not carried out by Ranil, Ravi, and Central Bank Governor, going into BILLIONS AND BILLIONS ?
5…Why was this Perverse and Blatant Robbery by the aforesaid TRIO, not subject to investigation By the FCID ?
6…Why were they not Handcuffed and taken in the Black Maria Van, to Courts and Prison ?
7…Was it because they were very POWERFUL PEOPLE, in charge of “good governance’ in the Republic of Sri Lanka ?
8…Why did not the IMF branch in Sri Lanka turn a blind eye without any form of challenge to the Government ?
9…Why did not Ranil heed the request by the PRESIDENT OF SRI LANKA, to get rid of the Governor Central Bank ?
10..WHO IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA, THE PRIME MINISTER OR THE PRESIDENT.
11..NEXT, ANOTHER BIG FRAUD BEING PERPETRATED BY THE FINANCE MINISTER, OF GOOD GOVERNANCE.
January 30th, 2016 at 5:26 pm
SRI LANKA IS PLAGUED WITH LARGE SCALE FINANCIAL FRAUDS AND ROBBERIES, WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST FORM OF CHALLENGE, BECAUSE THOSE WHO HOLD RESPONSIBILITY, FOR CHALLENGING, INCLUDING THE VOTERS OF SRI LANKA, ARE LIVING IN MORTAL FEAR OF REPERCUSSIONS, AND RETALIATORY MEASURES OF THE MOST BARBARIC FORM LIKE BATALANDA.
1…Was it in the News that a “BELGIUM NATIONAL” was sending ONE BILLION to Sri Lanka for fiscal expenditure ?
2…Was it mentioned that the money will come in two tranches, one from Brussels, and one from Luxemberg ?
3…Was it mentioned that this ANONYMOUS FINANCIERS name will be kept in total secrecy, from the People of Sri Lanka ?
4…Is this not tantamount to a MAJOR FINANCIAL FRAUD, perpetrated on the citizens of Sri Lanka ?
5…Is the BROKER of this reprehensible perverse transaction the Finance Minister or not ?
6…Why has not The President challenged this sordid deal, nor advised those responsible for ACCOUNTABILITY ?
7…Is the Finance Minister answerable to the Prime Minister, President or to both, and the Sri Lankans as a whole, or not ?
8…Have voters of Sri Lanka mandated the Prime Minister or President to allow Financial Fraud so openly ?
9…Are these two ICONS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE not answerable for such BOGUS FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ?
10..WHO IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY, PRESIDENT, OR PRIME MINISTER, OR NOBODY, TO STOP THIS CIRCUS ?
THIS IS DAMNINGLY, DESPICABLE, DOWNRIGHT, DESPOTISM AGAINST ALL SRI LANKANS, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION. NO POLITICIAN HAS EVER PLAYED SUCH PERVERSE FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL, SKULDUGGERY, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION. IT IS MY POINT OF VIEW THAT THE PRESIDENT OF SRI LANKA IS TOTALLY ANSWERABLE TO THIS FINANCIAL MAL-ADMINISTRATION, BY ACTORS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE.
IS THE TERMINOLOGY **GOOD GOVERNANCE** A PSEUDO FRONT TO COMMIT DICTATORSHIP ON THE PEOPLE OF SRI LANKA, AND MAKE THE PEOPLE OF SRI LANKA SERVILE TO THE BRIGANDS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE ?
I stand to be corrected on any aforesaid incorrect presentations. Includes the earlier comment too.
