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

The Yahapalanaya is a Nadagama- Mahadenamutta and his pupils<\/strong>.\u00a0 Mahadenamutta had five pupils . He himself had given names to them according to their appearance. One was Indikatu Pencha \u2013 a thin tall man, Kotu Kithaiya the one who looked like a stick, his favourite was Polbe Muna who had a round face like\u00a0\u00a0 half a coconut, Rabboda Aiya\u00a0 had a big toddy belly, Puvak Badilla looked like an areccanut tree.\u00a0 Some of these characters could be distinguished amoung the Yahapalana Nadagama crowd. Readers may name their characters in the Yahapalana Nadagama as it pleases them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nadagama begins with Pothe Gura announcing what is to follow- JVP fits into this role.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>On the 8th<\/sup> January,2015, Ravi Karunanayake\u00a0 had a case for money laundering.\u00a0 The money is said to have come from none other than\u00a0 Raja Rajaratnam\u00a0 the fund provider for the terrorists.<\/p>\n

The Colombo Telegraph reported The Attorney General indicted Nexia Corporation, Linton Sirisoma and Karunanayake for allegedly facilitating money laundering in violation of Central bank regulations and the Exchange Control Act by depositing Rs. 390 million in a Standard Chartered bank account, which had been later used to purchase shares of the Union Bank. The transfer had been made by Sri Lankan American billionaire and hedge fund dealer Raj Rajarathnam.<\/p>\n

During the hearings it was alleged that Karunanayake was directly involved in the fraud and that he intervened to collect the funds once the money was deposited in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

In the meantime there was a change of Government and as by magic\u00a0 Ravi Karunanayake\u00a0 the man who was under a Court order to present himself at the Court in Colombo on the 29 January,2015\u00a0 to face the money laundering charges against him,\u00a0\u00a0 was named by\u00a0 the unconstitutionally appointed UNP Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasing\u00a0 as the Finance Minister.<\/p>\n

Colombo Telegraph adds, that the Exchange Control is the function of the Central Bank. The Central Bank is governed by the Monetary Board. The Secretary\/Finance (Treasury) is a member of the Monetary Board. The Minister of Finance is the Boss of the Secretary\/Finance. How nice to have a person charged with Exchange Control crimes as Finance Minister\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the very day that Ravi Karunanayake had been ordered to attend court to face money laundering charges, he had arranged to present the interim budget to the Parliament.\u00a0 As he could not be present\u00a0 both in the Court to face charges of fraud\u00a0 and present the Budget in Parliament at the same time the Justice had to adjust itself to accede to the\u00a0 request of the money launderer and postpones the hearing for the 4th<\/sup> March,2015.\u00a0 What a windfall to a money launderer.<\/p>\n

This is Yahapalana Nadagama. \u00a0They swear to honour democracy, fair-play and Justice , but from the Yahapalanaya President\u00a0 to the Police constable of the Yahapalanaya Government police\u00a0 force \u00a0on the road, \u00a0they \u00a0constantly break all democratic norms, moral codes, Constitutional provisions and above all twist justice to suit the political hierarchy\u00a0 in a syndrome of fear \u00a0amoung the Judges for political punishment \u00a0by Ranil Wickramasinghe of Batalanda fame.<\/p>\n

But yet we hear them yelling \u00a0that since they have\u00a0 come to power there is democracy, press freedom, \u00a0justice, and no white vans.<\/p>\n

They of the Yahapalanaya Nadagama have changed the white van to the Black Maria<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Immedately after the Presidential elections of the 8th<\/sup> January, 2015, \u00a0it was the beginning of the Nadagama. First \u00a0the Marxist JVP-the pothe guras<\/strong>, who joined hands with the Capitalist UNP to change Rajapakse Regime, with files accusing the Previous President , members of his family, his government and all his contacts , under their arms on their way to the Office of the Commissioner of \u00a0\u00a0Bribery and Corruption. Then \u00a0these pothe guras<\/strong>\u201d make the announcement to the press giving details of their accusations presented to the Bribery Commission.<\/p>\n

