The excellent political analysis done by Mr. N.A.DE S. Amaratunga under the above titled , appeared in The Island <\/em>dated 17 June 2018 (http:\/\/island.lk\/index.php?page_cat=article-details&page=article-details&code_title=186475<\/a>) \u00a0is an I opener to the people who can sense the perilous situation the country is in under the present Sirisena \u2013 Ranil regime.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amarathunga, while analyzing positives and negatives of MR, concluded his analysis saying The country at this perilous moment in its history is fortunate to have a leader with Rajapaksa’s stature, proven ability, and patriotic love for the country, and courage to resist imperialist pressure and above, all people’s wide acceptance and love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to the positives pointed out by the writer, in my view, there is a hidden reason for MR to be the most popular person\/leader at present while the popularity of all his leading opponents are fading away rapidly.<\/p>\n

MR never criticizes his political opponents, directly, the way his opponents do in public. He never insults his opponents in public the way his opponents do. His expressions, while addressing the public, do not give any sign of taking revenge while his opponents do the other way.<\/p>\n

Although all most all his opponents call him hora\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, we have not heard him calling even\u00a0 his main opponents \u00a0\u00a0(who are well known \u2018hor<\/strong>as\u2019<\/em>) as \u2018hor<\/strong>as\u201d.\u00a0 One example cited by Mr Amarathunga is incidence of the parliamentarians of the government which robbed its own bank call him “Rajapaksa hora\u201d <\/em><\/strong>while the prime minister, under whose watch the Central Bank functioned when it was robbed, asks in parliament “kavuda hora<\/em><\/strong>?”<\/p>\n

In addition to the negatives pointed out by the writer, in my view, MR failed to recognize his true enemies who were active around him while in power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
