By Charles .S.Perera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe\u2019s father\u00a0 Esmond Wickramasinghe was a Christian his paternal uncle\u00a0 Lakshman Wickramasinghe was the Bishop of the Church of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 He is a hypocrite to pretend he is a Buddhist for political vote baiting. He once said he wanted \u00a0to build the Largest Buddhist Dagoba.\u00a0 He is ignorant of some Buddhist matters but, the truths and facts matter little to him. Once at a meeting in Kantale he had referred to relics of the Buddha from Kapilavattu as relics of Venerable Sariputta and Moggallana.<\/p>\n

Thus, his efforts to reach out to the Sinhala Buddhist masses have been many. Yet, simply pulling out a Parakramabahu promised era, giving promises that are unlikely to be honored in the form of building the largest Buddhist dagoba, or teaching Buddhist monks Pali and spread Buddhism side by side with dressing up farmers in jeans or Nike t-shirts is likely to head for repeated failure\u201d.\u00a0(Shenali D Waduge \u2013lankaweb.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe speaking at the 55 Convention of the UNP\u00a0 compared\u00a0 President Mahinda Rajapakse to King Ajatasatru, He stated that Ajatasatru, a king of the Magadha empire in ancient north India, had resorted to creating tensions within the democratic Vaishali Republic in order to conquer it and that the Rajapaksa government is engaging in the same tactic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe has a problem in looking forward and take Sri Lanka progressively forward.\u00a0 He is a backward looking man not suitable to be the Prime Minister of\u00a0 a developing Sri Lanka. In hundred days he was able with his UNP Cabinet of Ministers to take Sri Lanka many years backward. He has no vision for the future therefore\u00a0 goes back in time to ancient India he says \u00a0to emulate the dignified tradition of Lichchavi Kings.<\/p>\n

Some how he has got the idea that\u00a0 there is some thing called Theravada, and now he wants to make Sri Lanka a Centre of Theravada Buddhism.\u00a0 That makes one wonder what Buddhism Sri Lanka had for the last 2300 years, for Ranil Wickramasinghe to make Sri Lanka the centre of Theravada Buddhism.\u00a0 He of course leaves out the very Buddhist Maithripala Sirisena out of the political scene and announces that \u00a0after the 17 August he will hold a Buddhists Council of Theravada Buddhism.\u00a0 Do we need a Christian to organise a Buddhist Council ?<\/p>\n

He said “\u2026.The current UNP led United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) and the next which would be a certainty, will do its utmost to preserve Theravada Buddhism, the Prime Minister stressed, urging the Mahanayake Theras of the four Chapters to take the lead in not only propagating but also preserving the goodness of their philosophy as ancient rulers such as Emperor Asoka had done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier he had stated\u00a0 about the three Buddhist Nikayas as Nasthi Nikaya,\u00a0 Vancha Nikaya and Dhushana Nikaya.\u00a0 Ofcourse Ranil is paving the path for Nirvana of the Maha Nayakas by cleaning \u00a0the three Nikayas of Nasthi, Vancha and Dushanaya.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe also promises to build a new country in 60 months according the principle of\u00a0 non-violence of Gandhi and his follower Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n

Now he has found another accusation to \u00a0attack the former President Mahinda Rajapakse \u00a0after having slandered him about corruption. Ranil says that MahindaRajapakse had given Rs. 200 Million to \u00a0the terrorist leader Prabhakaran every now and then \u00a0to assure his and his families safety.\u00a0 Apparently from what he said at Gampaha, Prabhakaran had himself \u00a0informed Ranil anbout it. That means he had been in close contact with Prabhakaran..<\/p>\n

However, there is\u00a0 another information that Ranil Wickramasinghe is trying to hide behind his unsubstantiated accusation against Mahinda Rajapakse, which is that Ranil \u00a0had a secret agreement with Prabhakaran to\u00a0 expose the Special Army Unit of the Athurugiriya Millenium city.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0It is apparent that one of the matters of the secret agreement Mr. Rail Wickremasinghe had with tiger organization before the General Election was to expose this special Army unit and destroy it. Accordingly, after Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe came to power he employed a treacherous police officer and several others to fulfil the promise he had given to tiger terrorists. It is none other than this great betrayal of Athurugiriya. http:\/\/sftruth2010.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/arrest-ranil-wickramasinghe.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is now raving mad and says\u00a0 any thing to diabolize Mahinda Rajapakse, hoping \u00a0the voters will swallow all that<\/em>\u00a0bait, hook, line, and sinker. The UNP diehards may fall for his monotonous somniloquy but not the intelligent Sinhala voters.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe and his companion parliamentary candidates who have selected the elephant symbol,\u00a0 try to minimise the importance of\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s elimination of terrorism. It may be possible to erase it from the rotten minds of UNP members and others who have accepted the Elephant Symbol for a political come back but not from the minds of grateful people of Sri Lanka. That great achievement of Mahinda Rajapakse is written in large letters in the pages of the \u00a0history of Sri Lanka for ever. The UNP \u00a0from 1948 to 2009 has failed to achieve such great heights.<\/p>\n

But there is some thing Ranil Wickramasinghe is trying to hide while slandering and mudslinging at Mahinda Rajapakse, which is the Batalanda affair in which Ranil Wickramasinghe is\u00a0 buried up to his neck.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Batalanda detention center<\/h3>\n

