A period smitten by an unfathomable human savagery by a group of Tamil terrorists ended with the emergence of a National Sinhala Buddhist leader without an equal in the past before 2005 \u00a0nor at least for a few decades to come \u00a0in the future.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That great national leader of great significance to Sri Lanka is Mahinda Rajapakse. He will remain so what ever his enemies with unclean hands\u00a0 and poisonous mouths are all out to implicate him for falsely invented crimes to make him unpopular amoung the people and perhaps take away his civic rights.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since the beginning of the Independence moment in Sri Lanka there had been traitors amoung the Sinhala political leaders, each hatching conspiracies against \u00a0rival leaders to take their place. Baron Jayatilleke they say should have been the first Prime Minister of Sri Lanka but it is said that when Sri Lanka was being considered by the Colonial \u00a0rulers for\u00a0 Independence, \u00a0they demanded the Sri Lankan National leaders\u00a0 to recommend one amoung them to be sent to India as the High Commissioner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sir D.B.Jayatilleke was the senior amoung them who would have been made the Prime Minister by the Colonial rulers. However, a group led by D.S.Senanayake who knew what was likely to happen \u00a0had proposed to the Colonial government that D.B.Jayatilleke \u00a0should be sent as the High Commissioner as\u00a0 it was a prestigious position and the most senior among them should be given the priviledge of representing Sri Lanka-then Ceylon jn India. D.B.Jayatilleke heart broken when he learnt of the treachery had \u00a0died in the plane which was taking him to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Therefore, it seems that back stabbing and throat cutting had been from the beginning \u00a0in the blood of\u00a0 some of the Sri Lankan politicians. Therefore\u00a0 the back stabbing of the great Sinhala National leader\u00a0 of our time Mahinda Rajapakse \u00a0by Maitripala Sirisena the General Secretary of the SLFP is not surprising.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But what is surprising is despite the most traitorous act committed against his own leader, Sirisena has the temerity to\u00a0 construe Buddhist teachings to “glorify” his misdeed.\u00a0 He says that he gave up without holding onto things and therefore\u00a0 got what he has as a result. (meaning he has given up being the General Secretary of the SLFP and got in return the office of the President of Sri Lanka)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Giving up” in Buddhist terms is to be generous\u00a0 without holding onto things\u00a0 through attachment (tanha). But in reality Maitripala\u00a0 was the worst individual with blind desire for power, who did not hesitate to stab his Leader in the back to take his place, falling into the trap laid by the worst enemies of the Nation. True to the tradition of treacherous politicians Maitripala Sirisena the President of Sri Lanka today \u00a0will for ever remain \u00a0a symbol of the politicians of that past.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The President Maitripala Sirisena can now rejoice in his triumph, but he cannot however much he tries escape from \u00a0the historic betrayal with which he is marked for life.\u00a0 Soon he will find that the ill gained “Crown” \u00a0on his head will be too heavy for him to wear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Tamils of Sri Lanka\u00a0 most ungrateful people as they are, despite their release within four years after the election of the President Mahinda Rajapakse in 2005 from their\u00a0 suffering\u00a0 and utter desperation under terrorism for thirty\u00a0 years voted massively this year against their saviour\u00a0 to elect the unknown Mr. Maitripala Sirisena.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps the Tamils who inflict suffering on themselves\u00a0 in the worship of their gods, cherished that intense suffering they went through when the North and East was under the control of terrorists, and their massive vote against the President Mahinda Rajapakse was for the elimination of terrorism under which they enjoyed \u00a0that mystic offer of suffering. In which case we hope that the Tamil diaspora and the TNA may let loose now what they lost under President Mahinda Rajapakse, with the auspicious of the new regime.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Muslims \u00a0well known for acting according to the\u00a0 way their fez cap turns were no better, with their habit of extracting the \u00a0best from one; and then \u00a0turn to another when they have hope of getting\u00a0 more from that other. The Muslims stand aside when others risk their lives, to gain from their efforts \u00a0without making any sacrifice themselves. The Muslims with the Tamils voted massively en block along with the Catholics to the opposition common candidate trusting to get what their leaders demanded in secret agreements, and see the defeat of Mahinda Rajapakse despite his contribution to modernise the North and East<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This time the Sinhala Buddhists failed in their duty, allowing the minorities to appoint a presidential candidate favourable to them , rejecting a Sinhala Buddhist National leader who did \u00a0not budge an inch to give into separatist politics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The new political epoch that began with the defeat of the President Mahinda Rajapakse \u00a0has shown the colour under which it would rein.\u00a0 The victors begin first by vilification, accusations, and\u00a0 demonising the leaders they vanquished . No proof is needed for vengeance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In law a person is innocent until proved guilty, but today under the maitri yugaya\u00a0 they accuse the President Mahinda Rajapakse and his government for \u00a0all types of \u00a0imagined acts of corruption and a planned \u00a0\u00a0military take over.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The supporters of the\u00a0 Government of\u00a0 Mithripala-Ranil-Chandrika have pasted slogans to hail the dawn of\u00a0 a Regime of\u00a0 love after a Regime of hatred ( vairee palaneyen\u00a0 Maitri palanayakata)\u00a0 But the Regime of hatred as labelled\u00a0 by the \u00a0supporters of the President Maitripla Sirisena , \u00a0triumphed against the terrorists, demanding sternly the foreign governments \u00a0to keep away from interfering. President Mahinda Rajapakse brought to the people of Sri Lanka the Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim peace and security above everything else.