The worst political liars are in Sri Lanka. From time to time, they are on both sides. The most recent fiasco relating to the then Presidential Candidate relating to his citizenship status was hilarious. Let’s recapitulate:
Harin Fernando took the front line fight to charge that Gota is still a US citizen. When Facebook took down his post, HF took to Twitter to post his anger American companies shouldn’t interfere on behalf of an American contesting Sri Lanka’s election. I stand by my every word,”
Dr. Inguruwatte Sumangala Thero began a fast unto death demanding SLPP produce documentary evidence to prove revocation of US citizenship, otherwise, he will continue his fast unto death. His banners read in Sinhala, meaning Save our country from the conspiracy by Gotabaya Rajapakse who is attempting to betray our Great Mother Land to America”.
The monk is still living and well. Sadhu! Sadhu!!
Prof. Chandragupta Thenuwara ( Professional of Visual Arts) and Gamini Viyangoda( a professional driver who worked overseas) filed applications in the Court of Appeal and then lost. Then appealed to the Supreme Court and lost again.
Lankaweb reported on 4th October 2019, under the caption MR GAMINI WIYANGODA GOES GO KUNUGODA” and said, Mr. Wiyangoda once again has gone to the place where he deserves to reside, i.e. Kunu Goda” when his application was rejected by the CoA without consideration.
According to Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe of JHU, two persons who filed a petition challenging Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s dual citizenship, Gamini Wiyangoda, and also Prof. Chandragupta Thenuwara are receiving death threats now and there is a great deal of hatred and violence on the other side. We would like to appeal to all those who defend law and order at this time we ask for the protection of these two petitioners”. Prof Thenuwara left Sri Lanka on 16 November, we wish him a long life!
Patali Champaka said Gota was trying to claim power illegally, he said so after meeting Malwatte Chapter in Kandy, claiming Gota still has no documents to prove revocation of US citizenship and attempting to grab power illegally”
Gotabaya Rajapakse remained silent throughout, but finally on 30 September 2019 he made it loud and clear by saying: Judiciary will determine my innocence” declares Gotabaya Rajapaksa: says He has followed the relevant procedure in all matters and that documents concerning his identity and citizenship being challenged in Courts are authentic.
Gotabaya is a man who speaks the truth. He knows if the 4th precept of Musawada Weramani is broken, then naturally you break at least one more precept.
Long live Gotabaya.
