Ending the Balagiri Doshaya\u201d, No Confidence Motion (NCM) against the PM Ranil Wickramasinghe has handed over to the speaker by Joint Opposition. Credit should go to the MP Udaya Gammanpila for his tireless efforts to make this NCM a reality. According to Mr. Gammanpila\u2019s own words, this is a Win Win\u201d motion, irrespective of the outcome (Dinuwath Dinum, Peradunath Dinum\u201d).<\/p>\n

According to the news reports, this NCM contains 14 allegations against the PM Ranil Wickramasinghe and 13 out of 14 allegations are based on the Central Bank bond scam. These include allegations such as paving the way for the bond scam by removing the Central Bank from the finance ministry and placing it under the PM, appointing Arjun Maheandran who is a non- citizen of Sri Lanka for the position of Governor of the Central Bank, protecting Arjun Mahendran, misleading parliament, excreting pressure on COPE members etc, etc. When look at these allegations, even a kid in grade ten can understand that a person like Ranil Wickramasinghe is not suitable for the position of the PM in Sri Lanka. Because of this NCM, a golden opportunity has arisen for the true representatives of the people of Sri Lanka to chase this cunning PM away from the premiership. Also, it will be a great opportunity for the electorate to understand the true colour of their representatives.<\/p>\n

Most of the credit for fighting to the end for bringing the bond scam to the public domain should go to the COPE chairman, JVP member MP Sunil Handunnetthi. However, the recent comments from the JVP leader MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake about the NCM were not very impressive. Knowingly Rajapakse supporters are behind the NCM, Anura Kumara wanted to see the inclusion of inability of the PM to make Rajapakses guilty for the so-called frauds happened during the previous administration as an allegation in the NCM. This reminds the Sinhala saying Nokerena wedakamata konduru thel hath pattayak ona kiyanawa wage\u201d.<\/p>\n

Yahapalana government had more than two years to find out the frauds (if there were any) done by Rajapakses. Yahapalanaya rulers tried their best and even with the assistance of their international big brothers, they found nothing except the Sil Redi case against a couple of poor public servants.\u00a0 If stealing the public money took place, that was not only during the Rajapakse administration, it would have happened during the era of J R Jayewardene and even beyond. So, there is no point of demanding to add a clause to find out about the possible frauds which happened only during the Rajapakse regime for the current NCM. \u00a0It is ridiculous to ask for a pound of flesh\u201d to vote for this no confidence motion which is based on the Central Bank bond scam already proved in front of a Presidential commission.<\/p>\n

PM Ranil Wickramasinghe tried his best to put the investigations of the Central Bank bond scam under the carpet. Luckily, this was prevented by the COPE, chaired by the JVP member MP Sunil Handunnetthi. So, if the JVP is going to vote against or abstain from voting for this NCM, it will be recorded in the history as the worst betrayal by JVP under the leadership of MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake.<\/p>\n

April is a very important month for the JVP. It is the month of remembrance for them. This historical no confidence motion against PM Ranil Wickramasinghe will be debated and voted on April 4th<\/sup>. If the JVP is going to vote against or abstain from voting for this motion, Anura Kumara and his clan should celebrate their next Ilmaha Samaruwa\u201d naked. Hope, it will not happen.<\/p>\n
