Many of the scribes, local and foreign who write to English newspapers in Sri Lanka hold the opinion that Sri Lankans are damp squibs who still hold a white skin glotifying amglophile mindset.\u00a0 This vicious phenomenon has been erased to a great extent by scholarly Sinhala language writers who flood our newspapers and social media with articles inspired with patriotism.<\/p>\n

Dayan Jayatilleke who is an extremely treacherous, anti Sri Lamkan, pro tiger terrorist amd RAW agent used to write more than one article a week quoting some extremely irrelevant world history promoting divisions among Sri Lankans, devolution of unlimited powersto provinces, neo liberalism and the urgent need to implement more than what is stupilated in the ignominous 31st<\/sup> Amendment. Suddenly his articles ceased to appear and may believed that he has attained RIP which some people jokimgly refer to as rise if possible\u201d but to find that he had been clandestinely courting ignoramus inept and foreign slavish \u0dc0\u0dd0\u0da9 \u0db6\u0dd0\u0dbb\u0dd2. \u0db4\u0dbb\u0d9c\u0dd0\u0dad\u0dd2,Aappaya Sirisena to jump intp his band wagon and Sirisena nominating him as Sri Lanka\u2019s Ambassador to Russia. Despite High Post Committee\u2019s rejection of his nomination, the first time a nomination by the Preesident has been rejected Sirisena in his arrogant and dictatorial attitude has gone ahead with the appointment. Comments said that Jayatilleke represents the national interests\u201d that is more close to the President Maithripala Sirisena than the West-leaning foreign policy of Wickremesinghe.<\/p>\n

Historical facts point out that this Dayan Jayatilleke (DJ) like his father Mervyn de Silva well known as Andayaa has a chequered history behind him, becoming involved in extremist politics, founded with the Vikalpa Kandayama\u201d (Alternative Group) In the 1980s.\u00a0His group supported the Tamil militancy\u00a0and maintained that their actions were a war of national emancipation, and not terrorism.\u00a0Vikalpa Kandayama\u201d formed a close relationship with the EPRLF of Vartharajah Perumal, DJ serving as a Minister in his government fully endorsed his declaration of Tamil Elam\u201d in the North and East. Having being elected as Chief Minister Perumal said that Sri Lanka Army is not required in his Elam.\u00a0Vikalpa Kandayama was banned in 1986 and DJ, was\u00a0indicted<\/a> \u00a0in absentia, by the Colombo High Court on 14 counts comprising conspiracy to overthrow the state through violence.\u00a0In the meantime, DJ gone into hiding, spenT two years underground in Sri Lanka and one year in India.\u00a0He was then pardoned by\u00a0President<\/a>\u00a0J. R. Jayewardene<\/a>. Perumal fled to India.<\/p>\n

At Peradeniya he was a member of two radical groups – the Lanka Samaja Adhyayana Kavaya (Lanka Social Studies Circle) and Samaja Adhyayana Kavaya. Later,.<\/sup>\u00a0whilst at Binghamton he was involved with solidarity movements in support of El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Jayatilleka has been married three times.. <\/sup>He first married a\u00a0Burgher<\/a>\u00a0woman called Margreet and then Pulsara Liyanage. \u00a0He is currently married to an accountant and writer Sanja de Silva. He returned to Sri Lanka in 1982 to observe the\u00a0presidential election<\/a> but, having gotten involved in militant Sri Lankan politics, never returned to Binghamton and dropped out.<\/p>\n

