He would do any thing for his own long term plan to be the President of Sri Lanka in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In 2002 Ranil Wickramasinghe signed the CFA without consulting either the then President Chandrika Kumaratunga or the Parliament .\u00a0 It was an affair between him and Prabhakaran with the intermediary of Eric Solheim. But Chandrika Kumaratunga had some guts to remove Ranil Wickramasinghe by taking over \u00a0three Ministries.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil Wickramasinghe has re-enacted his betrayal of the country once again \u00a0by sponsoring USA Resolution in Geneva without consulting either the President Maithripala Sirisena or the Parliament. But Maithripala Sirisena\u2019s plan being to destroy the Rajapakses, is least concerned with the outcome of the Geneva resolution. Ignorance being bliss Maithripala Sirisena is quite satisfied with whatever action of his Prime Minister for whom he is grateful for providing him with the seat of President.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil wants to be the boss. For Ranil, \u00a0Sirisena is only the President in name.\u00a0 The functions of \u00a0the Government and redirection of the country to adhere to Western Agenda, have been taken over by him. He acted similarly with Chandrika Kumaratunga when he was her Prime Minister.\u00a0 At that time when \u00a0he was meeting with George W.Bush in the White House, Chandrika removed him from office.\u00a0 Unfortunately before that he had \u00a0signed the disastrous \u00a0CFA which opened the country for the destructive \u00a0terrorism, and the assassination of Lakshman Kadirgamar which \u00a0was also the result of the signing of the CFA with the terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil Wickramasinghe lives with this desire to become the President since he lost being the Leader of the Opposition to Gamini Dissanayake\u00a0 in 1994 a more popular UNP leader. Late Mr.Gamini Dissanayake was assassinated\u00a0 under doubtful circumstances of an involvement of someone politically close to him.<\/p>\n<p>When Ranil Wickramasinghe signed the CFA, there was an immediate sense of a peaceful period . Tourism increased.\u00a0 A9 highway was opened upto Kilinochchi . But, a sense of foreboding and disaster was in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Today \u00a0in 2015, after Ranil Wickramasinghe sponsored the evil Geneva Resolution, while \u00a0apparent satisfaction is shown by the UNP Parliamentarians, Maithripala Sirisena and a section of the self-interested individuals who do not understand the implications in the Geneva Report, the same\u00a0 sense of foreboding that existed when Ranil Signed the CFA\u00a0 is already in the air.\u00a0 It could only be avoided if Maithripla Sirisena comes to sense like Chandrika Kumaratunga at that time and does what she did.<\/p>\n<p>In July, 2002 when Ranil met George W Bush the selfsame UNP and its supporters thought that everything was going to be fine, secure, and fruitful\u00a0 with America and the West on their side. But America\u2019s friendship is superficial only up to a point and USA will never go all out to help Sri Lanka rise above underdevelopment.<\/p>\n<p>J.R.Jayawardhane who was of the same opinion that American friendship would strengthen Sri Lanka\u2019s development and security, learnt his lesson, when India flew into Sri Lanka airspace to drop dry ration to terrorists and forced him to sign the Indo Sri Lanka pact, America was nowhere to help JR Jayawardhana, America only asked him to settle matters with India.<\/p>\n<p>Maithripala Sirisena does not understand what is going on in the minds of Ranil Wickramasinghe and his UNP coterie. Sirisena is only happy as long as he is left alone and Ranil does the work.\u00a0\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe and the UNP Ministers\u00a0 have plans for themselves and not for the country. Ranil wants Rajapaksas removed from the political field so that path will be clear for him in 2020 to be the President. All his actions seem to be with that idea foremost in his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil Wickramaasinghe had absolutely no reason to sponsor the USA Resolution with the UNReport in Geneva if it is not for him \u00a0to be in the best terms with America and have its support to realise his dream of becoming the President of Sri Lanka himself.\u00a0 He is different from other Sri Lanka national leaders .\u00a0 Ranil imbibes the West to the extent of being a coat and tie\u00a0 Sahib to be adulated by the west and sit with them like one of them. He is after all a remnant of the brown sahibs class\u00a0 of\u00a0 D.S.Senanayake clan that took over the ruling of the Independent Sri Lanka in 1948.<\/p>\n<p>Hybrid Courts or International Courts does not matter much to him, as long as he can settle a problem in whatever way possible. For Ranil the end result matters not how one arrives at it. The disasters that may follow his decisions do not seem to bother him much. Matters of National interest that should be kept secret and confidential are not safe under Ranil Wickramasinghe.\u00a0 His Milinium city affair ended\u00a0 in utter disaster. Now it is the existence of bunkers and Avantguard affairs .\u00a0 These are also matters that should be kept as matters of national importance without bandying their existence. But does he or his UNP coterie cares a least about it ?<\/p>\n<p>Maithripla Sirisena is unimaginative. He may be intelligent to promote himself, but he is not a wise leader.\u00a0 He does not seem to know that he is being manipulated. Betraying a friend and one time leader is different, but going all out to destroy him politically is low and bestial-lacking human sensibility, showing a lack of a Buddhist cultural development within him, without a least sense of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>His actions during the August elections was most undemocratic, distasteful not in keeping with a civilized wise leader. He was sacking General Secretaries of his political party sending letters to the Candidate.\u00a0 He was acting as he really believed that victory of the leader he betrayed would result in \u00a0he and his family being buried in an unknown cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>What a pathetic leadership he gives to Sri Lanka ?<\/p>\n<p>USA and the West must be laughing from every part of their stinking bodies congratulating themselves that they have at last \u00a0met with \u00a0a gullible leader with whom they could play their cards the way they want, and pave the way for\u00a0 their favourite Tamils against genocide\u201d, to establish their Tamil Eelam.<\/p>\n<p>Maithripala Sirisena has said nothing about the Geneva resolution.\u00a0 Perhaps he thinks that if it would bring Rajapaksas to an end it should be good enough. He is already a ceremonial President unable to take decisions of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Geneva resolution if implemented will end the sovereignty of Sri Lanka, and will be reduced to a Banana State.\u00a0 Our army will have to act according to rules and regulations set and supervised by the UNHuman Rights Office\u00a0 in Sri Lanka run by its own staff.\u00a0 They may also set up a representation of the NATO Forces in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>There is already an attempt to redefine\u00a0 Sovereignty, \u00a0with UNHRC getting more power in interfering into internal affairs of countries with the resolution passed against Sri Lanka sponsored by Sri Lanka itself.<\/p>\n<p>They may interfere into the legal system of Sri Lanka, and make it adopt foreign laws. They will supervise and put into effect the Tamil Eelam State. They will setup a separate Police force in the North.\u00a0 They will see to it that Sri Lanka will be a subjugated Island run by the American Sate Department and the UNHR Council.<\/p>\n<p>Maithripala Sirisena will make his brilliant speeches in Sinhala and will be received every where as King\u201d of Sri Lanka with his son and daughter accompanying him.\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe will be in the forefront\u00a0 with Mangala Samaraweera and Wijedasa Rajapakse meeting their USA and Western Administrators to run the government and plan development of the country etc. Ranil Wickramasinghe will enact his comic scenes in the Parliament calling names to fellow Parliamentarians.<\/p>\n<p>What role \u00a0will Champika Ranawaka play in that bizaar set up ?<\/p>\n<p>Why did Mahinda Rajapakse call for an election before his time\u00a0 was up ?<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka is today lost to its people.<\/p>\n<p>The betrayer too has been betrayed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Charles.S.Perera Ranil Wickramasinghe is not a patriotic leader who is prepared to make any sacrifice for the safety of the country.
