SWRD\u00a0 broke away from\u00a0 the UNP\u00a0 to form the\u00a0 SLFP in terms of his political philosophy.\u00a0 Chandrika Kumaratunga despite being the daughter of SWRD\u00a0 did not follow her father\u2019s political views and was never his political heir. Therefore,\u00a0 after Mrs.Bandaranayake the heir of SWRD\u2019s political party SLFP was Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n

Mahinda Rajapakse was faced with a problem of having to stop the SLFP breaking up after his defeat at the Presidential election,\u00a0 in the wake of Maithripala Sirisena\u2019s scandalous\u00a0 abandoning\u00a0 the SLFP in seek of greener pastures in the UNP. A few ambition Ministerial portfolio seekers were already beginning to trickle away from SLFP to stand by Maithripala Sirisena.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0President Mahinda Rajapakse was quite aware, that Maithripala Sirisena who walked away to the UNP seeking his own political liberation from SLFP, did not have a political philosophy or principle any where close to SWRD . Nevertheless, Rajapakse handed over its leadership to Maithripala Sirisena to avoid a break up of the SLFP which he loved, \u00a0as \u00a0much as his father who had a hand in helping SWRD to organise the SLFP.<\/p>\n

It is \u00a0evident that Maithripala Sirisena\u2019s SLFP is meant to be a party of the ambitious political power seekers, a part of the UNP, the Tamil Racists, Arabised Muslims, Catholic and Colombian Sinhala.<\/p>\n

Further more SLFP of Maithripala Sirisena\u00a0 is not of\u00a0 Sri Lanka\u2019s Pancha Maha Balavegaya , nor of the\u00a0 patriotic \u00a0sons of the land who are ready to lay down their lives to protect the country to preserve its 2600 years old Buddhism,\u00a0 and its Buddhist cultural identity which makes Sri Lanka the only country of its unique ancient traditions. Even USA, and the West cannot be proud of such an illustrious past as that of Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, \u00a0SWRD Bandaranayake\u2019s SLFP having \u00a0had met with an unnatural death on the 16th<\/sup> January,2015, it is well that a new political party springs from the ashes of the old-SLPJP.<\/p>\n

In forming the SLFP SWRD Bandaranayake was taking a risk as he was breaking away from the then capitalist class of Sri Lanka, influential over the poor Sinhala people bound by feudal rights, land tenure, and caste obligations. But the people were awaiting a saviour- a Diyasena to take them away into another political direction.<\/p>\n

Hence the new founded Sri Lanka Podu Jana Peramuna\u00a0 would be an extension of\u00a0 the political philosophy of SWRD\u00a0 which would conveniently replace his SLFP which has now\u00a0 taken a\u00a0 different shade from the political philosophy and principles it was meant to represent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the risks that the organisers\u00a0 of the Sri Lanka Podu Jana Peramuna-SLPJP are taking \u00a0today are much greater than those SWRD had to take when he organised the SLFP.<\/p>\n

There are not\u00a0 only local politicos spitting their salivated poisons and level castigations like the future Presidential hopeful Champika Ranawaka, but also NGOs and foreign secret service agents, specially those of the RAW, MI5,CIA etc., \u00a0with their pockets full of dollars roaming about trying to buy over politicians from the Mahinda Rajapakse Camp. Their presence could be imagined\u00a0 from the recent \u00a0walk out of some members of the NFF of Wimal Weerawansa. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, every member of the SLPJP should take an oath to be dedicated to the cause of keeping Sri Lanka a unitary Nation, without encouraging, by thought, word or action\u00a0 any attempt by any one to divide the country amoung the Tamil,\u00a0 Muslims and Sinhala, and they would remain \u00a0united with the Party under all circumstances and promise not to sell the country through temptation for money, rank or position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
