Chandrika white-washing her past crimes with lies
Posted on July 24th, 2016
Colombo, 24 August, (Asiantribune.com):
Oddly enough Chandrika Kumaratunga told the media how good she was as president after meeting two Tamil MPs Mano Ganeshan and TNA MP Suresh Premachandran at her residence yesterday. (File Photo)
In her latest interview to the media she state that there were only one or two abductions during her tenure and those responsible were brought to book after thorough investigations.”
Victor Ivan had pointed out that Chandrika Kumaratunga’s goons were responsible for the killing of Kumar Ponnambalam, the head of the All-Ceylon Tamil Congress. Oddly enough she told the media how good she was as president after meeting two Tamil MPs Mano Ganeshan and TNA MP Suresh Premachandran at her residence yesterday. These two Tamil MPs had swallowed the line sold by Kumaratunga without raising any questions about the death of Ponnambalam and other killings and violations of human rights during her regime.
Political commentators also remember how women in the opposition party, UNP, were stripped naked and forced to march on the streets when she was President. She also terrorised leading UNPers like Sirisena Cooray, Secretary-General of the UNP, and Bodhi Ranasinghe, a leading UNP organizer. Both were persecuted by her on bogus charges. Cooray was kept under house arrest and Ranasinghe had to flee the country to prevent her goons from attacking him.
Now she has promised the two Tamil MPs that she will take up human rights violations, disappearances and extra-judicial killings in the appropriate fora.
In the meantime, her sidekick, Mangala Samaraweera, former Minister of Aviation who delayed Air Lanka flights just to accommodate Chandrika Kumaratunga who was always late when she was president, is threatening street marches against the JVP to force them to quit the Mahinda Rajapakse alliance.
This former dress designer is desperate to bring down the government because he has promised to do so to his new political ally, Ranil Wickremesinghe. His two-man SLFP (M) wing has joined Wickremesinghe in the UNP who is plagued with desertions from his ranks into the Rajapakse government. This new political alliance is called the National Congress. Critics have named it as the Anti-National Congress” because of its pro-LTTE program of handing over territory to the one-man regime in the Vanni.
Samaraweera is pushing the JVP to join the Anti-National Congress” after he left the Rajapakse government which refused to give him the ministerial portfolio of his choice. He left the government with the former Minister Sripati Sooriaratchi and is making a desperate bid to bring down the government which he helped to create.
Ranil Wickremesinghe is dependent on him to bring over other SLFPers from the government to form a government with him as the Prime Minister. Samaraweera says that he has all the SLFPers except 12 and is pushing the JVP to join his Anti–National Congress”. Political observers are baffled as to why he needs the 32 JVPers when he has all the other SLFPers waiting to cross over.
JVP refuses to join the Anti-National Congress” of Wickremesinghe and Samaraweera. The Marxist JVPers were traditionally opposed to the right-wing UNP.
The Government is confident that the bluff of Samaraweera and Wickremesinghe threatening to bring down the government will not work. Wickremesinghe has been doing this each time he loses election. Now Mangala Samaraweera has started the same game with Wickremesinghe.
They have been joined by Chandrika Kumaratunga, who was described as The Queen of Thieves” by Victor Ivan. Her critics say that the only thing that has changed is her hair style. She has cut hair short. But her critics say that this is not going to improve her brains.

Mangala must be replaced by a patriotic foreign minister. Actually Ranil, Sirisena, CBK traitors must be replaced too. However Mangala must be replaced as soon as possible. A country’s government should first and foremost look after the country’s security. sovereignty, territorial integrity and in the case of a small country such as Sri Lanka its unitary status. Mangala has betrayed Sri Lanka by accepting the UNHRC resolution which no country with any integrity will accept. Mangala must realise that those LTTE terrorists who massacred the citizens of this country for over 26 years simply because they wanted a large chunk of this island for themselves, illegally, that they should be dealt with in a very careful manner without betraying the security. sovereignty, territorial integrity and in the case of a small country such as Sri Lanka its unitary status, even if extremely powerful forces such as the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India are behind the LTTE terrorists. In addition, we must place forth the argument that those who settled in the island quite recently only during the past few hundred years i.e. the Sri Lankan Tamils who are only but 11.2% of the population do not have any rights whatsoever to demand over 28% of the land area, 66% of the coastline and 66% of the vast ocean resources which belong to Sri Lanka. This message should be conveyed to the TNA, the separatist terrorists and those who support them i.e. the US,UK, EU, Canada, Sweden, Norway and India as soon as possible so that they understand our position. This is the task of a foreign minister. Mangala therefore has betrayed Sri Lanka and must go. Sri Lanka cannot afford large self ruling entities which are illegal anyway since this island as a whole belong to all its people in total. It is the foreign minister’s task to covey this message to everyone concerned.

