The whole nation wants the President to declare the US Ambassador persona non grata<\/em> immediately as she is clearly and blatantly interfering with our domestic politics in which she has no business as a Diplomat. Only last week she visited Hambantota port with a CIA Agent and now it is followed by another visit to Palali in the North. \u00a0What the hell the Government is doing while these foreign Diplopmuts are nakedly fiddling with the domestic affairs of the country like this. Of cause no one can expects RW to do it as he may have even planned these visits<\/p>\n

Therefore the whole country wants the President to intervene and do this.<\/p>\n

Firstly, to arrest the ongoing mad war against Sri Lanka\u2019s independence and freedom by the Western and Indian Diplomuts who blatantly violate Diplomatic norms by nakedly interfering with the domestic matters of this country in this manner with impunity.<\/p>\n

Secondly, to teach a lesson to all foreign Diplomats as to how they should behave towards the countries not belonging to them. There should be an end to this Diplomatic nonsense.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, such action will prevent these diplomatic missions in Colombo who are working overtime to change the political destinies of Sri Lanka<\/p>\n

Fourthly, to stop their coming to dictate terms to you on anything in future in matters like appointment of Ministers, assigning subjects to Ministers in carrying out your legitimate duties under the Constitution of the country.<\/p>\n

I am sure his Secretary and advisors on foreign affairs can surely find enough precedents from other countries as examples and advice the President on this matter.<\/p>\n

I just quote two such instances from our own country.<\/p>\n

The late President J.R. Jayewardene who earned the sobriquet of Yankee Dickey did not hesitate to declare persona non grata Kenneth Munro Scott, the Political Officer of the US embassy in Colombo in 1982. He had made critical remarks on Sri Lanka\u2019s internal affairs.\u201d Similarly, in 1991, the then British High Commissioner David Gladstone was declared persona non grata by President Ranasinghe Premadasa for interfering in Sri Lanka\u2019s internal affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr President the ball is in your court. As such you ball them out before they do that to you in dire desperation as the situation is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Please remember what they did to Sadam Hussein in Iraque and Kernal Gadhaphi in Lybia. These Western enemies and the Indian Raw have no limits of crime and murders when it comes to issues that affect their interests. They even surpass all the Machiavellian and Kautilyan tactics of State craft to fulfill their neo-colonial sadistic goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
