Given below is the translation of a speech made by the member of Parliament for Hambantota District Mr. Namal Rajapaksa at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Minuwangoda\u00a0 electorate of the Joint Opposition held at the Reggie Ranatunge Commemoration Hall in Udugampola.\u00a0 The meeting was convened by the Gampaha District MP and convenor of the Joint Opposition Mr. Prasanna Ranatunga and a large crowd of several thousand from the Minuwangoda electorate attended. This meeting was held to affirm the victory of the Joint Opposition in the forthcoming local government elections. Participants came in motorcades from all parts of Minuwangoda to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n

The members of the Joint Opposition oppose the unity talks because they cannot agree to SLFP\u2019s double games.\u00a0 What is being attempted by the SLFP is while remaining in the government with the United National Party they want to be with the Joint Opposition in the Local Government Institutions.\u00a0 It is not possible for us to allow for such double games<\/p>\n

Within hundred days of this government coming to power those who voted for searching various things that were reported to be missing and hidden came to understand the lies and started calling for an election.\u00a0 As it was not possible to market the 100 days promissory note a 60 months promissory note was introduced.\u00a0 Even before 10 months of introducing that promissory note there came another one with\u00a0 dateline to be before 2025.<\/p>\n

The whole government cannot understand what to do now.\u00a0 It told the lies of 100 days, when it backfired told about 60 months and when that also backfired they are talking now about 2025.\u00a0 These people carried out election campaigns with lies and mud slinging.\u00a0 It was full of mud slinging that was visible in the stages of the Swan Front.\u00a0 They hurled mud on the dress people were wearing up to what they were eating.<\/p>\n

They said there are Lamboginis. They searched for helicopters in the courtyard of the ancestral residence Medamulana\u201d.\u00a0 They searched for Gold horses.\u00a0 Minister Rajitha Senaratne said that he saw by his own eyes Namal with some others carrying money filled bags on their shoulders for depositing in a Dubai Bank.\u00a0 It was said that a boy wearing Shorts and killing Thajudeen is in CCTV cameras and arrests will be made on the next day.<\/p>\n

They fooled the people by telling these lies.\u00a0\u00a0 Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe came to power by promising one million jobs.\u00a0 By promising so he laid the foundation stone for a\u00a0 Valksvagen factory in Kuliyapitiya and before he returned to Colombo from Kuliyapitiya the original Volkswagen factory announced it was not factory of theirs.\u00a0 It may not be a matter of much importance to the President because he comes to know things through the newspapers only.<\/p>\n

Now cases have been filed against all of us.\u00a0 They attempt to frighten us by filing cases against us.\u00a0 They are attempting to frighten the opposition, sell the state assets and establish a dictatorial regime.\u00a0 We would like to tell the government that they cannot frighten us by putting us in jails. I saw yesterday that Mr. Wickremaasinghe who said in the past that Hambantota is a swimming pool holding a cheque for 200\u00a0 odd million dollars.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister who claimed he will get 1 \u00bd Billion US$ received only 200\u00a0 odd million dollars.\u00a0 If Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa could come from Medamulana and make the Ports Authority to the status of a profit earning institution why can\u2019t the tie-coat wearing Prime Minister cannot do it?\u00a0 He cannot do things.\u00a0 There is no work and there is no result also. The Policy of this government is selling of state assets.<\/p>\n

It is the policy of this government to sell the state assets to cover day to day expenses and then come for elections and win them by bribing and making pay offs.\u00a0\u00a0 It is how the UNP had won elections from the very beginning.\u00a0 It was why the father of Mr. Prasanna Ranatunga the late Mr. Reggie Rnatunga fought with the UNP and dedicated himself to form a government of the commoners.<\/p>\n

The late leaders such as Mr. S.W.R.D..Bandaranaike and Mr. D.A.Rajapaaksa left the UNP because they could not accept the policies of the UNP. No person who is policy minded and hold on to principles cannot get on to a stage of the UNP.\u00a0 Today the SLFP has entered into an agreement with the UNP to run this government.\u00a0 In the meantime they are asking us also to come for an agreement.<\/p>\n

It is just like bringing another wife when there is a wife at home.\u00a0 How can we go for an agreement with a group that has entered into an agreement with the UNP? It will be similar to entering into an agreement with the UNP.\u00a0 Our grandfathers left the UNP because they could not agree with UNP policies.\u00a0 In this village all of you did politics against the UNP.<\/p>\n

Although it is possible for the JVP we cannot enter into agreements with the UNP.\u00a0 The JVP has also become a partner of the government.\u00a0 Now they say that two three persons in the joint opposition are against uniting with the government.\u00a0 We are not afraid of saying that and we are not indebted also.\u00a0 All the JO MPs here are against joining with the government.<\/p>\n

If they want to join with us let them quit the government and come to us. Let them discard the Minister posts and come out.\u00a0 There cannot be double games of staying with the UNP in the government and staying with us in the LG institutions.\u00a0 No possibility for hoppers theory.\u00a0\u00a0 If the are coming let them come straight.\u00a0 If ready to come as such so let us jointly fight with the UNP. It is useless thundering in the stages saying that we are opposed to the sale of Hambantota while holding the ministerial posts and remaining in the government..<\/p>\n

The gazette for making railways an essential service was brought through the wrong route.\u00a0 It should have been done through parliament.\u00a0 What was done was a suppression of the trade union rights.\u00a0 The President and the Minister of Transport Mr. Nimal Siripala de Silva represent the SLFP.\u00a0 Mr. Maithripala should hold responsibility for the chaos being faced by this country.<\/p>\n

The Treasury Bond Scam report was postponed by another one month.\u00a0 The President also should hold responsibility similar to the Prime Minister for this fraud.\u00a0 It was the President who made Arjun Mahendran the governor of the Central Bank and made the Central Bank to come under the Prime Minister.\u00a0 Today the King is from the Rajarata, but rice is being brought from overseas. Those days Ranil came out to the streets saying that rice for sixty and the country forward.\u00a0 Today rice is one hundred and twenty.<\/p>\n

Now steps are underway to bring rice and coconut from overseas.\u00a0 Now we have to eat coconut spending dollars.\u00a0 The sister who went to buy small cars travels home by bus without even having a bicycle.\u00a0 Mangala speaks about concessions and impose taxes.\u00a0 Mr. Duminda Dissanayake spends Rs. 25 million a month as rent for an unoccupied Ministry building for more than two years now. There is no point of participating in the budget debate.\u00a0 It will be the same budget that will be brought next year as well.<\/p>\n

Today people have to pay 40% of their earnings to the government as taxes.\u00a0 No harm of paying taxes even if a road at least is being built.\u00a0 That also does not happen. It was a country that had been the fastest developing country in Asia that has fallen into this status today.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was such a country that has been destroyed in this manner saying initiative was taken for a change.\u00a0 It is the responsibility of all of us to rescue this country.(end)<\/p>\n
