We don’t believe in Sinhala only power – Anura Kumara Dissanayake
Excerpts of an interview given by Tamil servile Anura Kumara on 5th January 2022 to Daily Mirror staff Susitha Fernando are given below with appropriate comments.
Preamble:
- We can appoint a Cabinet with people who are extremely qualified in the respective subject areas. (A stupid suggestion. People of this country have even rejected many prominent professionals coming to politics. For example, the Father of Hydro Power was rejected by the people when he contested elections. This may be a suggestion to indirectly support the policies of Ranil Wickremasinghe. It was reported that whenever Ranil comes to power gets many foreigners to serve advisors to him on various fields. If this stupid suggestion open its gateway Ranil will directly appoint them as Ministers instead of keeping them as advisors)
- we have seen how these corrupt and disastrous regimes have been toppled by people getting on to the streets (No government has so far been toppled by people going to the streets. However. in 1953 the successful Hartal launched by the Left parties and Trade Unions forced Dudley Senanayake tp flee and hide in a ship at the Colombo harbour and subsequently call for elections. The other incident of forcing elections was the backstabbers’ coup in which backstabbers C.P.De Silva/Maha.Nama Samaraweera made 14 MPs to cross over from the government in 1964 that paved for elections in 1965)
- During
the war we should have thought more seriously about the difficulties faced by
the ordinary Tamil civilians. (This braggart has no concern about the
atrocities faced by the Sinhalese/Muslim people – Why you ignore, the massacre
of unarmed people including women and children in Sinhala villages, massacre of
Buddhist Bikkhus st Aranthalawa, Massacre of Muslims at Kattankudi/Polonnaruwa,
and massacre of school children by bus bomb killings in Anuradhapura, Mannar ,
Maradana etc.)
- As
short-term plans we need to focus on investments that could ensure dollar
earning(No specifics – only conjectures and hallucinations)
- I
don’t think we should even talk about a common agenda(Yesd, we have had enough
sufferings from common agenda of 2015.
On the other hand, I do not think that no party in Sri Lanka will come
forward to enter into a common agenda with these bluff masters)
- With
regard to change of government our first option is elections (Why
elections. You can never win elections,
so, try for your 3rd rebellion and get lost and wiped out)
- We
are a political orgnisation that understands the sensitivity and movements of
the people (Then why you miserably failed twice?)
With the social, political and economic changes in the
country over the last two years, specially, since the spread of the Covid
19 pandemic, Jathika Jana Balawegaya or National People’s Power (NPP), the
broader alliance of Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, has shown impressive progress in
its popularity among all section of the society. Having no faith in the two
traditional political camps, specially given the repeated allegations of
corruptions during both regimes, NPP claims that real progressive change is
possible in the country only under its rule. In this backdrop the Daily Mirror
interviewed NPP Leader and MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
Excerpts of the
interview.
Q At the recently held Representative
Summit you said that you are ready to take over the power from the Rajapaksas.
But at a time. the country is going through one of its worst social, political
and economic downturns do you have a plan to put the country back on track?
This braggart like the fable relating to the jackal
going after the lamb expecting its hanging testicles to fall down soon, was day
dreaming to assume leadership in this country from the very day he assumed
leadership in the JVP. Thinking that the
people of this country are dan imbeciles this braggart now appears in three
faces to deceive the people as leader of JVP. JJB and NPP and has the acronym
of Moonru Mugam, Muhunu thune pambaya the three faced”)
These two traditional parties have led
this country to the most disastrous end. To transform this country there is an
urgent need to take over the political power. We are ready to give leadership
to this new transformation. And we can appoint a Cabinet with people who are
extremely qualified in the respective subject areas and have as its members
much more qualified individuals compared to both the previous and the present
regimes. We have the resource persons for that. And also instead of a
Parliament comprising politicians engaging in illegal liquor business, illegal
sand and gem mining and criminal activities we can appoint a team comprising
members who would serve the people.
(This matter has been duly
responded under Preambles and believe a repetition is not needed)
Making the plan to build the country is
not the sole responsibility of the government. The government has to prepare
plans for that, give leadership to achieve targets and for that all the
sections of the society have to be involved. So, it is not going to be the
concept of this person or that person, but a collective endevour is needed and
we are in the process of initiating an operation to prepare for this collective
effort.
(This
braggart taking about the future, is st4ill crawling in the pre-2015 two party
– unuth ekai, munuth ekai period.
Politics in Sri Lanka has changed vastly since this period and now there
are four major political forces in the country – the SLPP, SLFP, UNP and
SJB. He said that they are in the
process of initiating a collecting effort on the The response given by the
people at 2019 presidential election is suffice for him if he is an honest
person)
Q Right now the
burning issue at hand is the economy. How are you planning to pull the nation
out of this debt-trapped economic situation?
