Yahapalanaya goons accused Mahinda Rajapakse for running a\u00a0 family affair, but Ranil Wickramasinghe makes the government an affair of buddies, with the connivance of the President.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maithripala Sirisena was elected by the people at the Presidential elections. Therefore he has the peoples\u2019 consent to become the President of Sri Lanka. However, \u00a0a large number of Sinhala Buddhists had rejected him.<\/p>\n

But the people of Sri Lanka never wanted \u00a0Ranil Wickramasinghe as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. If there is a referendum today to ask the people whether \u00a0they would like to have Ranil Wickramasinghe as their President, a large majority of the people will definitely say No.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe was elected by the Colombo Sinhala,Tamils and Muslims. He was rejected by the mass of the people of this country 29 times consecutively.\u00a0 But Maithripala Sirisena unconstitutionally appointed him the Prime Minister for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

This Prime Minister\u00a0 of the President Maithripala Sirisena, had his personal plans to enrich his Party the treasury of which had dwindled due to UNP having been outside political power for well over twenty years.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe when he became the Prime Minister got around him his buddies-<\/strong> people who could help him fulfil \u00a0his personal plans to strengthen his power in the country as the leader of the UNP and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

He appointed Ravi Karunanayake despite a pending \u00a0court case against him for money laundering, as his Finance Minister.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe \u00a0knew that he would be \u00a0legally safe in doing even a legally incorrect affair as the Prime Minister. Therefore, in preparation for what ever was in his mind, \u00a0he \u00a0took over from the Finance Minister, \u00a0the Central Bank under his Ministry- Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then he got down from Singapore Arjun Mahendran ( who is not a citizen of Sri Lanka), a friend of the Finance Minister Ravi Karunananayke, and Raj Rajaratnam. Incidentally \u00a0Raj Rajaratnam is the man who financed the Sri\u00a0 Lanka Terrorists, and whose funds Ravi Karunanayake was accused to have tried to launder\u201d.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Wickramasinghe \u00a0\u00a0recommended to the President\u00a0 Arjun Mahendran to be appointed the Governor of the Central Bank. The President acceded to his Prime Minister\u2019s request without investigating his background, to assure himself of \u00a0the suitability of his appointment to the most responsible and coveted post in the Country. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This irregular recommendation for the appointment of a non Sri Lankan as the Governor of\u00a0 the Central Bank was evidently an \u00a0abuse of \u00a0the powers vested in the \u00a0office of Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

The Governor of the Central Bank\u00a0 was accused in \u00a0reports made by two COPE Committees for the role he played in the \u00a0Central Bank Bond Scam in which 5 billion rupees had been swindled by\u00a0 his son-in-law Arjun Joseph Alloysius of Perpetual Bonds Co.in a Bond Scam.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister\u2019s responsibility for the Bond scam is in \u00a0question, firstly, \u00a0as the Central Bank comes directly under his Ministry, secondly for protecting the Governor of the Central Bank when the President refused to extend his contract, by employing him as a Consulted in the Prime Minister\u2019s Office. And thirdly for advising the President to dissolve the Parliament before the first COPE report accusing the Governor of the Central Bank was presented in the Parliament. Prime Minister \u00a0is also indirectly responsible for the subsequent attempt by the UNP MPs in the COPE committee adding foot notes to the COPE report to dilute\u201d, the legal effect of\u00a0 the\u00a0 COPE Report.<\/p>\n

Therefore in respect to democracy for which this government often makes a great fanfare, \u00a0Ranil Wickramasinghe should step down from the office of Prime Minister without delay, as he is guilty of his responsibility for the Bond Scam on the three counts enumerated above. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In this matter,\u00a0 the President Maithripala Sirisena should also\u00a0 take a part of the blame for allowing the Prime Minister to continue to employ Arjuna Mahendran when his services had been terminated by the refusal to extend his contract. Therefore, it becomes imperative that\u00a0 the President Maithripala Sirisena demand the Prime Minister to submit his resignation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka<\/strong> should have a Sinhala Buddhist patriot as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. Ranil Wickramasinghe does not qualify either as a Sinhala Buddhist nor as a Patriot who loves Sri Lanka and would save and protect the historical heritage\u00a0 the Sinhala people.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe \u00a0depends on the minorities the Tamils and Muslims along with the green even if cut\u201d UNP Sinhala \u00a0vote Base to keep himself afloat in the troubled political waters of Sri Lanka. Therefore he will make all sacrifices to satisfy the minorities at the cost of the Majority.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe behaved similarly\u00a0 when he was the Prime Minister of the President Chandrika Kumaratunga. He signed the CFA without consulting either the President or the Parliament, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Soldiers as well as terrorists, and perhaps civilians too which the American Resolution against the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka for violation of human rights during the last phase of the elimination of terrorists does not take into account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was also responsible for the Athurugiriya Millenium City raid which resulted in the murder of a number of officers of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces\u2019 Secret Service. He should also take the blame for \u00a0building a close relation with the West despite Sri Lanka\u2019s policy of non-alignment. The Prime Minister had also been accused for maintaining torture camps in Batalanda, by a Commission appointed for its investigation.<\/p>\n

Now he is all out to prepare himself for the 2019 Presidential elections, having assured that President Maithripala Sirisena will not be a contestant for the Presidency in 2019. He had also assured the \u00a0removal of some of the \u00a0President\u2019s executive powers with the passing of the19Amendment to the Constitution, which does not even allow the President to dissolve the Parliament until 2020.<\/p>\n

