10.7 2018.<\/p>\n

An open questionnaire for all those who are seriously concerned about the destiny of our motherland<\/p>\n

I have been repeatedly asking this question from October 2015. In fact I posed this question along with the following list to a public audience at Nugegoda in October 2015 where the following speakers were also present. Dr Harischandara Wijetunga, Dr Gunadasa Amarasekara, Rear Admiral (EX) Sarath Weerasekara and DR Nath Amarakoon among many other distinguished persons. There was no response from the audience for some time, perhaps looked surprised and puzzeled.<\/p>\n

I give below the other questions I paused.<\/p>\n

2 Is there a President in this country<\/p>\n

3 Is there a Prime Minister in this country<\/p>\n

4\u00a0 Is there a Parliament in this country<\/p>\n

5 Is there a Speaker in Parliament\u00a0 in this country\u00a0 Speaker in Parliament\u00a0 in this country<\/p>\n

6 Is there a Leader of opposition in Parliament\u00a0 in this country<\/p>\n

7 Is there any Public service in this country<\/p>\n

8 Is there any Public Servant in this country<\/p>\n

9 Is there any Governance, leaving out any good Governance in this country<\/p>\n

There was dead silence and no response at all. Then I said my speech ends there and sat down. Then suddenly a young man sprung to his feet and sarcastically said in Sinhala “Ai oye tiyenne<\/em>” which generally means NO. I was happy at least one person has got my message<\/p>\n

There after I elaborated my nine questions one by one for about 45 minutes. It got a rousing welcome and many persons met me after the speech and congratulated me propusely.<\/p>\n

But nothing followed. No action taken by the organizers thereafter.<\/p>\n

The situation remains unchanged even now although Today it is worse than then<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