Whether the accused is proved guilty or not is immaterial the notice of guilt is announced to the press.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One year after, \u00a0the Yahapalana Nadagama is still at its opening \u00a0scene of\u00a0 carrying files containing accusations against the latest members who have connection to Rajapakse family. To facilitate matters they have gone a step further in their progressive development.\u00a0 First Ranil \u2013Polbe Muna<\/strong>, created \u00a0a FCID a secret police within the secret police specially for the Rajapakse family, their friends and all and sundry\u00a0 to be arrested taken in the Black Maria and remanded.\u00a0 Judicial procedures have been cut short.\u00a0 The arrested remain in the remand jail until a judge is available to decide on their bailing out.<\/p>\n

There have been so many cases filed, but no action has been taken on any one of them. \u00a0The Yahapalana Nadagama creates new courts and commissions, \u00a0all to accuse Rajapakse family and all connected to that family and the members of the \u00a0previous Government of Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n

President Maithripala Sirisena \u2013 Mahadenamutta<\/strong>, not to be outdone by \u00a0Ranil \u00a0the Polbe Muna<\/strong> with his FCID wanted a Commission of his own to investigate the Rajapakses. The Special Presidential Commission on Large scale corruption to which\u00a0 the Previous President Mahinda Rajapakse and his wife – the former First Lady are regularly called to take down statements.\u00a0 Latest we hear is that the former first Lady may also be arrested and taken the Black Maria to the Welikada Prison.<\/p>\n

Hiran Fernando UNP Minister was shouting at the top of his voice at Derana Wadapitiya today trying to justify\u00a0 action taken by Yahapalana Nadagama by describing how Sarath Fonseka was dragged from his legs from Hilton Hotel to Prison by the previous government.<\/p>\n

Besides these Yahapalana Nadagama has an Anti Corruption Front, and a Committee against Corruption headed by Ranil Wickramasinghe \u2013Polbe Muna<\/strong> himself.\u00a0 JVP\u00a0 too has set up its own three man Committee of Investigation.\u00a0 These are all there to investigate the previous government, \u00a0leaving\u00a0 unchecked the corruption of the actors of the Yahapalanaya Nadagama.<\/p>\n

This is the progress and development of Sri Lanka in terms of \u00a0-the Yahapalana Nadagama<\/p>\n

Raj Gonsalkorale in an article in Asian Tribune justly says , \u2026..In this instance, the politics pertaining to allegations of large scale corruption against the previous regime has some ironies that need to be addressed. This is in regard to the inclusion of politicians belonging to the regime being investigated, in the regime that is doing the investigating\u2026..<\/p>\n

\u2026.Beginning with President Sirisena himself who was a senior cabinet member for ten years in the previous regime, there are several others. Ministers Rajitha Senaratne, Rauf Hakeem, Champika Ranawake, Navin Dissanayake, Duminda Dissanayake, Abdul Rishad Bathiudeen and Udelappan Palani Digambaram were all part of the previous regime. Besides them, there are several State and Deputy Ministers as well. They were all part of the previous regime.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much do all these investigation Commissions, Committees, Fronts and\u00a0 the Criminal Investigation Divisions, and the Police \u00a0cost to the Yahapalana Nadagama with a dwindling economy ?<\/p>\n

At least the roads that the previous government built bring in a substantial income while Yahapalanaya Nadagama has done nothing to develop the economy, health or wellbeing of the people, ever since it \u00a0took office on the 9th<\/sup> January,2015..<\/p>\n