It is with that in mind that Ranil Wickramasinghe \u00a0is all out to discredit the President Mahinda Rajapakse. Every political manoeuvres he had made so far, \u00a0had been with that view in mind. He appointed Sarath Fonseka a man with a rotten mouth without any idea of what is political good sense, as a Minister for the only purpose of getting him to make speeches\u201d in Parliament insulting the President Mahinda Rajapakse. He created the FCID to take into custody and imprison every one that opposes him and would be an obstacle for his Presidential ambition.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe has around him corrupt politicians- Lakshman Kiriella Minister of High Ways has appointed 45 of his henchmen as consultants\u00a0 paying them monthly a sum of Rs.65,000,00. When he was questioned in Parliament on this irregular appointments he said that he was helping those who helped him to win the Parliamentary seat.<\/p>\n

Sarath Fonseka is his man to attack the Previous President Mahinda Rajapakse to deny him \u00a0political\u00a0 influence in the country.<\/p>\n

Sarath Fonseka is \u00a0also a corrupt person who got\u00a0 the Sri Lanka Armed Forces, when he was the Army\u00a0 Commander , \u00a0to \u00a0purchase bullets and shells for the use of the Armed Forces from his son-in-law Danuna Tillekeratne\u2019s Company Hicorp . The Company got\u00a0 2 cents for every bullet fired by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces and 20 dollars for every shell.<\/p>\n

(http:\/\/archive1.english.news.lk\/features\/political\/12579-every-bullet-fired-at-innocent-tamil-civilians-fetched-kickbacks-to-gen-fonseka-family.html)<\/p>\n

There is no one capable of leading the UNP, therefore Ranil Wickramasinghe is UNP\u2019s hobson\u2019s choice as its leader. Karu Jayasuriya\u00a0 is not independent even as the speaker of the Parliament he would not take any decision that would go against the UNP or its Leader. Sajith Premadasa is a man without any self confidence . There was once a group of members of the UNP who proposed him \u00a0to take over the leadership of the Party. But he quickly turned down the offer proposing that Karu Jayasuriya should be the leader.<\/p>\n

Only person in the UNP who has leadership qualities is Rosy Senanayake. But she was not given even a ministerial responsibility. Rosy Senanayake would have certainly been a better Minister \u00a0than Sarath Fonseka- who remains a military man in his speech and behaviour. He is far from being a politician or the likes of one .<\/p>\n

Malik Samarawickrama is another buddy <\/strong>of Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister. Samarawickrama is not an elected Parliamentarian, but he takes lot of initiatives that even a Minister does not take. He interferes with any Ministry he wants without consulting the Minister in Charge. There have been charges of corruption against him which have not been investigated as yet.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister fools the people of Sri Lanka by making false statements. The Volkswagan motor car assembly, plant and a foreign glove producing company in Horana were all false publicity given with a view to fool the masses to believe that the Yahapalanaya government is carrying out projects financed by foreign investors.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister makes most dangerous proposals without consulting the President , Cabinet or the Parliament. The creation of a Super Minister with powers to act beyond the powers of the Parliament was one such mind boggling project that came out of his mind. With a Prime Minister like him, it is dangerous to allow the passing of Agreements with India such as the ETCA, Hanuman Bridge or under ground tunnels to Sri Lanka from Tamil Nadu and\u00a0 a direct overland transport system from India to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

It is high time President Sirisena wakes up to stop this megalomaniac from ruining Sri Lanka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is the one who did not allow a real democratically acceptable opposition in the Parliament, instead he appointed with the connivance of his buddy <\/strong>the Speaker TNA Parlimentarians as the Opposition of the Parliament to allow his\u00a0 government a political support against the real \u00a0opposition.<\/p>\n

Mangala Samaraweera is the other buddy<\/strong>, who keeps alive Ranil Wickramasinghe and his governments\u00a0 servitude to the West. Samaraweera is on his own. He makes statements binding Sri Lanka without consulting the President or the Parliament. That is how he came to sponsor the American Human Rights resolution against Sri Lanka, with the consent of\u00a0 the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe blinded by his ambition, and to be close to the West.<\/p>\n

They all have a wonderful time at the expense of\u00a0 Sri Lanka. They are able to do that thanks to the President Mahinda Rajapakse, who eliminated terrorism and brought peace to the country\u00a0 under the blanket of which these Yahapalanaya goons have been so far very safe, to continue their attack on\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse, his family and all who have any connection to him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake is the Mervyn Silva of Ranil Wickramasinghe\u2019s Yahapalanaya Government. He is there to catch thieves. He is \u00a0an extension to what JVP is doing. JVP members are also the buddies<\/strong> of Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister. They are all together in the exercise of ruining the Rajapakses and all connected to them along with Wimal Weerawansa who is a strong Critic of this Ayahapalanaya Government.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is completely out of touch with the ordinary masses of Sri Lanka. Raznil says \u00a0that when Yahapalanaya came into power Sri Lanka was like a patient on his death bed, and that they are going to treat the patient and bring him back to life to make this country a better place for the young people of this country.<\/p>\n

But every one knows that Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has already killed the patient, and now it is only a Zombie that he is trying\u00a0 to awaken. No good to the young, the old or the country will come by their doctoring a Zombie.<\/p>\n

Best that the Prime Minister and his Government can do is to resign for the good of every one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is President Maithripala Sirisena doing supporting this man \u00a0Ranil Wickramasinghe who is going to hang on to being the Prime Minister at any cost. He will bring Sri Lanka not only to bankruptcy, but also to utter ruin balkanising it to please the minorities. If the President wants to Serve Sri Lanka in a positive manner, he should get rid of the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, and appoint a Patriotic Sinhala Buddhist as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