A:At the outset we need to inform the
people that we have been issuing warnings about this situation several decades
ago. This economical journey, which does not tally with realities of the
people, happened because loans were taken to create huge concrete jungles and
there was waste and corruption that took place with that money. We are in a
massive debt trap despite the repeated warnings we gave. To get out of this
situation we need a short-term, mid-term and a long-term plan and we also need
a vision to solve the issues created by this economic situation. We need a
long-term plan to sustain the economic situation.
(About which administration he is
talking about. Was it about Mahinda
Rajapaksa development era or Sirisena/Raniil destructive era in which they
played a major-role to protect, safeguard and promote that era. His reference to building implies
construction of Expressways – a new concept introduced to replace pot-hold
fishing pooled roads in the country, building new harbours, airports,
communication towers and so on, all of which were new income earning avenues
for the country, On the other hand,
Ranil/Srisena era was asset selling, luxury vehicles importing, suspension of
development project era. If the Sirisena/Ranil era they supported by then had
continued for another
Few years with their
non-development policies, Sri Lankawould have become the poorest country in the
world)
At the short-term level we need to do an extensive audit investigation on the
project we have initiated from these loans and must talk with the institutions
which lent these loans. We must immediately go for a loan restructuring plan
for at least three years. Secondly even today the unit that generates the
highest foreign income to the country is Sri Lankan workers abroad. That is
about US$ 7.5 billion. But since last June there is a drop of about USD 1.6
billion. That is to say that these leaders have failed even to get the foreign
income that could have been generated for this country. So we need to have a
plan to maintain the existing foreign income avenues and make new plans to
increase that. There are a large number of rich Sri Lankans around the world
and we are inviting them to invest in this country and join in the efforts to
build this country. I don’t say that overnight we could get out of the present
crisis we are in right now. But we could generate income at least to get the
essential commodities.
(This braggart seems to be a frog
in the well and is oblivious to the pandemic situation that the economies of
the whole world with many foreign employees losing their jobs and forced to
return to their countries. This
situation resulted in a decline in receiving foreign remittances. However, the world economy seems to be
gradually reviving and accordingly
the Foreign Employment Bureau of
our country have formulated plans to extensively increase foreign job
opportunities to Sri Lankans. This
cannot be done overnight but have to be done with much patience and
persuasions.)
Thirdly if we are going to a third party, which is the most popular answer
right now, it has to be done depending on how conducive the conditions that
would be imposed by these third parties on the country. As a popular option we
are not planning to go to a third party to get out of this crisis.
(Here, he indirectly parrots the
views of Ranil Wickremasinghe and the reactionary cabal. When Ranil
Wickremasinghe entered the new parliament, he made a long speech and urged the
government to go to IMF and seek IMF help to address Sri Lanka’s economic
problems. They still keep on repeating
this demand.
A report published in the Aruna
newspaper on 5th January 2022 the Minister of Finance Mr. Basil
Rajapaksa has apprised the Cabinet that
as per discussions held with IMF and other global financial institutions if
their assistance is to be obtained , Sri Lanka will be forced to float the
currency resulting in huge increases of prices of essential items, pruning
public sector employments and lift import restrictions. He has explained that if these measures were
implemented, the rupee will have to be devalued by 15%, the price of a kilo of
Dhal will shoot up to Rs. 400 against the dollar, diesel prices have to be
increased by Rs. 25/-, the present 8% VAT has to be increased, the current
electricity charge of Rs. 16/- has to be increased to Rs. 25-/- and the present
charge for water will have to be increased by about Rs. 10/- per unit.
As a midterm plan, we need to restructure the investment procedure that took
place over the last so many years. If you take, about 35 percent of the recent
investments were on development of roads and highways. As short-term plans we
need to focus on investments that could ensure dollar earning.
(While the people o the country are
very much appreciative about road developments in the country, for instance
which has reduced the travel time between Matara and Colombo from 5 hours to 1
½ hours, this bloke find fault with spending about 35% of investments for road
development and he is blind to the massive income being derived from the toll charges
of these Expressways)
We still believe that our traditional
crops could generate income in the world market. Secondly we have a plan to
acquire a part in the world’s software market. We are sure that we could
acquire at least USD 15 billion in the market. We need to prepare a long-term
economic plan considering geographical setting of our country, her resources
including human resources, civilization and world politics. I don’t say that we
can do this overnight, but if we can work on a plan at least for five to six
years we can save our country from this deepest crisis.
