Since Maithreepala Sirisena was elected to the high post of the President of Sri Lanka some of us did \u00a0not speak well of the President. It was because he sold his mother political party to join a group of vindictive traitors led by the most unloved political leader of the UNP- Ranil Wickramasinghe, to be their common Presidential candidate to become a\u00a0 rival candidate against\u00a0 President Mahinda Rajapakse,\u00a0 after \u00a0erasing the memory of \u00a027 years or more of loyal , trusted political bond he had cultivated in a political party in which he \u00a0matured for 47 years since he was a young boy of 17 years.<\/p>\n

Maithripala Sirisena after he was elected President of Sri Lanka became fondly attached to Ranil Wickramasinghe first through his natural Sinhala Buddhist character of gratitude for having given him the chance to be the President of Sri Lanka, where as Mahinda Rajapakse to whom he was devoted as the President of the SLFP and companion in politics did not so much as made him the Prime Minister despite all the qualifications he had.<\/p>\n

President Maithripala Sirisena was so happy to accept Ranil Wickramasinghe as his friend.\u00a0 He made him his Prime Minister immediately after \u00a0taking oath as the President of Sri Lanka. All the UNP supporters were immensely pleased and accepted the President as \u00a0one of theirs and praised his goodness. Rajitha Senarathne, Mangala Samaraweera , Ravi Karunananayake , Chandrka Kumarathunga, JVP, the TNA and the rest were singing hosannas in praise of him.<\/p>\n

Sirisena provided \u00a0a chance for the UNP to come back to have political power again which they would have never got \u00a0through an election. Those who knew that it was an unholy alliance was most critical of Maithripala Sirisena, but others thought it was a chance for Sri Lanka to get away from a family rule to experience real democracy in action.<\/p>\n

Beside being a criminal of ill-famed Batalanda torture camps Ranil Wickramasinghe was thought of by his supporters as a \u00a0corruption free clean political wizard with a mindful of\u00a0 economic projects to make Sri Lanka the paradise of\u00a0 Asia.\u00a0 Some thought that with Ranil back in politics investments will \u00a0pour in from the Western countries which\u00a0 had been in the fore front for the regime change to take UNP back into \u00a0politics after 20 years of political isolation.<\/p>\n

There were a combination of political errors by President Mahinda Rajapakse and a perfect political strategy, perhaps put in place by the Western and Indian secret services, which helped fishing out Maithripala Sirisena from the President Mahinda Rajapaksa\u2019s own camp to make him the Presidential candidate of the opposition. They did not do that because of any love or for any special qualities they thought Maithripala Sirisena possessed to be the President , but they believed that an ordinary farmer\u2019s son would be na\u00efve, and could be made to dance to their tune if he is elected President. (Reminds one of the French\u00a0 film Le Dinner de Cons).<\/p>\n

President Maithripala Sirisena thrilled from the unexpected turn of events which made him \u00a0the President of Sri Lanka , \u00a0placed his entire \u00a0confidence on Ranil Wickramasinghe and the UNP, Rajitha Senaratne, Chandrika Kumaratunga and the rest, \u00a0without being aware of the secret political plot they were hatching behind his back, to make him their cat\u2019s paw to arrive at their objective of eventually make Ranil W as the Prime Minister take over the powers of an executive President.<\/p>\n

Maithripala Sirisena\u2019s\u00a0 critics blamed him for his endless foreign trips enjoying the benefits of power that had been thrust\u00a0 on him , allowing Ranil and his UNP Ministers to do what they want while he is away,\u00a0 enjoying the apparent friendly hospitality he received in various Western and other\u00a0 countries\u00a0 he visited\u00a0 invited by them and received by them \u00a0with great honour \u00a0acclaiming him as a\u00a0 saviour of democracy\u00a0 who has assured the human rights of the minorities in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Maithripala Sirisena was in the meantime made the President of the SLFP which he abandoned in November, 2015 to embrace his enemies providing them with political power which \u00a0had escaped\u00a0 them for a considerable period of time. Though the former President very generously relinquished his Presidency of the SLFP to the new President of Sri Lanka , it was not enough and far too \u00a0late for Mahinda Rajapakse to make it a gesture\u00a0 to set right his past error of not having accepted to make the General Secretary of the\u00a0 SLFP his Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

