When Ravi Karunanayaka was found jabbering and telling blatant lies at the Bond Scam investigation commission, his parliamentary colleagues were trying to safe guard him by requesting him to resign. Opposing the move the Swarna Hansa Foundation by a leaflet distributed throughout Colombo, requested the people, resignation? no way, he has to be punished and recover the plundered public money.<\/p>\n

When parliamentarians tried to safe guard Prime Minister the Prime Conspirator and the main culprit of the whole issue, by having a no confidence motion, it was the Swarna Hansa Foundation that said, no way, the entire parliament which has turned out to be a sheer shameless and unbridled plundering house of national wealth, has to be put on hold, and take all parliamentarians into custody, for plundering as well as aiding and abetting plunder national wealth, and to have a Presidential rule.<\/p>\n

Letters began to appear in the public opinion columns, in the press lamenting about the sorry situation in the government and the country. Highly concerned patriots were asking those on authority, who is fooling who? fooling the people for how long? Reminding the quotation from Abraham Lincoln one time the President of United States, that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time, but you can\u2019t fool all the people all the time.\u201d Another concerned patriot, being unable to tolerate corruption of parliamentarians any more was seen sending a public warning that days of the corrupt are numbered.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dew Gunasekara highly concerned with the grave situation is asking the Parliament, the very corrupt institution to cleanse it. It is another desperate attempt mislead the people and save his parliamentary colleagues, and the Parliament from where he is getting his pension. As one editorial said DEW is whistling in the dark. The peoples\u2019 understanding is it cannot be cleansed, it is a cesspit. All those so-called members of it are worms. Living on it, dining dancing playing and finally dying in it. There cannot be a question of cleansing it or restoring it at all.<\/p>\n

As each passing day, some sort of plundering, robbing or syphoning of public money by parliamentarians is revealed. Adding insult to the injury to the victimized people, these parliamentarian worms are jabbering and trying to keep on fooling the people, as if general public are all fools, and utter fools. The most annoying aspect of it is these fellows who have robbed the peoples\u2019 money are coming out to public surrounded by security guards maintained by public money, to fool the very people whose money have been robbed. It is in this situation, when the limit of patience, and discipline of the public is fast disappearing, that somebody writing to the media has said days of the gang are numbered.<\/p>\n

It is in order to avert the worst, that Swarna Hansa Foundation is again requesting the President to immediately put on hold the Parliament, establish a Presidential rule, recover all national wealth plundered by sitting parliamentarians at least, for the start and punish them. Money recovered thus will be quite sufficient to run the administration with no additional taxes. No doubt the whole country will be with the President.<\/p>\n
