New York Times article \u2013 Humiliating Sri Lanka\u2019s National Flag!<\/p>\n

This is an outrageous act by a nincompoop who should be taken to task according to American Law. President Sirisena should instruct the Sri Lankan Ambassador Washington to take appropriate action.<\/p>\n

As a predominantly Buddhist country, Sri Lanka will not act in the same manner as Islam Fundamentalist, in France or Netherlands, but action according to the local law is the least Sri Lankan government might impose upon.<\/p>\n

Following several very educational debates on LankaWeb, I beg to enquire from the Readers & Writers, the following question-;<\/p>\n

“Should President Sirisena is assassinated (I sincerely hope not) before the Parliamentary elections, in the absence of Vice-President, who would be the legal replacement, until subsequent Presidential elections?<\/p>\n

Would it be Ranil Wickramasinghe – Prime Minister, or Chief Justice K Sripavan, an ethnic-Tamil?”<\/p>\n

With current open borders, free movement, rapid reactions from within the resurging Tamil Terrorist LTTE, and reductions in security, for the sake of Sinhela Nation, this possibility should be prevented at all costs!<\/p>\n

Those LankaWeb subscribers who doubt or question my loyalties, let me re-iterate. I have supported ex-President Rajapaksa and GR for their patriotic dedication in destroying the Terrorist vermin of LTTE. However, I have also denounced the activity of flamboyant Namal Rajapakse, as well as the rampant corruption within the Rajapakse family dominance. I respect the majority verdict of the electorate.<\/p>\n

From the articles published in LankaWeb and other media, I note that the New Administration of President Sirisena has started an exhaustive Spring Cleaning Campaign. Like several readers pointed out, that the past record of President Sirisena and his family cohorts, is not that clean. But as said in the Chronicles, “To Catch a Thief – Appoint a Thief”. (With no disrespect to President Sirisens.<\/p>\n

Now Sri Lankan farmers have empowered a Fox (with a blemished record) to clean the Chicken farm, following the previous Fox who got routed by the farmers.<\/p>\n

This Sri Lankan Saga, is much better than some of the Soap Opera on TV!<\/p>\n
