We should celebrate independence only if we function as an independent nation. There is little point throwing tamashas to celebrate independence if\u00a0we are taking orders from foreign nations or running to them before making decisions or have to get their nod of approval to run the affairs of the country.\u00a0We need to seriously ask whether we are today a sovereign state. In self-forfeiting our sovereignty, the nation has landed itself in a virtual soup of irreversible mess.<\/p>\n

That Sri Lanka is fast turning into a banana republic is quite clear. That plan has been materializing for a long time by foreign governments, organizations on their payroll and locals tapped into do the legwork. Thus, from media, editors, lawyers, unions, fringe groups, students, to even politicians and professionals had been tapped to be their virtual spokespersons. Protests are stage managed to create the seeds of dissent in preparedness to force any government that do not tow the line to fall. Thus the new constitution is obviously been drafted to facilitate the plans of all foreign agendas. Partnership agreements is nothing but agreeing to enforce the foreign plan while personally looking after those agreeing. There is no country to country partnership agreement. The calls for demilitarization, bogus allegations against Sri Lankan forces, return of lands to people who never even owned lands, building houses for illegal immigrants, deforestation and creating mono-ethnic enclave where training trouble starts were all part of a larger plan.<\/p>\n