President Maithripala Sirisena was not ready to forgive his former\u00a0 chief and political companion for denying him the rightful place in the Government after his loyal service to the Party and the government\u00a0 for a considerable number of years. Therefore, President Sirisena would\u00a0 not allow Mahinda \u00a0Rajapakse to replace\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe as the Prime Minister \u00a0in the future, and did all he can to thwart the ambition of a defeated President to come back to power as the Prime Minister by winning the General election of August,2015.<\/p>\n

President Sirisena wrote to Mahinda Rajapakse that even if he were to win the elections by a majority at the general elections, he will not be made the Prime Minister as there were\u00a0 qualified seniors in the SLFP suitable to take that place.<\/p>\n

President Sirisena out to take revenge from Mahinda Rajapakse, became a close friend and confidant of\u00a0 his Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe. Ranil Wickramasinghe was in the meantime slowly and gradually grabbing the powers of the executive president and making himself powerful to openly defy the orders of President Sirisena, collecting around him\u00a0 money launderers, homosexuals, dentists of doubtful honesty, knaves who will do any thing to please him, sexually depraved Buddhist party leaders, un-socialist Marxists and even made a citizen of Singapore a friend of LTTE financier Raja Rajaratnam Arjun Mahendran his old pal from Royal College the Governor of the Central Bank.<\/p>\n

Finally when President appointed another Governor to the Central Bank, Ranil Wickramasinghe still employed the ex-Governor of the Central Bank Arjun Mahendrn\u00a0 as advisor to the Prime Minister.\u00a0 Ranil Stole the Central Bank with the Bond Scam\u00a0 assisted by \u00a0its Governor Arjun Mahendran and a year after the first, he staged another \u00a0Bond Scam of which not much is heard.<\/p>\n

These daylight robberies of the Central Bank made Ranil \u00a0and the UNP \u00a0immensely rich, rich \u00a0enough to make Temple Trees his private abode, and challenge the President to turn him out if he dares.\u00a0\u00a0 Ranil has the baking of the Western Embassies, India and apparently the Sri Lanka Judiciary as well.<\/p>\n

Ranil- the Prime Minister simply ignored \u00a0President Sirisena whose powers Ranil had reduced through the introduction of 19A to the Constitution, and started acting on his own without consulting the President. He signed a Contract of 1000 pages with Singapore and no one still knows what it contains. He then agreed with the Prime Minister of India Modi to sell the East Container terminal to India together with the Trincomalee Oil Tanks. Ranil sent his partner in Bank theft Arjun Mahendran to Singapore. He is being searched by the Sri Lanka CID in \u00a0Singapore where he apparently \u00a0remains invisible\u201d to investigators and even to the Interpol.<\/p>\n

Finally after three and a half years when a plot to assassinate the President and the former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse came to light, and DIG Nalaka Silva was proved by voice recordings revealed to the press as the man behind the assassination plot, and that the IGP was covering up DIG Nalaka Silva, President Maithripala realised that he had been duped through out the past three and a half years by Ranil Wickramasinghe\u00a0 and his gang of plotters. He realised that Ranil as his Prime Minister had been and is a greater danger, than Mahinda Rajapakse ever was.<\/p>\n

With that realisation,\u00a0 at the first opportunity he had to appoint another Prime Minister, when the UPFA section of the Yahapalanaya Government withdrew from the Yahapalanaya Cabinet of Ministers dissolving the coalition partnership of the Yahapalanaya, he called upon Mahinda Rajapakse who President Sirisena had earlier \u00a0thought was a rival to fear, but yet\u00a0 knew having worked with him that he is a reliable\u00a0 patriotic Sinhala Buddhist politician , to be his Prime Minister and \u00a0form a government together even at this late stage.<\/p>\n

That broke loose the hell under Ranil Wickramasinghe and his den of political plotters and thieves, who refused to give into the President and vowed \u00a0to replace the Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse and his Ministers sworn in by the President , by Ranil Wickramasinghe and his thieves and plotters of the UNP,\u00a0 TNA,JVP and JHU.<\/p>\n

But Ranil Wickramasinghe along with all his\u00a0 former Ministers- all of doubtful honesty\u00a0 including the Speaker of he House, TNA, JVP, and\u00a0 his other supporters are up in\u00a0 arms against the new Government of the President\u00a0 headed by the Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 and his cabinet of Ministers. Ranil Wickcramsinghe has become the hero of every one of them, \u00a0and they all want him back as the Prime Minister.\u00a0 Sajith Premadasa refused to lead the UNP vowing his loyalty to Ranil .<\/p>\n

