And \u00a0it is being confirmed\u00a0 from the way his UNP followers are trying to make\u00a0 the Prime Minister a hero, because he appeared before the Bond Commission to answer questions on the part he had played in the Bank Robery.<\/p>\n<p>Then again the Prime Minister\u2019s good friend the former Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake who was selected the Finance Minister of the Year for Asia-Pacific by the prestigious , The Banker \u201d Magazine, was forced to step down from his Ministerial position due to his involvement in the Central Bank Bond Robery.<\/p>\n<p>The people now question why if Ravi Karunayake the former Finance Minister\u00a0 had stepped down because of his involvement in the Bond Scam, why should not the Prime Minister follow suit as his presence before the\u00a0 Commission\u00a0 establishes the Prime Minister\u2019s involvement in the Bond Scam.<\/p>\n<p>Instead the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe \u00a0who it seems , wants to claim that he got involved in the Bond scam as the Previous governments may have also got involved\u00a0 in such a Bond Scams before him, has said in Parliament that he is calling for investigations into Bond Sales by the Central Bank under the previous governments in the years before 2014.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is nothing so great in a Prime Minister appearing even in a court house, and be cross examined to clear his name from any theft he may have bee accused of ?\u00a0 However \u00a0today the ordinary people of the country thinks that after the Bond Scam scandal Ranil Wickramasinghe has no moral right to continue to be the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then the President Maithripala Sirisena, who had been a silent spectator of the Bond Scam comedy for a long time, payed scant attention when the Prime Minister appointed\u00a0 the blacklisted Governor of the Central Bank Arujun Mahendran as an advisor to the Prime Minister in the area of investments.<\/p>\n<p>This was \u00a0despite the President Sirisena\u2019s demand to remove him, and he \u00a0appointed Indrajith Coomarswamy as the Governor of the Central Bank. But yet the President Sirisena \u00a0did nothing to\u00a0 settle the raging scandal around the Bond Scam that took place on the 27 February,2015.<\/p>\n<p>The President Sirisena was also acclaimed\u00a0 a hero after the Prime Minitser Ranil Wickramasinghe put in motion his FCID to catch the thieves and bribe takers of the previous government.\u00a0 However, the President became aware of the\u00a0 seriousness of the Bond Scam only\u00a0 when he read the news papers, and heard the noise raging outside in the streets about the bond scam scandal.<\/p>\n<p>It was only then on the 27 January,2017, one year after the Bond Scam, that President Sirisena \u00a0woke up to appoint\u00a0 a Commission\u00a0 to investigate into the Bond scam. The ordinary people now asks what the President was doing all that time, and questions whether he is not partly to be blamed for allowing the Bond Scam to continue for so long without a proper investigation, The people begin to wonder\u00a0 whether it would\u00a0 now not be best for him to \u00a0step down from his office along with his Prime Minister.<\/p>\n<p>There are the pro President Sirisena Ministers of the Yahapalanaya, who praise the President as a great patriot, who saved Sri Lanka by taking a risk to walk away\u00a0 from a vicious leader who was keeping the people of Sri Lanka\u00a0 under his\u00a0 grip, a dictator who had done away with\u00a0 democracy , and\u00a0 the rule of law , for the benefit of his \u00a0family, making money\u00a0 and antagonising the western countries. Hence the Yahapalanaya sympathisers\u00a0 believe that \u00a0the President is another great Yahapalanaya hero.<\/p>\n<p>But the ordinary people of this country knows, \u00a0that the\u00a0 President Mahinda Rajapakse who was betrayed by his friend and the General Secretary of his party, was no dictator. He was one who was given the driving seat of a dilapidated vehicle to take it\u00a0 safely through\u00a0 a\u00a0 jungle road infested with terrorists , with untrustworthy army commanders, and a set of local political \u00a0leaders manipulated by the West and the Tamil diaspora. \u00a0President Mahinda Rajapakse had no time for political niceties or justness, for \u00a0him it was then a live or die situation.<\/p>\n<p>President Mahinda Rajapakse had to be careful and \u00a0had to be strict\u00a0 with those \u00a0with whom he was to work, and\u00a0 help him, in order to drive safely the\u00a0 dilapidated political vehicle he was handed over. \u00a0And the people knows that he drove that dilapidated \u00a0car to safety and removed obstacles\u00a0 and brought peace and security to the country what ever the now heroic betrayers say about him, and say about \u00a0lack of democracy under him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But apparently it was not\u00a0 patriotism and the desire to save the country from a demoniac\u2019 leader that made Sirisena walk away from SLFP. He was rather \u00a0lured by the promise of the \u00a0Presidency of Sri Lanka offered to him by\u00a0 Chandrika and \u00a0Ranil. It was the result of a secret plan, \u00a0a conspiracy hatched by the Ranil- Chandrika duo. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to what Chandrika Kumaratunga said to a reporter of the HindustanTimes of the 15 September,2015:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026\u2026On Saturday morning, speaking to a small group of journalists in New Delhi, on her first trip to the Indian Capital after the political change in Sri Lanka, Kumaratunga traced back the past decade and then recalled how she narrowed down on Maithripala Sirisena, the current President as a common candidate.<\/p>\n<p>He had worked under me, and was not known to be corrupt or a murdered. It was difficult to find someone in my party at the leadership level who met those parameters,\u201d she said, with a smile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>There you are, \u00a0that was how the choice was made\u00a0 they wanted\u00a0 a good honest malleable man from amoung the trusted people of\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse, and that was how Chandrika picked the man who was \u00a0to back stab his leader.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That is not the end for Yahapalanya has created yet another hero. It is the former Yahapalana Minister of Foreign Affairs , the present Minister of Finance. Mangala Samaraweera a well known enemy of President Mahinda Rajapakse. His speciality was in selling Sri Lanka to the West and the Tamil diaspora, and do every thing to spit China in the face and promote the West as Sri Lanka\u2019s new found friends.