Herold Leelawardena Former President Chandrika K had virtually blocked Major General Fonseka becoming the army commander in 2004 when she extended the retirement date of the then commander, Lt General Kottegoda for three years. Mahinda Rajapakse became the president in December 2005 albeit Fonseka had just two weeks to retire. And within a few weeks […]

Herold Leelawardena This article is about why “ƒ”¹…”the Sunday Leader’ and “ƒ”¹…”the Sirasa’ want RanilW out of the leadership of the UNP.The mission of the Western governments for the last 550 years has been to spread Judea Christian values in this country. In their reportings, both “ƒ”¹…”the Sunday Leader’ and “ƒ”¹…”the Sirasa’ follow this cardinal […]

Herold Leelawardena In an open letter to Ranil Wickramasinghe, Mano Ganeshan said that Tamil community is suffering defeatist complex. If that is true, I say, people like him should take the full responsibility for it. They ought to feel guilty about it over and over again. In addition, Ganeshans must ask forgiveness from Tamil people […]

Herold Leelawardena INGO and NGO parasites and those thatƒ”š‚ sponsorƒ”š‚ them, Christian Evangelists and and those that follow them, Separatist dreamers and those that back them have been trying a put-up job of a Rajapakse dictator bogey. What could Rajapakses expect from Bishop Chikera and company? They have been acting the same way the days we fought […]

Herold Leelawardena In a write up to transcurrents.com Dr. Rajan Hoole says the government suspicion of a LTTE resurgence is a bad omen. Had he read the report of that western journalist who had an interview with a guerrilla leader of the LTTE rump in a Mulathivu jungle a few months back and the recent […]

Herold Leelawardena As has been always, the sole aim of the BBC is to discredit MR government. No wonder BBC chose to send a LTTE sympathizer with a Nelsonian eye as their special correspondent to report on the plight of IDPs returnees. It is sad that BBC correspondent emphasises the suffering of only a section […]

Herold Leelawardena Dear Upsara: You have written a short essay and published it in “ƒ”¹…”the Sunday Leader’ and few web sites. If your desire had been to garner public support for your father’s predicaments, by now you must have realised it’s a futile effort. You see Upsara; “ƒ”¹…”the Sunday Leader’ is an antinational tabloid and […]

Herold Leelawardena Strangely enough, appearing in MTV News, Wijitha Herath the JVP MP had been acting as if he is Moon’s Sinhala speaking press man. Wagging a typed paper, Herath told the viewers;”ƒ”š‚it is a clause in this ‘agreement’ that paved the way for UNSG Moon to appoint a commission on Sri Lanka.”ƒ”š‚ It is […]

Herold Leelawardena Just one week after our war ended, with the backing of ten other mostly Caucasian countries, Switzerland submitted a resolution to UNHRC against Sri Lanka on sixteen counts. They wanted to investigate “ƒ”¹…”War Crimes’ at the end of the war. To counter that sham charge, Sri Lanka proposed a five point counter proposal: […]

Herold Leelawardena At its 5040th meeting on 18 September 2004, under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Security Council had adopted the resolution 1564 by 11 votes to none, with 4 abstentions on 18 September 2004. ƒ”š‚ The resolution 1564 requested, inter alia, that the Secretary-General “ƒ”¹…”rapidly establish an international commission of inquiry in […]

Herold Leelawardena According to a write up to transcurrents.com, Mr.J.C.Weliamuna says “Civil society is rejected and hated “ƒ¢¢”š¬…” that is the opinion created in Sri Lanka.”ƒ”š‚ According to him all NGOs are Samaritans; NGOs are a part and parcel of just and a legitimate feature of our democracy; NGOs are the bulwark against dictators. In […]

Herold Leelawardena You said in your write up to Transcurrents.com; “The international community which tilted against Tamil separatist terrorism during the war is now showing signs of tilting against the Sri Lankan state in a seeming bid to forestall Sinhala domination over the Tamil people/areas.”ƒ”š‚ Dayan; you mustn’t think we are born again Christians. You […]

Herold Leelawardena Since the start of the construction of the Hambantota harbour, many a Western analyst paid by the so-called International Community (IC) put forward a China bogey to Indians. Indian analysts too have joined the band wagon later. Not surprisingly, a variety of Tamil diaspora too have coughed up many a punditry warning as […]

Herold Leelawardena Those that accuse Sri Lanka for ‘war crimes’ are the members of a club called the ‘International Community’ (IC). They have two sets of rules to classify terrorism. Killers that follow their fancy are ‘freedom fighter terrorists’ and killers that are against them and destroy their assets are “ƒ”¹…”real terrorists’. In short, IC […]