This along with strange judgments given first by the Supreme Court and then by the Appeal Court,\u00a0 numerous unconstitutional decision and No Confidence motions\u00a0 passed in an illegally constituted Parliamentary sessions have challenged the Constitutional decisions taken by the President. The Courts have in extra ordinary judicial decisions ordered the Constitutionally sworn in Prime Minister and his Ministers to stop carrying out their official functions until a final decision is taken by the Courts in a future unmentioned date.<\/p>\n

Why do the UNP, JVP, TNA and the rest of the allied parties insist that they want Ranil Wickramasinghe back as the Prime Minister ? What is the catch, do they fear the consequences of another Government\u00a0 taking their place discovering \u00a0\u00a0their corrupt activities, and lay before the people evidence of their betrayal of the country by theft, complots, and hidden agreements with minority political parties such as TNA and JVP, with individuals , \u00a0and with other countries, or do they fear the revelation\u00a0 of the names of those who benefitted from the Bond Scams \u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n

They have to win over the Judiciary to hide their three and a half years of utter corrupt activities which have no equal.\u00a0 This reason\u00a0 for the\u00a0 desire to have Ranil Wickramasinghe and no other as the Prime Minister has no meaning unless there is some thing they have to hide at all cost which have\u00a0 not been\u00a0 revealed before. Is the Judiciary a party to this complots ? After all the case before them is not so complicated as the Courts seem to make it out, for them to take\u00a0 such a long period of time take a decision. Every thing seem to be cut an dry even some one with a brain the size of a pea nut\u201d will not take such a long time to understand and take a wise decision.<\/p>\n

As a \u00a0political figure Ranil Wickramasinghe has proved more than once that he has nothing that he himself can be proud of, nor has he done any thing that the country could be proud of him.<\/p>\n

Rajitha Senarathna swears he will not remain silent until Ranil Wickramasinghe is brought back as the \u00a0Prime Ministers, and made to sit \u00a0in Parliament, in the seat meant for the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

But why this craze for Ranil Wickramasinghe ?<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is a \u00a0criminal of the ill famed\u00a0 Batalanda torture camps, \u00a0where the Commission report\u00a0 points its finger at Ranil Wickramasinghe\u2019s role in the torture camp as questionable. Ranil Wickramasinghe \u00a0is a political coward beyond question as he willingly consented to sign a CFA prepared by Solheim and Prabhakaran without informing either the President, nor the Parliament, rather than carry out a military operation against terrorism, he even discouraged President Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s successful military operations against terrorism. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe was a traitor who ordered \u00a0the police to raid an army safe house \u00a0in Millenium City resulting in the assassination of\u00a0 army secret agents,\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe was a thief who organised the Central Bank Bond Scam having planted his agent as the Governor of the Central Bank. Ranil Wickramasinghe is a sly underhand dealer who secretly negotiated and signed a trade Agreement with Singapore without having informed the President or the Parliament.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is not a democrat\u00a0 but a cowered who would swim against the current when he is accused for wrong doings and failure of his government to keep promises made to the people. Ranil Wickramasinghe is a dictator in his own party not allowing any capable leader to arise to lead the Party despite its failure to keep intact the party\u2019s past reputation.\u00a0 He manipulates even the Parliament presenting a legislation, and changing it completely at the Committee Stage.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is such a slave of the west, he got\u00a0 his Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera at the Geneva Council Session to accept to sponsor\u00a0 along with\u00a0 America its\u00a0 Resolution against Sri Lanka Armed Forces for war crimes and violation of Human Rights.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is responsible for\u00a0 agreeing with TNA and the West\u00a0 to write a New Constitution to Sri Lanka removing the hitherto held special place for the protection of Buddhism, and allowing \u00a0to change the Name of Sri Lanka into Orimitta Nadu under \u00a0a \u00a0Federal System of Governance.<\/p>\n

Is this the man that UNP, TNA, JVP and the rest of the Tamil and Muslim Parties want to lead the Country as their Prime Minister ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The people do not want Ranil Wickramasinghe any more playing any political role inside the Parliament or outside of it. He is not an honourable man who would\u00a0 resign in the face of wide criticism. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Is he and his supporters prepared to face the people and know what the people think of them ?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Then resign and face an Election. The Judiciary is independent but it\u00a0 too should allow sovereignty of the voice of the people be\u00a0 heard ? <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
