Maithripala Sirisena \u00a0became the traitor to SLFP when he walked away to join the UNP and other reactionary forces in November, 2014. He is therefore entirely \u00a0\u00a0responsible for the\u00a0 damage he allowed the enemies \u00a0to cause to\u00a0 Sri Lanka \u00a0in a matter of \u00a03 years.<\/p>\n

To-day with Sirisena at its helm, Sri Lanka with its \u00a02600 years of history, its culture nurtured\u00a0 in Buddhism since the 3rd<\/sup> Century BCE \u00a0remains doomed to be communally disunited, territorially separated, and culturally destroyed, with its unique Buddhist identity lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The people of Sri Lanka had rejected the destructive politics of UNP for thirty years until Maithripala became a traitor to his political party SLFP, to join the UNP and un-Constitutionally appoint Ranil Wickramasinghe the leader of UNP, the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka on the 9th<\/sup> January,2015.<\/p>\n

To-day Sirisena is being deeply praised\u201d by the enemies of\u00a0 Sri Lanka,for his .. commitment to achieve reconciliation and sustainable peace while ensuring democracy and freedom in Sri Lanka\u201d(Modi), when exactly the \u00a0opposite is what Sirisena has achieved for Sri Lanka. His blind assent for reconciliation has only allowed separatist Tamil politicians to move towards achieving their objective to establish two all Tamil provinces, destabilizing peace and security in the whole of Sri Lanka with a possible resurgence of terrorism.<\/p>\n

They say that children always expect so much from their parents, but do they the children ask themselves\u00a0 what they have given in return \u00a0to their parents ? Like wise let us ask\u00a0 Maithripala Sirisena \u00a0how much he got from the SLFP and from his motherland \u2013Sri Lanka,\u00a0 and what\u00a0 has he\u00a0 contributed \u00a0in return to the SLFP and Sri Lanka, after his nocturnal ambulation \u00a0away from SLFP \u00a0in to the arms of destructive political forces in November, 2015 ? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sirisena has got everything for himself\u00a0 both from SLFP and from Sri Lanka, but after 8th<\/sup> January,2015, \u00a0he has destroyed and desecrated \u00a0every thing he had\u00a0 touched. The SLFP is in shamble, Sri Lanka since he became President\u00a0 has changed unrecognizably. He has desecrated Sri Lanka as a Nation by allowing the National anthem to be sung in two languages. He began the backward\u00a0 journey by \u00a0stopping the development projects immediately after his election. He elected an unpopular political leader as the Prime Minister, He appointed a non citizen as the Governor of the Central bank and allowed the Bank to be robbed twice.<\/p>\n

Sirisena \u00a0has almost separated the North and East from the rest of the country, and allowed Tamil extremists to have their own way. \u00a0He has taken away security and protection of the country and the people, by closing down many Army Camps in the North and East. He has allowed the Heroic officers of the Armed Forces who fought against terrorism and brought back the lost peace and security to the country to be humiliated, arrested and\u00a0\u00a0 imprisoned.<\/p>\n

Sirisena \u00a0has separated the Communities as\u00a0 it \u00a0had never been done before. He develops Polonnaruwa and the North and East while he allows Harbours, airports and land in the South to be sold or given on long lease. He has allowed Sri Lanka to go bankrupt and he puts the nation in danger by allowing the Setting up of an Office of Missing Persons, and allowed sponsoring an American Resolution against the Armed forces of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

He has \u00a0allowed many laws to be passed in the Parliament that enable any country in the world to arrest any Army personnel retired or serving for war crimes if he is found in any foreign country on a simple accusation by any one, that he has committed war crimes.<\/p>\n

He allowed the UNP which \u00a0was rejected by the people for thirty years to set up a UNP Government under the pseudonym Yahapalanaya. He has completely lost control of his Prime Minister, who has signed a devastating Trade Agreement with Singapore, and negotiate other\u00a0 disastrous Trade Agreements with India .<\/p>\n

So what has Sri Lanka gained from having elected Maithripala Sirisena as the President of Sri Lanka ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srisena is also helping the enemies of Sri Lanka to write a Federal Constitution. It is the MP Abraham Sumanthiran the Christian Tamil, perhaps to clear his guilt of not being a Hindu, is the prime mover of the writing of the New Constitution, which\u00a0 is supported by America and the West, \u00a0and \u00a0opposed by the Sinhala Majority.<\/p>\n

Sirisena who prides himself for \u00a0his supposed to have \u00a0resolved the\u00a0 fear of an electric chair\u201d by making then enemies of Sri Lanka his friends, is ignorant that those Western Countries and India are only using him to achieve their objective of dividing\u00a0 Sri Lanka both Communally and territorially,\u00a0 weakening it to make it a dependent State, allowing to use Sri Lanka\u2019s strategic position to their advantage..<\/p>\n

