In those days there was a political\nanalysis from well respected politicians of this country.They request not to\nappoint the above personal to take power of the country. And not to take back\nthe country from the person after all as well. It is because his legacy &amp;\nideology will inflict much damage to country. The truth was his constitution\nwas not designed to develop the country, or ensure security, safety, law and\norder of Sri Lanka. <strong>In a nutshell it was not a constitution to build the\nSri Lanka our nation want to own<\/strong>. That constitution was made to become\nhimself a little less status of a dictator. Otherwise, we would have been a\nproud nation in the world map by now. But our nation had the potential to be\nnation of such a glory in the world stage. Instead above presidents\nconstitution brought curse to our nation. The curse represented in many forms\nto our country and its beautiful people of Tamils &amp; Sinhalese. Some of them\nwere 30 years long civil war, fragile economy, cultural devastation. During his\ntime of ruling; Prof. Ediriweera Sarathchandra was attached with bicycle chains\nand dragged on the way, He falsely intervened to judiciary to abolished the\ncivil rights of world first lady premier Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranayake. So that\npolitician was a dictator to our motherland. I will not write down his name\nbecause he had done enormous tragedy to our beautiful country. The above person\non the stage publicly addressed what is the use of learning history of the\ncountry\u201d So the history subject was gradually removed from the books. Today\nhistory and anthropology are vital subject to learn because they are creative\nsubjects for new inventions. Apple computers hires engineers who learned\nhistory &amp; anthropology those people need for creativity &amp; inventions.\nSome of the people will agree with me of that rulers rule was disgusting, but\nothers will not, however that was the truth of his rule and legacy. Finally, he\ndied suffering from a simple cold. Over the past yahapalana government his follower\nRanil Wickramasinghe did the similar devastation to this country with his\ncolleague Maithree. Both the people must retire from politics of this country\nand they are already convicted on the people judiciary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19<sup>th<\/sup>\namendment created commissions and they have been boasting of that achievement.\nEven present day speaks of the value of those commissions. But those\ninstitutions useless if they failed to protect security of the country. The\npolice chief is held accountable for public security and he failed to deliver\nhis security obligations to public in his capacity as the police chief and he\nhimself had been in favor of politicians. The president cannot terminate his\nemployment due to commissions involvement. Justice ministers came out with\nstatistics the increasing numbers starting from year 2015. Doses the\ncommissions do anything to reduce the increasing numbers? Democracy is not a\ncompany for few favoured people of the country. Democracy should be for the\ndeserving people of this country. The commissions and 19<sup>th<\/sup> amendment\nwas unable to ensure the safety of this country. Ranil and the gang defending\neach other for power. I am aware Ranil created a parliamentary committee to\ninvestigate Pascu Sunday attach. It was a jolly good investigation to pass time\nand forgotten the incident and they did that way. What was the outcome? Just\nafter the meeting people in front of the committee of investigation those each\nother discussing and enjoying coffee in the back.What was the outcome of those\ncowards in this country? They have been playing games and enjoying the innocent\npeople deaths of the massacre. The investigation was a clear slap on the face\nof Cardianl Malcom Ranjith. People have seen those videos and So called\nFonseka, Ravi Karunanayake, A. Marasinghe was there with others. It was a\ncomplete joke for the people of this country. First of all most of those\nparliamentarians have been convicted in the peoples court doing crimes against\nthe humanity. Eg. Ravi karunanayake&nbsp; was\nin the committee as a member. Should he be in any committee of this country? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arjuna Ranatunga\nwants Ranil wrickramasinghe to be name as the national list member to current\nlegislative assembly. Arjuna Ranatunga want to be the leader of United National\nParty as well. I feel so sad about this person. He was a brilliant cricketer of\nour country. He brought big cricket win to our country. Sri Lankan people\nrespect him a lot as he was the only person who brought that prestige to our\nnation. There is no doubt about it. In those days he was a national hero t.\nThen he entered into politics. Mr. Ranatunga it was a mistake that he entered\ninto politics of this country. He needs to understand that he was fallen from a\ncliff and ruined his entire flushing respect he had earned from the people of\nthis country. Now he is nothing in this country. People who earned respect\ndoing some great performance better to stay and maintain that prestige and away\nfrom politics, which he or she doesn\u2019t know in depth. People of this country do\nhave a huge respect to our legendary Muttiah Mulidharan and please stay as the\nway you are right now and keep your earned respect and don\u2019t let it spoiled by\nentering into politics of this country. Same tragedy happen to Sanath\nJayasooriya. Arjuna Ranatunga never ever help to develop cricket in this\ncountry but he critisizied incidence with giving solutions. I believe if he\nstayed in cricket he would have been a great person in cricket world in this\ncountry as well as abroad. I thing he was not capable or he didn\u2019t have such a\nvibrant personality to be a veteran cricketer after all.