By :A.A.M.NIZAM – MATARA

The old hag Chandrika who is despised by a vast majority of people in this country for running an unproductive, corrupt and malicious government for almost 11 years, telling all sorts of lies, and betraying SLFP policies, seems to have gone mad or suffering from an acute incurable amnesia which even her ‘gon dosthara’ son cannot cure by administering some treatment suitable for quadrupeds. It is better she desists from making statements inimical to the history, culture, language and other aspects of this country and refrains from making detrimental statements about persons who are very much admired by the majority of  the people of this country such as Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa and Mr. Gotabhya Rajapaksa  respectively.

Let us find some of the despicable statements made by her and her anti-national and abhorrent activities in the recent past probably due of the mental degeneration she is suffering from:

• There are matters harmful for reconciliation in the history books that are being distributed to school children by the Ministry of Education.  These books should be changed and ‘reconciliation’ should be included as a subject in these books.
• Books on Religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism given to children should be withdrawn and a common book on religions should be given. It is assumed that Chandrika has taken this move on the advice of Norwegian specialist Kevin Volang on whose advice a new constitution is being formulated and to whom Sambandan and other separatist elements forward their suggestions.
• Our soldiers (she never calls them as war heroes as her war heroes are LTTE terrorists) committed war crimes but they do not accept it since it is a South Asian tradition not to accept the wrong done.
• Participating in a Thaipongal function she said that deciding of children’s school on nationality and religion is an obstruction for reconciliation.  Therefore this practice should be ceased.
• She said that once her son told her that he regrets very much for being a Sinhalese. She is also a woman who regrets very much for being a Sinhalese as otherwise she would not publicize her son’s statement. She also does not accept the prime position held by the majority Sinhalese and Buddhists in this country.

• She has said saffron robed persons who espouse communalism cannot be called as Buddhist monks and if they had attired the saffron robe they should uphold the preaching of the Lord Buddha and propagate his teachings of compassion and kindness.

• She has also stated that when she was the President she held Tamil language classes at the Temple Trees and many Ministers acquired a fair knowledge of the Tamil language and these classes were abandoned after she left the Temple Trees
• She is in the process of making all efforts in collaboration with the pro-separatist and separatist elements, and NGO vultures to bring in a federal constitution which she failed to get accomplished in the year 2000.
• It was this old hag who brought in Norway to interfere in the internal affairs of our country and the damage done to this country and still being done by them is known to everyone and need no elaboration I think.
• .Her handling of the war was a failure entirely and that is why she attempted to unconditionally hand over the Northern Province for the megalomaniac Prabhakaran for 10 years.

·         She has said Kalu ganga should be diverted to the South to prevent Ratnapura district getting flooded.  It is shame to find that this old hag who unfortunately happened to rule this country from 1994 to 20004 does not know that it is in the south that Kalu ganga flows to the sea and the South has rivers flowing to the sea in almost every 10 kilometers, and a large number of the 103 rivers of this country is flowing into the sea between Moratuwa and Amblantota.

·         She said that she is being scolded in utter filth in social media. web sites and at meetings she attend. She said that during all her time she worked for Sinhalese and she has now decided to work for Tamils as it was not possible to do anything for them during the terrorist period..

·         She said that there are more than 200 Sinhalese persons meaning MPs to work for the Sinhalese.

·         She said that in the recent past there had been a problem about the judiciary of Sri Lanka. The judiciary was politicized and politicians steered the judiciary. The politicians instructed judges by telephone on how to give verdicts. Those who did not comply with such instructions were sent home including the Chief Justice.  It was because of this the trust on the independence of the judiciary of Sri Lanka was lost in foreign countries and by many people in Sri Lanka.  This has been made a big problem to the country, and has become a major political problem. She said that it is better if this situation was enlightened to the people by the leaders of the government.