Sirisena is ignorant that Yahapalanaya is only a pseudonym for a Government\u00a0 run by a Prime Minister \u00a0assuming \u00a0dictatorial powers, with the Parliament, police and the judiciary well under his control, with a President only to give it a democratic face. <\/strong><\/p>\n

While President Sirisena\u00a0 stands for democracy and freedom, his Prime Minister organised Bank robberies first on 27 February,2015, and the second in 25 March 2016, sold harbours and airports, signed \u00a0agreements without the consent of the President or the Parliament. And now \u00a0the UNP MPs shout from roof tops that there \u00a0is democracy in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

While President Sirisena\u00a0 is\u00a0 globe trotting, Sri Lanka looses its historical i<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the Tamils do not want to reconcile with the Sinhala, but\u00a0 want only\u00a0\u00a0 separation from the rest of\u00a0 the Communities in Sri Lanka to have two Tamil only Provinces. But what do the Tamils-the Tamil politicians give to the Sinhala Community in return for Sirisena\u2019s blind acts for an expected\u00a0 reconciliation\u00a0 of\u00a0 the Tamil Community\u00a0 with the Sinhala Community.<\/p>\n

For some time now Sirisena is determined to hang drug dealers, he even requested the member states at the BIMSTEC Summit\u00a0 in Nepal to rally round to fight against drug dealers, But no drug dealer has been hanged as yet.\u00a0 It will be like his setting up of Commissions of Investigations. He gets the Commission reports and thereafter who knows what would happen.\u00a0 He also asked\u00a0 the BIMSTEC member States to unite to fight against poverty, which in Sri Lanka has increased since he took over the Presidency of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

While Sirisena prays at Lumbini, Buddhism in Sri Lanka is being battered from all sides- the Buddhist Judges, the Buddhist police men, hasten to imprison yellow robed Buddhist Monks. While extremist racist Tamil politicians, and the interfering West, hasten to demand the removal of the Article 9 on the protection of Buddhism, from the Constitution of Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Electing Maithripala Sirisena as the President was a great disaster to Sri Lanka, causing irreparable damage to a peaceful and secure country he found on the 8 January,2015 when he was unfortunately for Sri Lanka\u00a0\u00a0 elected\u00a0 as its President. The external debt in 2015 had been around 44 billion dollars, which is around 54 billion dollars in 2018.<\/p>\n

How can we redress Sri Lanka in this most regrettable situation in which\u00a0 it finds itself today ? <\/strong><\/p>\n

We should have a political leader with experience and a vision to bring back Sri Lanka from the abyss it has been\u00a0 pushed into by Maithripala Sirisena as its President.\u00a0 There may be new people with new ideas, saying that the old politicians should be discarded\u00a0 and new men with constructive new ideas put in place.<\/p>\n

But we learn from other great nations that people still seek the old veterans to the young and bright. In China , people have declared Xi Jinping a President for life, Malaysia has brought back Mahathir Mohamad its 92 year old former Prime Minister to lead the country once again.<\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapakse was the only President of Sri Lanka after its independence that showed he has the ability to change Sri Lanka, releasing it from fear and insecurity to peace and security and develop it to a middle income status. His government took loans, built roads, ports, airports, hospitals, schools and all that a developed country should have, and kept paying loans regularly. The IMF Commended his government for good financial management.<\/p>\n

It was the UNP with the instructions received from the CIA, IMF and India RAW that created the slogan that Rajapaksa Regime is a family affair, and they and their supporters robbed the people. It was all a false story to discredit Mahinda Rajapakse . But Sri Lanka today\u00a0 needs Mahinda Rajapakse back in saddle with his Mahinda Chintanaya, as it is the only man\u00a0 with a vision who could restitute Sri Lanka to what it was before Maithripala Sirisena, from\u00a0 its present sad politically distressing condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore it is Mahinda Rajapakse and all those who are around him that should be back in saddle in Sri Lanka to bring back Sri Lanka to what it had been before Maithripala Sirisena was elected President on the 8th<\/sup> January,2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n

dentity with his so called independent judiciary condemning Buddhist monks for contempt of\u00a0 court or for damage to public property. The judges stick to court rules that have come down from the British and have \u00a0lost the respect they\u00a0 historically owe\u00a0 to Buddhism\u00a0 and the Buddhist Monks, who had been and are the guarding angels of Sri Lanka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And all that, \u00a0while a UNP MP and a Minister who in a public meeting\u00a0 calls for the resurgence of Tamil terrorism has not been \u00a0arrested for making seditious statements.<\/p>\n

The NPC passes a resolution demanding the establishment of\u00a0 International Courts with foreign judges and its Chief Minister\u00a0 calls the Central Government not to settle Sinhala people in Tamil provinces. All that is happening while Sirisena in the name of reconciliation closes Military Camps and distributes land back to their owners in the North and East. \u00a0He fears to get arrested Wigneswaran, Sivajiganeshan or Vijayakala because he thinks it would be a threat to reconciliation. He upholds his Prime Ministers decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