Yahapalana Nadagama –They have failed even to build a decent Public Toilet any where in Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The period of time , since 8th<\/sup> January, 2015, is being used for investigations into the previous government of Mahinda Rajapakse searching for the bounties of his corruption which has eluded them, \u00a0but provided the Yahapalana Nadagama a stage to\u00a0 carry on with its boring Nadagama.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, National Freedom Front has lodged a complaint at the Bribery Commission that the Minister Rajitha Senaratne- the Puwak Badilla<\/strong>, \u00a0had acquired a fleet of 8 crafts at a cost of 400 million rupees and the fleet had caught \u00a0an estimated haul of fish worth Rs. 2 billion, which had not been accounted for.\u00a0 But the investigations are slow or \u00a0forgotten if they concern the comedians of the Yahapala Nadagama.<\/p>\n

The biggest Bank fraud of Sri Lanka took place immediately after the Yahapalanaya Nadagma started its theatrical performance<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

The Sri Lanka BRIEF reported,<\/p>\n

The entire business community was shocked with the blatant abuse of power of the Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendren to help his infamous son in law Arjun Aloysius, known for his infamous EPF deals with the previous government, resulting in the fund losing over 2 billion Rupees. To date the government has not investigated a single transaction and it will never happen under the current regime. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..CB governor\u2019s son in law were involved in the previous regime\u2019s EPF dealings amounting to Billions as well, no action has been taken so far against his company Perpetual ltd. Now he has taken it to another level because he has the support of his Governor Father in law and the Prime Minister whom he refers to Uncle Ranil in conversations.\u201d\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

No body neither Arjun Mahendran nor his son-in-law Arjun Aloysius has been taken for questioning by the FCID on the Central Bank Bond Scam issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But in the case of Yoshitha Rajapakse it was different, FCID was very prompt in taking Yoshitha into custody without any \u00a0valid reason; only a story of\u00a0 money laundering. The importance of taking Yoshitha into custody\u00a0 is because the Independence day is\u00a0 3 days away and Yoshitha Rajapakse is a price catch, before \u00a0President Sirisena \u2013Mahadenamutta takes the salute of the march past on the Independence Day. And Prince Zeid Ra\u2019ad AL-Hussein\u00a0 of hybrid Court fame will be in town on the 5th<\/sup> February, and\u00a0 Ranil- Polbe Muna\u00a0 can tell the Prince, that Rajapakse Family has been brought to books.\u00a0 \u00a0But when it comes to actors of the Yahapalanaya Nadagama \u00a0their cases can wait.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview to Ceylon Today, \u00a0Rajitha Senaratne \u2013Puwak Badilla<\/strong> answering a question by Anura Bandara Rajaguru: \u00a0\u00a0A complaint has been filed against you in the Bribery and Corruption Commission. What is your response to the demand for your resignation? Rajitha Senaratne \u2013 the Puwak Badilla<\/strong> says:
\nIn that case, the best way to get somebody to resign is to complain to a Commission somewhere. Complaining is not sufficient. The case must be proved. I have no reasons to resign. We are leading a massive struggle against bribery and corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it concerns the actors of the Yahapalana Nadagama , the FCID looks at the offence differently. \u00a0And the Yahapalana Nadagama actors have no fear. FCID is like a trained dog.\u00a0 It does not bite the handlers.<\/p>\n

The Governor of the Central Bank and his Son in Law are drinking \u00a0and dining with the Yahapalanay Nadagama crowd.<\/p>\n

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.(St.Mathew)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mum is the word on the Central Bank Bond Scam amoung \u00a0the Yahapalana Nadagama Circle, while they are all out to catch wives of the ministers of former government for having a passport with\u00a0 a wrong date of birth, or taking the former first lady to record statements, or arrest an \u00a0MP because he had two passports.<\/p>\n

Ranil \u2013the Polbe Muna<\/strong>, \u00a0made a fiery speech in Parliament \u2013which was unparliamentary bashing the Journalists.\u00a0 He spoke of his being a Buddhist when every one knows that he is a born Christian with an uncle a Bishop- the \u00a0Late Bishop Lakshman Wickramasinghe of the\u00a0 Kurunegala Diocese.\u00a0 Polbe Muna \u00a0demonstrated how he prays\u00a0 Buddha clapping his hands and said he does not say Rajapaksa saranang gachchami.<\/p>\n