<\/p>\n<p>The UNP and Chandrika went all out along with Mangala Samaraweera to kick out China\u2019s influence in\u00a0 Sri Lanka under President Mahinda Rajapakse, and welcome back the friends of the West neglected hitherto by Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n<p>Mangala Samaraweera is quite proud of his smooth talk and ability to be servile to the white\u00a0 West. Of course Chandrika and Ranil believed that it is the West that would help them to develop Sri Lanka, faster than Mahinda Rajapakse did with the help of China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mangala Samaraseera, Ranil and Chandrika won the West to their side, but the expected financial aid to develop the country failed to come from them. Yahapalanaya then had no alternative but to prostrate before\u00a0 China begging for financial support to build Sri Lanka. China played their cards well with the traitors\u201d,\u00a0 and asked for Sri Lanka\u2019s National wealth in return for crumbs to serve them with what ever development they envisaged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mangala Samaraweera did not stop with winning the West, he went all out to sponsor a resolution the USA and the West had moved at the UN Human Rights Council denouncing Sri Lanka\u2019s own Armed Forces for war crimes in the course of the elimination of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Samaraweera went on his \u00a0knees at the Geneva Human Rights Council shedding tears of complacence praising \u00a0the West for the well prepared \u00a0resolution against Sri Lanka\u2019s own Armed Forces, which he said hew would sponsor with humility on behalf of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mangala Samaraweera also went with TNA terrorists supporter MP M.A. Sumanthiran\u00a0 to a meeting of \u00a0the pro-terrorist Tamil Diaspora Organisations in Singapore, to promise them amoung other matters, to write a New Constitution to Sri Lanka making secret provisions to make the Constitution Federal once it is passed on Parliament.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mangala Samaraweera has strange bedfellows to promote his efforts to sell Sri Lanka to the Tamils-Dambara Amila, Vickramabahu Karunaratne, and M.A.Sumanthiran. They were addressing\u00a0 a meeting of the third Sathyagraha Campaign of 6.2 Million on Alert\u201d on 24 November, 2017\u00a0 opposite the Sacred Bo Tree in Matara. In his speech to the gathering\u00a0 Mangala Samaraweera said,<\/p>\n<p>\u2026.The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United National Party (UNP) have formed a consensus government to finalise and adopt a new constitution for Sri Lanka as we do not know who would be elected as the Executive President in the future; so let&#8217;s use this opportunity for the betterment of the country,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>M.A.Sumnthiran had said addressing the same gathering,  power should be devolved for every citizen\u00a0 to live amicably\u00a0 as one family\u00a0 and Sri Lanka to prevail as one Nation.\u201d Vikramabahu Karunaratne had said , In the past, northern politicians who addressed people of the south in Sinhala were assassinated by northern extremists. &#8220;Sumanthiran has ignored this threat as this duration may be the last opportunity to adopt a new constitution,\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>After all this in the North TNA MP Sivajilingam had celebrated\u00a0 terrorist Prabhakaran\u2019s Birth day , yet the West\u00a0 prods on the Yahapalanaya Government to continue with the Reconciliation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In reality there is nothing to write about the political heist of the 8<sup>th<\/sup> January, 2015, that set up a Yahapalanaya Government displacing a government that was looking forward to greater development of Sri Lanka, for its security ,\u00a0 peace and welfare of the people.<\/p>\n<p>After \u00a0the elapse of more than\u00a0 two years Yahapalanaya has done nothing for the country and the people , but what ever they did was \u00a0all for the benefit and enrichment of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil Wicramasinghe and Sirisena keep making\u00a0 more promises for the future to the people, already weighted down with financial burdens thrust upon them, and in poverty and distress caused\u00a0 by the \u00a0Yahapalanaya Government\u2019s \u00a0so far unfulfilled\u00a0 promises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already fooled by this \u00a0rogue\u201d government which keeps on promising wealth and prosperity in eight years to come, would the people once again give their votes to them at the forth coming \u00a0elections for the Provincial Councils ? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the people of the country were to trust these Yahaplanaya tricksters once again \u00a0\u00a0and votes them into power in the Provincial Councils as well, there would be neither \u00a0hope nor prosperity,\u00a0 but disaster in a divided Sri Lanka lost to its Sinhala Buddhists for ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is that what the Sinhala Buddhists want ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today the Sinhala Buddhists who \u00a0are the majority of the \u00a0population have been reduced to a minority status in political power and decision making where the Yahapalanaya Government has with a pseudo reconciliation move given more power to\u00a0 Tamils and Muslims to decide on the future of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>We see that in the preparation of a new\u00a0 Constitution , protection of Buddhism and the Buddhist Sinhala cultural values would only be a name board, giving more consideration to\u00a0 satisfy the Tamil and Muslim interests , which are also promoted by the anti Sri lanka West.<\/p>\n<p>If the Sinhala Buddhists would be divided\u00a0 in their votes at the forthcoming Prvincial Council elections, it would be the Tamils and Muslims that would put back into power the disastrous Yahapalanaya, pushing the Sinhala majority to insignificance.<\/p>\n<p>The NGO vultures have become the political advisers to the President Sirisena, and Ranil and Chandrika will steamroll any decisions of the President Sirisena, which would be reduced t u high sounding Sinhala speeches unheard in the West and ineffective in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Charles S.Perera The ordinary people of Sri Lanka have gathered from evident facts\u00a0 that there is sufficient circumstantial evidence to show that the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe is directly or indirectly\u00a0 involved in\u00a0 the \u00a0planned Central Bank Bond robbery.
