In March of 2010 I said,<\/p>\n

<\/em>Sri Lanka is at historical crossroads; and has reached to a critical juncture in her entire history of two and a half millennia. Opening up a new politico-economic and a military chapter, radically severing the dependency on the west, Sri Lanka has taken a far-reaching twist in the course of its history toward a new destiny. Sri Lanka had no alternatives or no return; its merciless adversaries had cornered her to the wall. But she struck back from dustbin of the history to the center page.\u00a0 However, let the history decide many things we witness today.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

But however the events in recent history have proved that the stage for this epochal moment I anticipated was not rested in 2010, but in 2015- half a decade later. The emergence of Nugegoda Man<\/strong> has marked that epochal moment of the history of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest legends and chronicles of the island nation says that a great prince by the name DIYASENA will be born 2500 years after the birth of Lord Buddha to save the nation from its enemies, preserve culture and the religion of the nation. No doubt, people must be wondering if this \u2018Nugegoda Man\u2019 is their legendary hero Diyasena they expected to arrive after two millennia, who comes without their anticipation, to save the nation from its abysmal political mess, which is now sliding down into complete obliteration and ruin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, it is a historical necessity and obligation to register Nugegoda movement as a new political organization, by the exact name NUGEGODA MAN\u201d<\/strong> (Thanks to H.L. D. Mahindapala for coining this equally poetic name for this history making movement)<\/p>\n

Nugegoda Man (NM) must open headquarters and regional offices immediately in the same manner like revolutionary parties do, for example like the way Paris-Commune or the Bolsheviks did. This politically innovative activist group, NUGEGODA MAN must be an umbrella for all party members to come and join and work for the national cause it stands for.<\/p>\n

Individuals who support the cause of NM with necessary credentials, must establish a TV channel and a newspaper. The activists must canvas and sell newspapers and media communiqu\u00e9s in every town and village like Gandhians did in India and Calvinists did in reformation and must establish direct eye-to-eye contact with people.<\/p>\n

All grassroots level SLFP supporters, MEP and JNP even UNP supporters must be called to rally around it. They must call other political party members to join it to repeal 13th and take every necessary actions to bring permanent peace to our motherland. Provincial council members and Pradesheeya Sabha members of all parties must comprehensively be briefed of the cause and must be mobilized. Nugegoda Man must work for a common political cause and others must be able to see the difference between NUGEGODA MAN and other existing political parties.<\/p>\n

However, NM needs to establish some modern means of communication with people in order to counter balance the media monopoly that Ranil clan enjoys now. One way to shatter this media field-day of Ranil is to call for a boycott of major newspapers and news channels that which publish unsubstantiated allegations singing hosannas for Runil and his forty thieves.<\/p>\n

Regardless, MR must have had established some TV channels and newspapers coaxing some of his friends when he was in power. Regrettably his advisers must have been busy with other things so they have forgotten the essentials of politics in the similar manner they had neglected many other vital things. But Ranil had his channels and newspapers to cry for his mumbo-jumbo even during climax of MR\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

However this call to boycott newspapers must begin with the Nugegoda man\u2019s regional meetings that are planning to have; and must loudly declare that in the event of inevitable arrival of Nugegoda man back into the saddle, those who published unsubstantiated allegations in electronic and print media will be dealt accordingly enacting all the laws of the land.<\/p>\n

Let NUGEGODA MAN\u201d fulfill the legendary role of PRINCE DIYASENA!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