It was alleged by the\u00a0People’s Alliance<\/a>\u00a0government that Wickremesinghe, then a Minister, was the political authority behind an illegal detention centre in the Batalanda housing and industrial complex outside Colombo between 1988 and 1990 which was allegedly run by a government-backed counter-subversive unit as part of the state’s operation to put down an\u00a0armed insurgency by the JVP<\/a>.\u00a0 The People’s Alliance government of<\/p>\n

President\u00a0Chandrika Kumaratunga<\/a>, appointed a “Special Presidential Commission of Inquiry Act” to investigate activities of Batalanda and on 3 September 1997 Wickremesinghe was summoned to testify before the commission. The commissions report was released on 12 April 1998.\u00a0The commission which was a fact-finding mission and had no judicial powers, however it recommended to the government to “bring the guilty to book”. One of its findings was that “Wickremesinghe and the SSP Nalin Delgoda, are indirectly responsible for the maintenance of places of unlawful detention and torture chambers in houses at the Batalanda Housing Scheme”. It further stated that Wickremesinghe held “unauthorised meetings of police officers involved in counter-insurgency operations in the housing complex, and that as such, he had abused his authority”.\u00a0No criminal proceedings took pace thereafter.<\/p>\n

Allegations on conspiring against Gamini Dissanayake<\/h3>\n

On August 2012, Minister of Health and\u00a0SLFP<\/a>\u00a0general secretary\u00a0Maithripala Sirisena<\/a>\u00a0alleged that during the\u00a01994 presidential election<\/a>\u00a0campaign, all campaign details concerning the UNP presidential candidate\u00a0Gamini Dissanayake<\/a>\u00a0were being secretly passed on to his opponent,\u00a0Chandrika Kumaratunga<\/a>\u00a0by Wickremesinghe. Minister Sirisena made this disclosure while addressing an election committee meeting held at Siripura, Polonnaruwa. Sirisena asserted that he has ample proof to validate his claim and allegations. Consequently, both parties started to challenge each other for open media debates.<\/p>\n

Allegation on “dictatorial behavior” in the party<\/h3>\n

Wickremesinghe was accused of being a dictator as the leader of\u00a0UNP<\/a>.\u00a0The Mahanayaka of the Asgiri Chapter the Most Venerable Udugama Sri Buddharakkhitha Thero once has said that since recently the Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremasinghe is acting like a dictator.\u00a0On 2010, UNP MP\u00a0Dayasiri Jayasekara<\/a>\u00a0accused in that within the constitution of the UNP Ranil Wickremasinghe is not a democratic leader but a dictator.\u00a0Former minister and UNP MP\u00a0Mahinda Wijesekara<\/a>\u00a0accused that “We don’t need a dictator in the party” as Wickremesinghe opposed for the party reforms. (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ranil_Wickremesinghe<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This is the man now seeking election to set up Good Governance. Sri Lankd does not need him any more as a Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 Within 180 days he showed how he dismantled every thing that was built within four years after eliminating\u00a0 terrorism and a 30 year old war by Mahinda Rajapaksa.<\/p>\n

If we are to rebuild\u00a0 Sri Lanka and go forward for peace, security and economic development we need a sincere, religious, practical and \u00a0down-to-earth man with a vision for the development of Sri Lanka for all Communities to live together in peace.\u00a0 That man is none other than Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Sri Lanka needs no Yahapalanaya- it is utter hypocrisy to expect Yahapalanaya, by any one around Ranil Wickramasinghe.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka wants a government to carry on the development that was stopped on the 9 January,2015.\u00a0\u00a0 Ranil Wickramaasinghe with his Yahapalanaya has failed miserably to give Sri Lanka and its people what they were looking forward to-peace, security, real development, unity of the people and a real change in the cost and standard of living.\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe leads a set of failed politicians.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe, Chandrika Kumaratunga and the rest of his cohorts\u00a0 cannot give the\u00a0 people Yahapalanaya to which they are only paying lip service. Ranil Wickramasinghe is already paving the way to make Sri Lanka a pawn in the hands of America and India.\u00a0 America or the west will never help Sri Lanka develop independently.\u00a0 Theirre aid will be conditional and they will always interfere into the internal affairs of the Country.\u00a0 But China gave Sri Lanka more aid but never interfered into the internal affairs of the country.<\/p>\n

India had always been and continue to be the greatest danger to Sri Lanka and Ranil Wickramasinghe\u00a0 is not concerned\u00a0 with the danger coming from India.\u00a0 India has already commenced from their side the construction of a bridge that is going to connect India and Sri Lanka.\u00a0 This has to be stopped at all cost as it will affect the independence and sovereignty of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

On the 17the August the Sinhala voters as well as the \u00a0intelligent voters of the other Communities, should think carefully before they go to vote. They should not vote for a change-a WENASA as they did last time.\u00a0 They should deliberately vote for UPFA and the SLFP to bring Mahinda Rajapakse back as the Prime Minister.\u00a0 There should be at least 117 seats in the parliament for the UPFA and the SLFP to bring back Mahinda rajapakse as the Prime Minister<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Therefore please do not hesitate to vote for the candidates\u00a0 with the betel leaf as the\u00a0 party symbol, and bring back Mahinda Rajapakse. Please take the message every where and do every thing possible to stop the UNP and their followers contesting under the elephant symbol coming \u00a0to power.<\/p>\n

A vote to JVP is also a wasted vote as JVP is a party that stops progress, by being critical of every thing without concern to the development of the country, their only concern is to destabilise \u00a0\u00a0with a view to grab power for them selves in future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