Sumanthiran, like other supporters of Tamil separatism, begin their accusations against the Sinhala majority only with the assaults against the Tamil Community in the South.
They conveniently forget that the violence deliberately INITIATED by the Tamil Separatists YEARS BEFORE THAT with hit-and-run raids against Sinhala officials, Sinhala civilians and government facilities.
He forgets to mention that it took nearly 3 years of such murder and mayhem by his beloved “boys”, who the entire Tamil Community …. even in Colombo … quietly applauded, for the pot to finally boil over in July, 1983 when the bodies of those dead soldiers were brought to Colombo.
I applaud INSTEAD the restraint and patience shown by the Sinhala people up to July, 1983 and thereafter over a 30 year period when there was no such violence. Although I also condemn the violence of the July riots, I completely understand the reasons it took place, and the CULPABILITY of Tamil Leaders of the time in not rallying around the Nation to CONDEMN & PREVENT their own people from engaging on violence that triggered it.
They did not do that, and by their SILENCE & INACTION showed that they too shared and supported the RACIST TAMIL SEPARATIST SENTIMENT that soon grew into a full blown civil war …. with horrendous consequences for the three major communities of Sri Lanka.
They believed THEN, as they do NOW, that they can have their own separate Tamils-only cake in Sri Lanka, and eat a share of the Sinhala cake too. They thought that with Indian support they could demolish the Sinhala armed forces, kept forever weak and demoralized by divide and rule politics in Colombo and get their EELAM. They FIGURED WRONG …. because as in the previous 3,000 years of Sri Lankan history, we Sinhalese will NOT ABANDON our Motherland however long it takes to overcome our enemies.
I am sick of these MEALY MOUTHED WEASELS and UNREPENTANT RACIST TRAITORS wailing about their pain & suffering completely ignoring that they brought everything down upon their own heads by being racist, greedy and treacherous. They have to HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
I have had enough of these unrepentant racist murderers egging on, without LEGAL PUNISHMENT, Western Powers to counsel RECONCILIATION which is another code word for APPEASEMENT and giving the terrorists the EELAM they had failed to win through 30-years of unremitting violence and war crimes against both civilians and combatants.
I am sick of the DOUBLE STANDARDS and HYPOCRISY of the Western Powers who, while committing war crimes all over the globe in their war on terror, refuse to let Sri Lanka ….. one of the few developing nations still committed to democracy and human rights, to defend it’s democracy and sovereignty, and enjoy its hard won peace.
These Western Hypocrites wage global war in the name of human rights and drmocracy, to destabilize and change regimes in fa off countries, but REFUSE to SUPPORT & LEAVE ALONE one of the few democracies that has taken firm root in the developing world. They seem hellbent on convert in a democratic Sri Lanka into an anarchy must like Somalia and Libya today.
Instead of being ASSET, democracy is INCREASINGLY becoming a LIABILITY to Sri Lanka’s survival as a unitary sovereign nation.
I TOTALLY REJECT Sumanthiran’s statements posing as an INNOCENT WAILING VICTIM.
He is one of those who permitted, supported and egged on the RACIST Tamil Eelam project from its very inception, through the TNA’s role as the LTTE’s political proxy in Colombo, to the present when he magically finds himself to be the Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition dedicated to using that position to achieve the now defunct EELAM.
I say to him, we will NEVER LET YOU SUCCEED in creating an EELAM in Sri Lanka.
You will only impoverish and further destroy the Tamil Community if you try. You have an opportunity now to change your ways, but every move you make inimical to Sri Lanka’s existence as ONE Nation of ONE People sharing ONE National Destiny will rebound adversely on you and your community in the near future.
REJECT RECONCILIATION with UNREPENTANT RACIST SEPARATISTS!
PUNISH them SEVERELY for every TREACHEROUS MOVE! Spare the ROD and spoil the CHILD!
There MUST NEVER BE an EELAM, in any form, in part or whole, in Sri Lanka!
REPEAL the 13th Amendment, DISSOLVE the Provincial Councils, REJECT the ETCA, the FTA, the Hanuman Bridge and the Ramayana Religious Circuoit, and DENY ENTRY to MOST legal and ALL illegal immigrants, NOW before Sri Lanka CEASES to be Land of the proud and sovereign Sinhala People!

Even if the constitution will be changed since this idiotic government follows whatever instructions the US, UK, EU, Norway, Canada, Sweden, India, the TNA and the separatist terrorists tell it to do, we must ensure that the unitary status of the country is not compromised in any way whatsoever. The clause in the 13th amendment which says that ‘the North and the East is the homeland of the Tamil speaking people’ must be deleted since it is totally false when looking at the history of the island. This clause must be replaced with the clause ‘the entire island is the homeland of all its peoples’. The provision which allows for the merger between two provinces should be deleted. As much subjects from the concurrent list should be included in the national list. Under no circumstances should land, police or fiscal powers be given to provincial councils. All of us need to ensure that the above happens since if the system reverts back to a parliamentary system and the presidential system is scrapped, the only way to ensure the unitary status of the country is the make sure that the provincial councils do not get any more powers than they have at present. The Public Security Ordinance should not be amended in anyway as well. If any provincial councils acts out of line, the head of government should dissolved such a provincial council and direct rule by the head of government should be enforced under those circumstances.

Aspirations of the Tamils according to the TNA.
Tamils must be given the North and the East a separate federal government.
This government is not answerable to the President or the Parliament of Sri Lanka and they can not impose any laws or decrees on them.
In fact they will be an Independent government except they want the Government of Sri Lanka to provide them the finances and make sure that they have their uninterrupted water supply!
They’ll find those two on their own once they have their Eelam!!
Nice ain’t it?