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We urge the\ngovernment to implement 20<sup>th<\/sup> constitutional change and make the way\nto president to continue his work for the country<\/strong>. People of the country always\nbehind this government. Until the new constitution drafted; executive\npresidency is a must to this country to remove all the constitutional mockery\nto be removed which had been introduced by so called Yahapalana regime.\nYahapalanaya trying their best to convince people that they won democracy in this\ncountry through commissions and introduced a democracy nowhere in this world.\nBut it was not, simply it was a fake gang democracy in the country to satisfy\ncertain interested groups of the country and abroad. Dual citizenship is not a\nproblem to discuss anymore. There is nothing wrong having dual citizenship.\nMany civilized countries in the world accept dual citizenship and has achieved\nmuch development because of those people. For example I want to serve my\ncountry in my field of studies, which will be more beneficial to public. If I\ncould do that service that would have been outstanding to deserving people of\nthe country. General public will be benefited out that service in every where\nof the country. So when it comes to dual citizenship; it need to be find out\nintention of the personal. Most expatriate want to serve their motherland, and\nit will be much more progressive to our motherland. I do not understand Harsha\nde Siva so reluctant to dual citizenship. I personally unhappy of this person\nas he is not doing to the country out of his academics. He has become a cheap\npolitician in this country.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deforesting of\nwanathavilluwa hurts a lot as I am a person of loving and caring to forest\nreserves of the country<\/strong>. We have seen in our own eyes person called Abu\nBhakkar Insaffe a provincial politician bribing some media people when they\nactively making photos of the area. We have a minister and so many institutions\nto protect and nurture the nature but trees have been cut down and vandalized\nafter all has been done media public those pictures. It is heart breaking to\nsee all these, as they are going on with this president\u2019s government.<strong> We are\nquite worried of&nbsp; national forests\ndevastation. The ministerial intervention to protect them not adequate enough.<\/strong>\nThe person may be punished upon the investigation of cut down trees but with\nthe devastation; the contribution to ecological balanced will never be able to\nback to normal again. Please introduced heavy fines and life imprisonment for\necological damages of this country. Unfortunately, most of them done by\npoliticians of this country.&nbsp; These are\nheinous crimes to the country. If Wanathavilluwa forest reserve was protected\nand educated people the valued trees would have been protected. It would have\nbeen turn to a park of protected trees of scarce trees in world\u201d this could\nhave been the concept to earn money from tourist attraction and earn\nmoney.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media has surfaced\nthe huge deforestation pictures, and again 5 acres of land has been cut down?\nWho is responsible for these activities. The forest and wild life minister does\nmedia briefing to punish those people who are responsible. But Mr. Minister\nyour primary jobs is protect those forest reserves before cutting them\ndown.&nbsp; If you are the minister your prime\njob is to protect them. If you are unable to do so please resign from your job\nlet president to appoint a suitable person to the ministerial position. It is\nquite sad and you must be regret as the minister has been unable to protect\nthose valuable trees preventing cutting down. It seems like people need to take\na different approach to protect our forest reserves. The best way to protect\nthe forest reserves is organize community watch groups. If they were to find\nout information involving to cut down forest reserves they must complain\nmunicipalities &amp; police and the president. I know he is tough on issues of\nenvironment. Most information we hear through media quite difficult as most\nrare but expensive Burutha, Kaluwara trees have being cut down. I believe people\ninvolved into such big forest devastation is doing with the political help of\nthe Puttalam district. Please jail those criminals in life time imprisonment\nwithout a payroll. Sanath Nishantha Perera says the land which has been cut\ndown trees, E.G Burutha , palu , and Kaluwara belong to deserted and isolated\npiece of land. This person sometime ago fall into trouble with\nenvironmentalist, and the environmentalist lady came up very rightly against\nhim as he was defending the act of forest devastation. This person must be\naware when it come to environment; they are sensitive subjects to people. We\nknow this person is lying, and he is undermining the whole heart focused\nefforts of protection of the environment. The argument here is we accept right\nlive of people but we want accept cutting down trees of the environment and\nthen justifying the act of damaged caused by commenting false claims. The\nPrevious government Bathudeen did same to Wilpattu. This is bad as it is\nhappening again, and we are so unfortunate to experience the environment\ntragedy with this government as well. Please don\u2019t let forest reserves\ndevastation an incident of Water Gate\u201d to topple the present government of Sri\nLanka.