(This imbecile braggart living in a
world of hallucinations says we can do this, we can do that but fails to
present concrete and credible short term, medium term or long term plans for
the development of the country)
Q Even though you
talk about taking over power it cannot happen democratically given the ground
realities. This government has just completed only two years and there are
three more years to go. Isn’t it advisable for you to support the existing
government which is in a severe financial crisis; at least to see till its term
is over?
A:Do you belive that these leaders have a
genuine aim to develop this country? Covid-19 was a disaster that brought fear
of death to everyone’s doorstep. These leaders even robbed from that pandemic
catastrophe. The fertilizer crisis was a direct hit on the farmers. They even
robbed off the import of fertilizer. Do you think they want to solve these
problems? Today a minister sits on his chair with the plans to earn for
himself. He doesn’t have any idea or vision for this country or the future. So,
I don’t think we should even talk about a common agenda. When the Covid 19
pandemic was spreading we spoke to the government. It was not a pandemic of the
government.
It was a natural disaster and to save the
country from that we were ready to give the fullest participation. We proposed
a common mechanism. But the rulers didn’t do that because within a common
mechanism they would not have been able to rob from the antigen tests, bringing
down Sri Lankans from abroad, or even buying necessary medicine and medical
equipment. So there is no use in talking about a common mechanism with these
leaders.
(Do you think that these hooligans
who twice attempted to form a dictatorship in the country have a genuine desire
to develop this country? They have
taken all personal precautions against Covid-19 and staging protests against
various issues facing the country. How
strange it is that no one from these hooligans got affected by Covid-19? Are they super humans when people belonging
to all other parties have got affected and some have even died? They continue to utter blatant lies to the
people on one side and stage lunch, drinks, stipend and transport provided
demonstrations with the sole intention of creating chaos in the country)
Q But aren’t
there three more years during which Gotabaya Rajapaksa can lead this country?
A; With regard to change of government our
first option is elections. But in the world we have seen how these corrupt and
disastrous regimes have been toppled by people getting on to the streets. That
is also democracy. Even though that is not our plan we are ready for that. The
corrupt and dictatorial regimes have been toppled not only by elections but by
people who had come to the streets. There are so many examples in the recent
history in the world. So, there is no necessity to go for another three
years.
(You are in a desperate hurry to
launch your envisaged revolt as you know if you wait for another three years
for the elections there will be no one to vote for your diminishing part, under
whatever name you appears, except the LGBTs and same-sex practitioners)
Q Do you think
that Sri Lankan or Sri Lankans will go to that extent of toppling the
government via a street fight?
A:We are a political orgnisation that
understands the sensitivity and movements of the people. People are not static
like statues. The reality is that speaking against the injustice and queuing up
against the inequality. It is a natural phenomenon. If you study the movement
of the human nature this is a natural phenomenon.
(This enemy of the people give a
new interpretation that holding demonstrations against an elected government
and toppling it as democracy. In the
above referenced response, he clearly indicates that they have a plan to revolt
against the government and topple it without waiting for another three years
for elections. This is tantamount to treason.
Therefore, the government should take immediate steps to take him and
his hooligans into custody and charge them for planning to revolt against the
government and against the mandate of the people. Prior to the elections the Maha Sanga and
many intellectuals wanted the President to act as a Hitler and clear this
country from all scrums. The President
should not wait for anymore and should initiate immediate action to take this
rebellious group into custody)
Q Are you ready to give
leadership if a situation like that arises?
A:Yes. If there is a danger that the
country would become a failed state and if there is a breakdown of social
institutions then as a political movement, we have a responsibility to do that.
(In the above response too he confirms their plan to
revolt against the government and addfs that it is there responsibility to do
so as a political movement. So, the time
is ripe for the President to prevent another rebellion against the country, and
act like Madam Sirimavo Bandaranaike and R.Premadasa)
Q But if you
study the history and how different regimes have suppressed a similar rise of
people and how it would lead to an extremely dangerous situation, this country
could be led on to a worst situation.
A:Those are only legends in the history.
Not only the Rajapaksas, but no one else could lead this country to such
suppressive rule. We know that military and retired military officers have been
used in many areas of administration. There is no room for a military regime in
Sri Lanka. At the same time even though there are a few high ranking and
privileged section of the military with the government, the majority in the
middle and lower ranks are not with this disastrous regime. They do not want to
be a part of this ruinous and devastating governance. They also have a burning
pain against it. So, I don’t think even though the Rajapaksas have an intention
and need to do that, there is no possibility of that.
(This braggart continues to
emphasize the need to topple the government by an anti-democratic uprising and
for which the President, the government and the people should rally together
before these hooligans once again unleash chaos in the country)
(To be continued……)
