The No Confidence Motion primarily has two purposes.\u00a0\u00a0Firstly to unseat the Prime Minister.\u00a0\u00a0Secondly to form the next government.<\/p>\n

UNSEATING THE PRIME MINISTER:<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW is a fighter.\u00a0\u00a0He became Prime Minister three times, but on two occasions, including the current tenure, he got into hot water.\u00a0\u00a0First time he lost his job.\u00a0\u00a0This time around he is on the knife edge. He is a shrewd, intelligent, cruel, unpatriotic leader.\u00a0\u00a0His masters are always\u00a0\u00a0foreign leaders.\u00a0\u00a0He is not a Buddhist in real sense.\u00a0\u00a0He is not a Sinhalese.\u00a0\u00a0He is not a Sri Lankan.\u00a0\u00a0To solve severe economic problems, he offers simple solutions.\u00a0\u00a0Last time as Prime Minister, he promised to give free ALERICS ICE CREAM to children.\u00a0\u00a0Most recently he promised\u00a0\u00a0WIFI.\u00a0\u00a0If RW continue as PM for another five years, more than half of Sri Lanka will be dominated by Muslims and Tamils.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Therefore, Joint Opposition must be respected for its hardwork on bringing NCM immediately after winning local elections, to bring the PM to the guillotine.<\/p>\n

JOINT OPPOSITION STRATEGY:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unseating RW is not the end of the disastrous political period for Sri Lanka.\u00a0\u00a0JO has already promised to support the appointment of a SLFP Prime Minister, but refrain from taking cabinet positions.\u00a0The public need to know whether JO has entered into an Agreement with the President for extending the support for a SLFP candidate, until next General or Presidential Elections and full disclosure of terms and conditions of the Agreement.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The JO must use its influence\u00a0\u00a0at this stage and offer only conditional support, within an agreed framework.\u00a0\u00a0These should include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Immediate suspension of any attempts to change the Constitution.\u00a0\u00a0This should be left alone for a future Mahinda Rajapakse lead regime;<\/li>\n
  2. Immediate release of Ranaviruwo, who had been\u00a0\u00a0under arrest;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    iii.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Removal of Sarath Fonseka\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and Jayampathi Wickremaratne as\u00a0\u00a0National List Members;<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Removal of Sambandan as Leader of Opposition by recognising Joint Opposition as a Recognised Political Party\u00a0\u00a0in the Parliament;<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Suspension of receipt of any further payments from China for the sale\u00a0\u00a0of Hambantota projects;<\/li>\n
    3. Nullify any agreements with United Nations\u00a0\u00a0on the formation of\u00a0\u00a0Hybrid Court.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It is imperative to involve President Sirisena to initiate this action, following a passage of a Special Resolution in the Parliament.\u00a0\u00a0It is not necessary to keep this matter pending for future MR government.<\/p>\n

      If\u00a0\u00a0Joint Opposition cannot obtain\u00a0\u00a0an Agreement on these matters ( and any other major issues), it is a far better solution to pass a Resolution to amend the Constitution to call for dissolution of the Parliament.<\/p>\n

      Above all, the Joint Opposition MUST NOT TRUST MAITHREEPALA SIRISENA.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