Herold Leelawardena Kuldip Nayar is known to be great journalist and a pundit. No matter how erudite he is; I think he has got his wires crossed with regards to his opinion on Tamil aspirations. In a write-up that appeared in transcurrent.com dateline 30thƒ”š‚ may 2010, Nayar inter alia insisted that India should have imposed Federalism […]

Herold Leelawardena Piripaharan had led the Tamils throughout the world along the garden path of Elam there never was. He forced the Tamils of the North and East to sacrifice their children and loved ones to reach his illusory goal “ƒ¢¢”š¬…” Eelam. And the naive Tamils followed him through thick and thin to reach that […]

Herold Leelawardena Thisaranee had been going through a series of hallucinations for the last so many years. In that, not only has she been seeing terrorists as freedom fighters but also have been sensing the nationalists as extremists. If you read what she had written for the last few years you will see that she […]

HeroldLeelawardena Last week many a newspapers reported that General Fonseka is to be produced in a civil court. This time, the incriminating charges would be based on a fictitious statement Fonseka is said to have made to “ƒ”¹…”The Leader’. On the 13th December 2009, the headline of “ƒ”¹…”The Leader’ had been: “Gota ordered them to […]

Herold Leelawardena 1)ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚  RanilW does not value that over seventy percent of the electorate is Sinhala Buddhist. 2)ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚  RanilW does not know when to support the government and when to oppose it. 3)ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚ ƒ”š‚  RanilW does not know that the tactics of coming to power with minority votes as the deciding factor are gone for good.

Herold Leelawardena It’s been more than nine months since LTTE, Piripaharan and all its key leaders have been wiped out. But Tamils do not sound or look as if they have forsaken any of LTTE ideals. One could see that trend from their fall to TNA, the LTTE proxy. If not, why did they vote […]

Herold Leelawardena Is it in the Bible that says; “tell me who your friends are; and I will tell you who you are”ƒ”š‚. Anyway, Stupid Fonseka (SF) showed the Sinhalese who his friends are: They were the JVP, the Marxists revolutionaries who bloodied this country in two failed revolutions; and the UNP that got its […]

Herold Leelawardena Both SF and RanilW may have collected their big cheques from the so-called International Community. The JVP may have collected their small cheques from them. All other big and small WOGs such as Mangala, Mano, Hakeem, may have collected even smaller cheques from them. And the NGO suckers may have collected their something […]

by Herold Leelawardena Here in the political platforms of Sri Lanka, General Fonseka is claiming that he is the man who wiped out LTTE and all its leaders. He is asking us to vote him on that account. Our people are not uninformed any more. Moreover, we have a literacy rate of 93% for entire […]

Herold Leelawardena. The contents of the article that Upul Joseph Fernando wrote to daily Mirror that published on 23rd December is untrue. He has been writing a lot of fallacy to Lankadeepa for some time. Pamphlets that he wrote to promote RanilW at the last Presidential election were of no different. Fortunately they bore no […]

Herold Leelawardena In contrast to the bygone days of Jesus and Judas, the history of European colonialism during the last five hundred years is rather well written. Scholars tell us that the Spanish and the Portuguese were the first explorers that sailed across the world. Leave out that jargon; they had gone in search of […]

Herold Leelawardena “People’s Liberation Army emerges in Eastern Sri Lanka- Report”ƒ”š‚ says the Braking new in The Times of Sri Lanka on-line. I feel that is not the core news they want to spread out as ‘braking new’. What they really want to disseminate is; “ƒ”¹…”Sinhala vote is divided and therefore Sinhalese themselves are divided.’ […]

Herold Leelawardena Tamils say they have grievances. But they had never listed it or asked the government to cure it. Instead they came up with uncanny aspirations as a remedy. Grievances we should cure but not the aspirations that are full of hidden agenda. Let’s make no mistake; the goal of aspirations was and still […]

herold leelawardena A man named EVR Periyar is a Tamil. And Tamils are only one of the races among Dravidaians. In the 1930s he had wanted all the Dravidaian of then Madras state to get together and ask the British for a separate country. However, Periyar had not claimed Dravidaians face problems for being Dravidaians. […]

Herold Leelawardena Now that Peripaharan is dead and LTTE is defunct, getting Eelam through war may be over. Good thing, there had been no top rung survivors other than KP, the fugitive. I wish he too had been with Peripaharan and his hoodlums when our forces send them to hell to burn forever. KP is […]

Herold Leelawardena ƒ”š‚ To date, there are over seventy million Tamils that live in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. There are more than one million Tamil diaspora that live in the developed world as well. If you talk to any of them, you will feel that they are at a loss of something that Sinhalese have […]