That was Yahapalana Nadagama at its best for his UNP cohorts. Ranil-the Polbe Muna<\/strong> was turning round laughing at his own jokes\u00a0 pulling up his trousers, not allowing it to fall down , the UNP Ministers around him Kiriella- Kotu Kithaiya<\/strong>-, Ravi Karunanayaka-Rabboda Aiya <\/strong>and\u00a0 the rest of the lot were\u00a0 thumping on the tables and clapping hands. Polbe Muna<\/strong> \u00a0was acting his part well.<\/p>\n

Champika Ranawake \u2013the Indikatu Pencha<\/strong> was in Hiru TV Salakuna .\u00a0 He says that it was he who did every thing that was beneficial to the country in the previous government.\u00a0 President Rajapakse had achieved nothing.\u00a0 It was he who went to Mavil Aru\u00a0 and asked Mahinda Rajapakse to wage a war against the terrorists. Mahinda Rajapakse wanted to merely give millions of Rupees to Prbhakaran to protect himself and his family.\u00a0 He was arranging with a LTTE agent to arrange a meeting with Prabhakaran for him to talk peace.\u00a0 When the Hiru TV\u00a0 Moderatoer asked him whether\u00a0 it was really he who did every thing.?\u00a0 He said, \u00a0 that is why I used the\u00a0 We\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Champika Ranawaka-Indikatu Pencha<\/strong> spoke with so much hatred when he referred to Mahinda Rajapakse one really wondered what Mahinda Rajapakse had done to him.\u00a0 Champika-the \u00a0Indikatu Pencha<\/strong> of the Yahapalana Nadagama says he represent JHU a\u00a0 party of the followers of Buddhism , if so how can he have so much of hatred in him. About Ekneligoda he said that people responsible for his disappearance should be arrested.\u00a0 When the Moderator said that there were reports that\u00a0 Champika Ranawaka also had a grudge against Ekneligoda for a letter he had published in Sinhala News Paper, Champika was really angry and said how people were trying to destroy him and his children.<\/p>\n

Champika Ranawaka awakened to love of his own children and spoke hatefully of the people who\u00a0 scandalised him publishing a letter to the press, but with regard to arrest of Yoshitha he said that it was Mahinda Rajapakse who had asked for it, \u00a0therefore it is normal\u00a0 that Yoshitha had been arrested.\u00a0 He- the Indikatu Pencha<\/strong> is really playing the part of a villain in the Yahapalana Nadagama<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yahapalan Nadagama speaks of maintaining a Unitary Country and vows not to entertain Federalism, but in the same breath allows the National Anthem to be sung in Tamil. A Nation has one National Anthem and that is\u00a0 in all countries sung in the language of the Majority.<\/p>\n

Yahapalana Nadagama\u00a0 ruins all aspect of Sri Lanka, economic, social, geographic, political and also religious aspect of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 Sri Lanka\u2019s uniqueness is in its\u00a0 Sinhala Theravada Buddhist culture.\u00a0 Tamil Culture is amply represented in Tamil Nadu, Muslim culture in all Arab countries, Pakistan, Indonesia etc.<\/p>\n

Therefore it is the duty of every Sri Lankan to protect the Theravada Buddhist Culture of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 The Yahaplanaya Nadagama is now taking on itself the control of the Buddhist monks.\u00a0 If a Buddhist Kathikawatha has to be legalised, it is normal that it should be done, but what is wrong is the way it has been \u00a0proposed.\u00a0\u00a0 The three Nikayas of Sri Lanka should have been asked to prepare a Kathikawatha and presented it to the Parliament to put it into a legal format.<\/p>\n

The Theravada Buddhist Kathikawatha should have come from the Buddhist monks to the Parliament and not from Parliament to the Buddhist \u00a0monks.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
