Ratanapala<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>26 July 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

A simple win is not enough. What the country needs is a massive win for Mahinda Rajapakse. Sinhala Buddhists\u00a0 only can, do this, in the first place. It is they who can realize the clear and present danger to the unity and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka as well as for the security of the country in the immediate future and in the coming years.<\/p>\n

For this reason all who are of voting age from youngsters to the elderly should make it a point to go to the polling stations and vote for Mahinda Rajapakse on 17 Aug.\u00a0 This way \u00a0the voting percentage must increase from what it was on 8 Jan to much higher figure nearing one hundred percent if need be. It is a must for all those who voted against Mahinda Rajapakse believing in all the mud slinging, to compulsorily go and correct their mistake on 17 August by voting for Mahinda Rajapakse. They would do a favour if at least some could come on Mahinda platforms and make their confessions. This will encourage\u00a0 others to emulate them and at least go to the polling station and do their confession in silent by voting for Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0 Those who did not vote on 8 Jan and will not vote on 17 Aug will have to repent for the rest of their lives for not doing their duty by their motherland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the second place the minorities should realise that they will be able live and prosper in the island of Sri Lanka from Point Pedro in the North to the Dondra heads in the South only by coexisting with the Sinhalese. Sinhalese have not practiced the kind of Apartheid that is practiced in the North and in smaller enclaves dotted around the country where Sharia law is practiced. . Sinhalese have not declared a Bhoomi Putra doctrine to deprive rights to minorities. Therefore it is in their best interest to come and vote for a strong Sinhala Buddhist led stable government led by Mahinda Rajapakse than to a Christian led Western friendly government led by serial looser and mega fraudster – Ranil Wickramasinghe. This aspect was clearly stated by a far sighted Muslim gentlemen at the Mahinda Rajapakse rally held at Kurunegala.\u00a0 I believe he has lived and prospered among the Sinhala Buddhists and understand the live and let live doctrine so profoundly enunciated by Lord Buddha.<\/p>\n

A stable government will see that Sri Lanka prosper in the years ahead. There is much to be shared in the commonwealth of Sri Lanka. It is a win-win situation for all Sinhala, Tamils and Muslims, rather than for a few that favor enclaves feeding on the unsuspecting majority nation of the country. Those who favor division, dismemberment and balkanization of Sri Lanka will see that they will be the ultimate losers while taking Sri Lanka in the same direction that the country had been up to 2005 and later after 8 Jan 2015.\u00a0 While all other countries in the South East Asia prospered, Sri Lanka was left in the doldrums mainly because of sabotage by the minorities who were intent of the division of the country for their selfish racist and religious interests. These manifestations are easily seen in the actions of Rishad Badiuddeen and Rauf Hakeem who are hell bent on carving out Jihadist enclaves in different parts of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 On the other hand the Racist Tamils parties are intent on having their own patch of land as an ethnically cleansed area whilst retaining the right to live, work and prosper in the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

No country can prosper when the majority is left as bystanders.\u00a0 This was the lot of the Sinhala Buddhists since Independence from the British and even before going back to latter 19th<\/sup> Century.\u00a0 No country can prosper if the minorities become parasites feeding on the political and cultural space of the majority.<\/p>\n

Mahinda Rajapakse has laid the foundation by initiating to lay the necessary infrastructure for the nation and he will continue to do so in the future. \u00a0He valiant attempts to open up the country with major roads, utility projects, country wide electrification are seen with jaundiced eyes by the separatists and jihadists. This can happen only if he is given a clear victory at the coming parliamentary elections on 17 August. This will enable him \u00a0run a trouble free administration. There is much to be done in the future.<\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka there are no private enterprises capable of funding and carrying out mega infrastructure projects. This is the reason in Sri Lanka and in many other similar countries, this type of work that has long payback periods are only handled by Governments.\u00a0 The electrical energy needs are almost complete and country electrification is nearing completion.<\/p>\n

So far the UNP and former SLFP governments were only intent on feeding bellies and thus vote grabbing. It is commonly known that it is far better to teach someone to fish rather than give fish to consume. Once the necessary infrastructure has been laid it is up to the nation to pitch in and do the needful to make the country prosperous. Waiting for the government to spoon-feed should stop and people must become responsible citizens by themselves.<\/p>\n

The hijacked government that was formed after 8 Jan had enough opportunities even as a ruse and to hoodwink the electorate, carry out a blameless and exemplary interim government. To begin with they failed by appointing a major Christian Administration. The likes of Christian Ranil, Catholic John Amaratunge as the Ministry of the Interior, Catholic Ravi Karunanayagm as the Finance Minister, Born Again Rosie Senanayake as the Minister in Charge of Children Affairs \u2013 (Jesu Pihitai Ape podi ewunta!) Evangelist Eran Wickramaratne showed how representative the new administration is? With this lot the Sinhala Buddhist nation is similar to a chicken coop protected by skulk of foxes.<\/p>\n

They failed by being involved in the biggest financial fraud Sri Lanka has seen since Independence.\u00a0 Their blatant attempts to hide the truth have convinced the intelligent electors of the guilt of Ranil Wickramasinghe in aiding and abetting of this fraud. They failed by stopping all the development activity and initiating kangaroo courts looking for \u2018frauds\u2019 , but could only find petite frauds or none at all. They failed by not allowing mega projects such as Major Road works, Port City project etc to go ahead while investigations for alleged malpractice are carried out. They failed by denying the financial viability of all minor contractors and subcontractors\u00a0 and all those who depended on them for a living. They failed reduce the cost of living as promised ; most election promises remain unfulfilled and the intelligent electorate is now convinced that they are only \u2018election promises\u2019 \u2013 similar to rice from the moon.<\/p>\n

Mahinda Rajapakse has learnt the lessons of 8 Jan and is now poised to run an effective administration with the able assistance of his brother – Gotabhaya Rajapakse. We hope and pray that the war hero Gotabhaya will once again come to lead the Defence Establishment and provide the necessary security for the nation that is a sine quoi non for future prosperity of our island nation.<\/p>\n

I repeat:<\/p>\n

All those who are of voting age from young men and women to the elderly should make it a point to go to the polling stations and vote for Mahinda Rajapakse on 17 Aug.\u00a0 This way\u00a0 the voting percentage must increase from what it was on 8 Jan to much higher figure nearing one hundred percent if need be. It is a must for all those who voted against Mahinda Rajapakse believing in all the mud slinging, to compulsorily go and correct their mistake on 17 August by voting for Mahinda Rajapakse. They would do a favour if at least some could come on Mahinda platforms and make their confessions. This will encourage\u00a0 others to emulate them and at least go to the polling station and do their confession in silent by voting for Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0 Those who did not vote on 8 Jan and will not vote on 17 Aug will have to repent for the rest of their lives for not doing their duty by their motherland. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Failure to do so will bring another Portuguese Era to our Motherland and an end to the Sinhala Buddhist civilization that we so painstakingly protected for over 2600 years. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