He then joined the Sri Lanka Mahajana Pakshaya and after its leader\u00a0Vijaya Kumaratunga<\/a>\u00a0was assassinated became a member of the party\u2019s central committee.\u00a0Chandrika Kumaratunga whom he now calls federalist was the leader of the party after Vijaya\u2019s assassination. She adopted the same policy on devolution even at that time. After that this multi tongued chameleon became a prominent supporter of President\u00a0Premadasa, serving him as his advisor from 1989 to 1993.. He then abandoned his radical beliefs and became a prominent and docile supporter of Premadasa serving as his advisor from 1989 to 1993. It was reported that this chameleon extensvely assisted Premadasain his honeymoon with LTTE terrorists and also played a major role in suppressing youth rebellion in the South during 1987 1989 period which resulted in more thn 60,000 deaths. \u00a0He was Director of Conflict Studies at the Institute of Policy Studies (1990\u201394) and executive director of the Premadasa Centre (1994-2000). When the funeral of Lt.General Hector Kobbekaduwa, whose death is believed to have been stage managed by Premadasa through LTTE, was held at Colombo Kanatte people attending the funeral pelted Dayan with stones and he saved his life by running away naked.He was also editor of\u00a0Lanka Guardian<\/em>, the journal founded by his father, from 1996 to 1998.. He received a\u00a0PhD<\/a>degree from the\u00a0Griffith University<\/a>\u00a0in 2007 after writing a\u00a0thesis<\/a>\u00a0titled\u00a0The Moral Sierra Maestra: The Moral-Ethical Dimension of the Political Thought of Fidel Castro.<\/p>\n

His crowning glory was shielding Sri Lanka from\u00a0denunciation\u00a0by the UNHRC for\u00a0alleged human rights violations<\/a>\u00a0during the final stages of the\u00a0War in 2009, due to the backing he received from the socialist bloc countries.. He had been appointed for a two-year term but when his contract expired in June 2009 President\u00a0Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/a>\u00a0extended his contract until June 2010.\u00a0 His glory was short lived, when on 17 July 2009 the Foregn Ministry told him by fax to relinquish duties and return to Colombo on 20th<\/sup>\u00a0August\u201d.\u00a0According to him no reason was given for his sacking but he claimed that it was because of his extensive support for the implementation of the 13th<\/sup> Amendment.<\/p>\n

Comments made against him by various publications and organizations and his criyicisms and comments on various organizations and individuals follows:<\/p>\n

Condemnation by Lanka E News, the pro UNP website<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lanka E News (LEN) reprted on 20th<\/sup> July 2018 that for the first time , the parliamentary committee on \u00a0high posts \u00a0decided to question \u00a0\u00a0President Sirisena an appointment made by him , in respect of the appointment of notorious political opportunist cum infamous traitor Dayan Jayatileke ( a confirmed \u00a0traitor because , when Varatharaja Perumal who was the Northeast Chief Chief Minister declared a separate government , Jayatileke who was in that cabinet\u00a0 most shamelessly accepted and acknowledged\u00a0 it)\u00a0 \u00a0being appointed as \u00a0ambassador to Russia by the president.<\/p>\n

LEN said that when the parliamentary committee by virtue of the powers vested in the select committee Jayatileke was summoned before it members of the select committee explained the objections raised by the organizations and the charges against Jayatileke when the\u00a0 \u00a0\u2018nutty Jayatilleke of a rare obnoxious breed dismissed it saying\u2018 what is told by the civil organizations cannot be taken into consideration\u2019<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

DJ\u2019s comments on Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In his Daily Mirror article WHAT\u2019S NEXT & WHO\u2019S NEXT AFTER YAHAPALANAYA, dated 35th<\/sup> April, 2018 he said that Mahinda Rajapaksa himself is easily the most outstanding, mature and experienced political and national leader we have — \u00a0a truly historic and appealing figure. As do most voters I would dearly like to see him as the leader of the country once more, and I definitely think he is the safest choice<\/h3>\n

Writng to Island on 13th<\/sup> April 2018, he said that Mahinda is the head of a formation which not only has the largest number of seats in the opposition but more importantly, beat both the UNP and the SLFP to emerge the island\u2019s largest political entity at its electoral debut under a new symbol. His formation even did better than SWRD Bandaranaike\u2019s SLFP\/MEP did in 1956, which was the second, not the first, election it faced!<\/p>\n

Comments on Chandrika<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest loser in Sri Lankan politics is Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. The daughter of two Prime Ministers and a former two-term President, she was on top of the world when she succeeded in ousting her arch rival Mahinda Rajapaksa in January 2015. And look where she and Mahinda are now.<\/p>\n