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dharshana\nHaundungoda has a typical way of blog presentations. If he is criticizing the\ngovernment from his point of view; it has to be the view of the general public.\nOtherwise you will not be able to make a living through your presentations.\nLove your country, stand for the country when you criticize incidents or people.\nI remember your discussion with Ranil wickramasinghe, if you were to educate\npeople public and if you were a patriot of country; you could have ask a valid\nquestions, which always right to ask from Ranil Wickramsinghe. The question is\nthis. Do you think Hon. Ranil Wickramasinghe the decision to appoint Arjun\nMahendran as the governor of central bank was a correct decision in midst of a\nprotest? You could have dig into more question knowing more about him.\nUnfortunately, you never did it. If you want to make a living from media you\nneed to make sure to be patriot to your country and try to represent people\u2019s\nhonest feelings through media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ranil Maithree\nwickramasinghe government was not a single entity. There were many people &amp;\nparties belong to that rule. There were huge media journalist panel campaign\nparallel to support them. One of the key members of the group was the soft\nspoken Sarath Wijesooriya, Late Maduluwawe Sobitha, Gamini Weyangoda,\nJayampathi wickramaratna with Sumanthiran of constitution council for\nconstitutional change, NGO, Foreign ambassadors of this country, American\nEmbassy, etc. All of those were involved to that rule. They were campaigning\ndemocracy and rule &amp; discussions in media. The key people in those\ndiscussions were Mr. Janaranjana, Gamini Veyangoda. There was looming\ninstability through out the country Janaranjana, and Gamini Veyangoda, soft\nspoken Sarath Wijesooriya was trying to convince democracy they achieved over\nMahinda Rajapakse government. However, at the same time a huge influx of public\nat Madamulana, wanting them to come back Mahinda into politics in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political\ncommentator Chameera Perera at Dawasa program has promoted something which is\ndetrimental to our country. Chameera Perera belong to same&nbsp; &nbsp;members of the group with late Maduluwawe\nsobitha who tried to made Rotti\u201d by mobilizing the people against the\nRajapakse government. Keerthi Thennakoon alson was commenting against\nconstitutional change. I am surprised of these people are they working for the\npeople of this country or some others.<strong> People mandated the government to\ndo the change, and that change is inevitable.<\/strong> I want to highlight <strong>Roshan\nWatawala to promote good things happening in this government.&nbsp; Igniting and mobilizing public to an unknown\nfreedom is bad, that is not the good practice of media freedom. Please try to\nidentify good things happening in this government &amp; discuss that good\nactivity with a panel of expertise which will be more benefit to people of this\ncountry<\/strong>. <strong>Sri Lankan media institutions and their media personal need\nmore training<\/strong> <strong>on how to identify what is reporting, distinguish good\nreporting form bad. They always compete with other media channels to gain more\nratings only. The defense ministry and forces in full operational to counter\n&amp; eradicate underworld and drug business and its spreading in the country.\nJust to let everybody know; 3 decades ago when first heroin addicted person\nidentified the reporting was amazing. I do not remember the name of the\nreporter. But it was the most informative information to public as we were not\naware about habit forming drugs and their abuse. The reporter reported The\nseed has planted in a fertile soil so we need to be vigilant of its danger to\nthis country\u201d. Please understand how dangerous the underworld and drug use in\nthis country by now. The whole country is falling line with the government\neffort with unconditional support to eradicate the drug problem and underworld\nactivities in this beautiful country. Please report that everyday if you are\nfalling line with the pulse of the people of this country. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunil Yatalamatta Gamage\u00a0 Almost 41 years ago the first president of this country who had a long nose introduced a constitution which he boasted himself that he is capable to do anything in his power as the president, except converting man to a woman and women to man. he belong to present day demised UNP [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[171],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sunil-yatalamatta-gamage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106612\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
