It was very clear from the time of the dissolution of the Parliament and end of the Government run by a minority party leader Ranil Wickramsinghe, the President Sirusena was compelled by the masses to taken various steps contrary to his conviction and the agenda of his Western and Indian masters.<\/p>\n

The latest episode in the series of attempts by President Sirisena to marginalize the expectations of the masses is the statement issued by him to indicate he will be the final decision maker in appointing the Prime Minister in the coming Parliament as the President of the SLFP and the joint front. But, it has to be mentioned that ultimately the country\u2019s voters will decide who the leader of the SLFP and the joint front and the two entities will have the power to change the Presidency of the party.<\/p>\n

The public \u00a0should expect more of these statements by the President Sirisena in the coming days as per the agenda of the West, India and the pro-LTTE fronts in his futile efforts to de-rail the election campaign of the nationalist forces. But, the nationalist forces should clearly explain the sources and the objective of the President\u2019s plan to the masses and also reiterate that the sabotage planned will be aimed at the unitary Sri Lanka and against Mahinda Rajapakese who provided the dauntless leadership in defeating the Tamil Tigers<\/p>\n

The questionable fa\u00e7ade of good governance by Sirisena- Ranil administration was exposed by the introduction of draconian law to persecute political opponents, evading three no confidence motions and central bank treasury bills robbery during the short span of nearly 150 days. It was like the pot calling the kettle black! However much the attempts made to<\/p>\n

blacken the image of Mahinda Rajapakse who lead Sri Lanka to the victory against the most brutal terrorist group and ushered in a period of peace including paving the way to an unparalleled economic development of the nation, the masses have no forgotten the days of Chandrika\u2019s and Ranil\u2019s rule when they faced death at the hands of terrorists almost every day..<\/p>\n

It is within a unitary Sri Lanka the country can prosper. When one listens to the tales of misery, death and destruction from the countries which are Balkanized only one can realize the importance of a unitary country and why we should strive to protect it.<\/p>\n

In spite of President Sirisena\u2019s foul play, the masses and the nationalist forces must carry this message to all corners of Sri Lanka and expose and condemn President Sirisena\u2019s crude tactics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