Chandrika not only failed to prevent the SLFP-UPFA from soliciting and accepting Mahinda\u2019s leadership at the parliamentary election campaign of August 2015, she also failed to prevent the majority of SLFP MPs from staying with Mahinda and rejecting her brainchild, the so-called national Unity government in the aftermath of that parliamentary election.<\/p>\n

Now she has scored a hat-trick of political failure. She has failed to prevent a second split in the SLFP, this time in the minority faction that had remained in government; a split that has carried the overwhelming number of seniors in the party\u2019s Central Committee into Opposition, turning their face against CBK\u2019s line. She has failed to convince even her nominee President Sirisena who had rebutted her line of argument about January 2015. What an utterly dismal performance for the heiress of the Bandaranaike political real estate and fortune!<\/p>\n

Worse still she is an unsuccessful prop of a UNP under a rightwing neoliberal leadership, while she was earlier a bitter opponent of the UNP under President Premadasa, a populist who was the closest to the line of SWRD\u2019s SLFP ever to emerge within the UNP\u2014and a man with whom Chandrika\u2019s charismatic and progressive husband, Vijaya Kumaratunga had a political dialogue and an equation! So Chandrika rejected the UNP when it was under progressive, patriotic leadership but embraced it when it came under the most rightwing, pro-imperialist leadership ever! It is as if SWRD Bandaranaike supported a coalition government with Sir John Kotelawela\u2019s UNP, instead of overthrowing it!<\/p>\n

Self imposed Security threat<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a part of his hypocratic bluffing and in order to project himself as a person with security threats he wrotethat the the iconic father of Sri Lanka\u2019s Special Forces and the LRRP, Gen Gamini Hettiarachchi, sent VVIP commando security for him on those annual occasions where he was a designated lecturer at the joint programme between the US Special Forces and a selected 40 men of the Sri Lankan Special Forces. He said that when he asked Gen Hettiarachchi who was the Commandant of the institution that hosted the programme, why he had wasted VVIP Commandos on his security, his answer was that the military has a good assessment of the LTTE\u2019s assessment of him and that whatever he does in his own time was his business but when he was a guest of the Sri Lankan armed forces, he was their responsibility and had to be accorded a degree of security that was commensurate with the threat assessment. Hefurther stated that US Charge d\u2019Affaires at the Permanent Mission in Geneva, later US Ambassador to Kenya, Mark Storella walking him to his official car in Geneva, opening the door graciously and asked him the vehicle was bullet-proofed, and when h laughingly said “no”, he said “but it should be\u2026you are under a greater threat than any one of us here\u2026you have a security threat from the Tigers!”<\/p>\n

On Sinhala Nationalist Civil Societies<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The increasing ascendancy\u2013 not the coming into being–of Sinhala ultranationalist civil society is due precisely to the disgustingly anti-national stands of the cosmopolitan liberals. Just as Sinhala Only was enthroned in the context of social revulsion towards the culture (and foreign policy) of the UNP of Sir John Kotelawela, today\u2019s ultranationalist civil society groups surf the broad revulsion among the masses to the unpatriotic postures of the neoliberal democrats. It is a classic backlash.<\/p>\n

He said that he us accused by the civil society \u2018activists\u2019 of being opposed to Reconciliation and added tha he is certainly opposed to a lop-sided policy of reconciliation which has resulted in Black Tiger Day, the day of the suicide terrorists who blew up Rajiv Gandhi, Ranasinghe Premadasa, Gamini Dissanayake and Neelan Tiruchelvam to name just a few, being openly commemorated in the North! He said that no society anywhere in the world which would tolerate the open commemoration of a terrorist suicide bomb squad within its own internationally recognized and legitimate borders. This brand of appeasement pushed by civil society has derailed the necessary project of reconciliation, and instead resulted in a burning desire in the Sinhala majority areas to see a leader who will crack down decisively on the theatrics of terror. With the ban on Mahinda Rajapaksa running for the Presidency, this has resulted in the default option of an Alt-Right candidacy.<\/p>\n
