NO CONFIDENCE MOTION VIS-A-VIS JOINT OPPOSITION STRATEGY
Posted on March 29th, 2018
By M D P DISSANAYAKE
The No Confidence Motion primarily has two purposes. Firstly to unseat the Prime Minister. Secondly to form the next government.
UNSEATING THE PRIME MINISTER:
RW is a fighter. He became Prime Minister three times, but on two occasions, including the current tenure, he got into hot water. First time he lost his job. This time around he is on the knife edge. He is a shrewd, intelligent, cruel, unpatriotic leader. His masters are always foreign leaders. He is not a Buddhist in real sense. He is not a Sinhalese. He is not a Sri Lankan. To solve severe economic problems, he offers simple solutions. Last time as Prime Minister, he promised to give free ALERICS ICE CREAM to children. Most recently he promised WIFI. If RW continue as PM for another five years, more than half of Sri Lanka will be dominated by Muslims and Tamils. Therefore, Joint Opposition must be respected for its hardwork on bringing NCM immediately after winning local elections, to bring the PM to the guillotine.
JOINT OPPOSITION STRATEGY:
Unseating RW is not the end of the disastrous political period for Sri Lanka. JO has already promised to support the appointment of a SLFP Prime Minister, but refrain from taking cabinet positions. The public need to know whether JO has entered into an Agreement with the President for extending the support for a SLFP candidate, until next General or Presidential Elections and full disclosure of terms and conditions of the Agreement. The JO must use its influence at this stage and offer only conditional support, within an agreed framework. These should include:
- Immediate suspension of any attempts to change the Constitution. This should be left alone for a future Mahinda Rajapakse lead regime;
- Immediate release of Ranaviruwo, who had been under arrest;
iii. Removal of Sarath Fonseka and Jayampathi Wickremaratne as National List Members;
- Removal of Sambandan as Leader of Opposition by recognising Joint Opposition as a Recognised Political Party in the Parliament;
- Suspension of receipt of any further payments from China for the sale of Hambantota projects;
- Nullify any agreements with United Nations on the formation of Hybrid Court.
It is imperative to involve President Sirisena to initiate this action, following a passage of a Special Resolution in the Parliament. It is not necessary to keep this matter pending for future MR government.
If Joint Opposition cannot obtain an Agreement on these matters ( and any other major issues), it is a far better solution to pass a Resolution to amend the Constitution to call for dissolution of the Parliament.
Above all, the Joint Opposition MUST NOT TRUST MAITHREEPALA SIRISENA.

Very true ” must not trust Sirisena” MDP I fully endorse your suggestions to JO. They must act strongly as they have the majority backing of the people in this country at this point. Mahinda is a true statesman and people respects and trust him more than anybody else in the political spectrum today. He shouldn’t waver at this point on any issue. He and his team must demand what public is asking for from the government. Local bodies in his hands now so he should plan for the next general and presidential elections by listening to the people’s demands and work accordingly to bring the country back to normalcy as these yamaballo in Yamapalanaya has ruined the economy and looted the government coffers in a daylight robbery by it’s prime minister and his gang of thieves. Support Sirisena but do not take any positions and join with the Ali Baba gang. People are watching every step of our leader Mahinda Rajapaksa so he should be very careful in dealing with this Yamapalanaya government. No hanky panky business. We need a clean honest strong stable government from Mahinda Rajapaksa in the future.