·         Responding to a question about arresting war heroes she said that they are not being taken into custody because they fought a war but because that some of them collaborated with high ranking people in the Defense Ministry and carried out murders and killed people, including media personnel

• In 1994, she vowed to have the fleets of vehicles the UNP MPs and ministers were using seized and auctioned at the Galle Face greens immediately after forming an SLFP-led government. But, nothing of that sort happened.
• After coming to power in 1994 she carried out a programme of privatizing prominent State Institutions such the national airlines, State Insurance Corporation, Telecommunication Industry, Gas Company and so on which is anathema to SLFP policy of building an indigenous economy.
• Although she attempts to allege her political opponents as rogues, murderers or thieves she has up to now failed to take legal action against or deny the charges being made against her in Victor Ivan’s book Choura Rajini” (the bandit queen in English) and prove that she was not a rogue, not a thief and she had a good character.
• She has a perennial grudge against Mr. Mahinda Rajapaaksa and the reason for this was that Mr. Rajapaksa who do not hesitate to criticize someone if he or she deserves such a criticism told her at a SLFP internal meeting in Matara that it was this bitch hat destroyed our party (mae baelli thamai ape pakshaya naasthi kare).”
• That was why when she handed over a Ministerial portfolio to Mr. Mahinda Rajaapaksa in 1994 she asked him to accept the Minister post from the Belli (bitch) displaying that she was holding an eternal grudge against him.
• The Prime Minister post to Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa was not given to him by willingly but due to her being pressurized by everyone including the Maha Sangha and it was so of giving nomination for the Presidential Election in 2004 and that is why the party office was kept closed for him and not even pamphlet in support of his election was not issued by the party officially.
• She is the individual who has done much harm to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. She got together with Wijaya to destroy the party and formed the Sri Lanka Mahajana Pakshaya and split the party.  Later on she got together with left parties and over the dead body of Wijaya formed a party call
• ed United Socialist Alliance (U.S.A). When she found that her political avarice could not get fulfilled through the U.S.A she deserted that party and formed another party called Bahujana Nidahas Peramuna with Rajitha Senaratne and it is well known that it was this party organizers who provided name lists of alleged JVP youths to Rajitha Senaratne’s PRA outfit.

·         She alleged that Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa filed a court case for reducing the number of personnel in her security contingent. Mr. Rajapaksa responded saying that such a court case was neither filed by the Presidential Secretariat nor the Ministry of Defense nor by him. However, such a case was filed by an NGO.

·         She said that Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa and she are on par and Mahinda does not require a security of more than what she has.  People commented that she does not have any form of threat from the terrorists compared to the threats existing for the former President Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa and she has become a darling of the minions of her MR.PRABHAKARAN  and she gets special security from terrorist elements since they very much need her to espouse their anti Sinhala and anti Sri Lankan cause.

·         Intelligence sources in the security services have told some time ago that the Town Hall bomb blast in which she lost one eye was a stage managed drama to get sympathy for her and she has planned this drama similar to fraudulent shooting attempts arranged by Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and some African leaders to carry out their repressive activities.

• A few days before the beginning of the 34^th session of the UNHRC she called a media conference of foreign correspondents and said that our soldiers in the North are sexually exploiting the women widowed by the war. This was a deliberate allegation made against our war heroes to get it highlighted at the UNHRC session as she was the former President and the chairperson of the Office of the National Unity and Reconciliation (ONUR). This statement went to the international arena as an official statement of the country.  Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa urged the President and the Prime Minister to disassociate with this despicable statement but they maintained silence indirectly endorsing the statement.
• The old hag Chandrika was also responsible for the Meethotamulla garbage tragedy of 2017 New Year day which killed more than 35 people and damaged nearly 200 houses. A world bank assisted sanitary land fill project was to be constructed at Alupotha, Meepe selected by specialist scientists after carefully studying the topography, underlying soil type, proximity to densely populated areas and possible effects on sensitive ecosystems. Chandrika on her usual arrogant attitude and after haggling for five years from 1995 to 1999 and even after awarding the tender to a Chinese company for US$ 800 million the project was abandoned in 1999 following protests by the people in the Awissawela area instigated by some NGOs.
• In an interview with DharishaBastians published in the Financial Times of 17 February, 2017, Chandrika the head of the Office for National Unity and Reconciliation(ONUR), noted that ‘development, livelihoods, education and answers to their questions about missing people’ are priorities for the war-affected citizens of our country. She said that the need for a new constitution for Sri Lanka is an even greater priority than justice for grave human rights violations committed during the final stages of the war, implying that such violations have been committed.