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This regime of hatred as the Mailtripala supporters call it, did not stop after eliminating the terrorist, but continued to develop the \u00a0country to make it a\u00a0 middle income country, carried out \u00a0unprecedented infra structure development,\u00a0 provided\u00a0 facilities for education, transport , communication, health and agriculture within a short period of four years\u00a0 after elimination of terrorism.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More significantly in contrast to the regime of love of Maitripala-Ranil and Chandrika which has turned out to be a regime of revenge , the regime of hatred of yesterday did not seek to take revenge from the opposition political parties.\u00a0 The Government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse did not\u00a0 investigate the \u00a0high handed activities of the UNP Government under JR who forced the MPs to vote to include the 13A into the Sri Lanka Constitution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Government of the president Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 did not investigate \u00a0into Ranasinghe Premadasa’s\u00a0 involvement in the organisation of torture camps where many a thousand of youth were murdered, and the\u00a0 presentation of arms and ammunition to terrorists.\u00a0 Nor did the\u00a0 Regime of the President\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse \u00a0seek to investigate into the involvement of\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe in Batalanda torture camps, or investigate the involvement of Anura Dissanayake, Handunetty\u00a0 and the rest of the JVP in the murders and assassinations carried out by them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nor did the government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse seek to investigate sale of public enterprises to private companies or individuals and other fraudulant activities of Ravi Karunnayake.\u00a0 The case against Ravi Karunanayake for terrorist money laundering is pending,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 was \u00a0not demanding investigations into \u00a0Karu Jayasuriy’s illegal contracts signed with Agrakko Ltd in 2000 when he was a Ministers of the Government of Ranil Wickramasinghe , nor did the government investigated into the Water’s edge land deal of Chandrika\u00a0 Kumaratunga.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More serious\u00a0 were Ranil Wickramasinghe’s\u00a0 raid on the Millennium house, and his signing the CFA with the terrorist leader Prabhakaran.\u00a0 On the latter issue of the signing of the CFA, Chandrika Kumaratunga is answerable to the people for not having stopped it using her\u00a0 executive powers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If Maitripala Sirisena’s yahapalanaya\u00a0 or good governance has any meaning\u00a0 he has to more seriously consider all past crimes and frauds committed by the previous governments and Presidents which are far more serious than the false accusations being levelled at the Government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse and his entourage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Chief Prosecutor of\u00a0 the Government of Maitripala Sirisena is \u00a0Champika Ranawaka who assisted by\u00a0 JVP\u00a0 notorious for their\u00a0 criminal activities.\u00a0 Champika Ranawaka who said he knew \u00a0of the coal deal pointed out by Pavitra Wanniaratchi in the Parliament, did not say why he failed to include it\u00a0 in his book\u00a0 giving details of corruption in the \u00a0Electricity Board.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This new government of President Maitripala Sirisena hailed as a regime of good governance and love has turned out to be a machine churning out hatred seeking to take revenge from the President Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0 However, it appears that the President Maitripala Sirisena has become a\u00a0 sort of a “prisoner”\u00a0 of those who came together to put up a Common opposition Presidential Candidate \u00a0against the President Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
President\u00a0 Maithripala Sirisena is\u00a0 neither able to use his executive powers\u00a0 nor is he able to impose his Presidential authority on the members of his cabinet, who speak out to display their venomous hatred.\u00a0 The 100 day Cabinet consists of persons burning \u00a0with anger and none of them seem to have done any work so far to carry forward development\u00a0 work of the country, engaging \u00a0themselves more on issuing vituperations\u00a0 on every aspect of\u00a0 the governance under President Mahinda Rajapakse as if \u00a0he has done nothing progressive to Sri Lanka since his election in 2005.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Accusing President Mahinda Rajapakse against his family involvement in the Government Chandrika Kumaratunga seems to be promoting her son Vimutti to bring him into politics from the Gampaha electorate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The UNP which accused the previous government for controlling the media is today not only controlling the media but also the police and the Army, and planning to take over the Judiciary by bringing back the once impeached CJ Shirani Bandaranayake.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is unfortunate for the President Maitripala Sirisena that his Prime Minister and the majority of the members of his cabinet are \u00a0from the UNP as\u00a0 what they promote is not a Maitri palanaya\u00a0 but a vindictive bhishana palanaya putting their goons on the road protesting against taking into his cabinet former members of the government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse. Mangala Samaraweera\u00a0 has nothing but hatred in his veins and accuses the President Mahinda Rajapakse for planning a military plot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Never in the political history of Sri Lanka since 1948 a UNP government has brought progress\u00a0 and\u00a0 security to the country.\u00a0 It\u00a0 would be therefore\u00a0 beneficial to the country and the people if sanity is made to prevail by the President Maitripala Sirisena by speaking out to put some order into the present behaviour of his Ministers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If there had been frauds, misappropriations and even attempts for a military take over, those allegations\u00a0 should be \u00a0properly investigated without crying out from house tops the suspicions of such activities without any proof; and before the appropriate authorities have investigated into them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
