 While the patriotic masses who envisage a revival of a nationalistic non-aligned Sri Lanka as outlined in the 1978 Republican Constitution were glad about the SLPP consolidating its political hold as a combine of Sri Lanka’s 10 political formations dedicated to development of this nation on progressive ideologies they were very much puzzled as to why they have taken the Aappaya to their fold and made him the Chairman of the party? In all political parties, the power is vested with its leader and the General Secretary. Powers such as appointing organizers, creating the nominations list, removing the parliamentary MPs are all is vested with the leader and the general secretary. All other positions are powerless. This is how the Rajapaksas have consolidated the power in the new party. However, they have to be very cautious about individuals like Aappaya Sirisena who very much capable of creating dissension in the party and destroying it. Perhaps he may have come under the tutelage of the vicious elements like Ranil and Chandrika!

People have not forgotten and will not forget the humiliations and hardships they underwent during the last five years and feel disgusted angry over the SLPP’s leadership for taking the hopperman to their fold. How can this new political formation of the10 parties pardon the hopperman (aappayaa) for the crimes he did against this country since the infamous last supper of hopper dinner on 21^st November 2014. 

This hopperman is fully responsible for all the calamities befallen on the people of this country from 9^th January 2015 onwards and the difficulties undergone by the people unable to feed, educate, and afford a happy life to their children.

Many SLPP stalwarts Minister Prasanna Ranatunga and State Minister Roshan Ranasusinghe who labouredly made all efforts under adverse conditions to build up the SLPP have raised their objections for taking in and offering the Chairman post in the new 10 party alliance to Maithripala Sirisena.  Their anger, aversion and displeasure are quite valid and justifiable and it is also the firm view of the patriotic masses supporting the SLPP. 

How can anyone in this country condone the unpardonable treacherous acts perpetrated by Sirisena including the following:’

• Hiding his plans to desert the UPFA and join the foreign servile cabal even at the time of his last supper at Temple Trees on 21st November, 2014;
• After being the Secretary-General of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party for 11 years simply deserting the party on the insistence of the old hag Chandrika;
• Blindly presenting the manifesto and the work (the so-called 100 days programme) as his election manifesto and his development programme;
• Appointing undemocratically the foreign and terrorist servile Ranil Wickremasinghe who had only 42 seats in the Parliament as the Prime Minister of this country;
• Dismissing Prime Minister D.M.Jayaratne who held 142 seats in the Parliament from the PM post;
• Appointing the Singaporean Arjun Mahendran as the Governor of the Central Bank;
• Remaining blind to the great robbery that took place in the Central Bank;
• Dissolving the Parliament and call for General Elections preventing the COPE Chairman Mr. DEW Gunasekera to present COPE report divulging the Great Robbery:
• Facilitating the UNP to win the Elections;
• Issuing a letter one week before the elections stressing that Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa will not be appointed as the Prime Minister of this country even if he gets majority seats in the Parliament;
• Dismissing the General Secretaries of both the SLFP and UPFA two days before the elections and appointing his minions to those posts so that he can manipulate through then with the Election Commission;
• Appointing the defeated UPFA candidates as MPs through the Nationalist List instead of the previously nominated experienced politicians and professionals;
• When the UNP with all support to them and all possible hindrance to UPFA failed to get even an absolute majority in the Parliament and got only 106 seats including the MPs of  Muslim Con-gross, ACMC and JHU, formed a government called National Unity Government extending the support of40odd UPFA MPs and appointing them as Ministers;
• Facilitating the adopting the 19th Amendment to the Constitution and thereby creating government;
• Approved Ranil Wickremasinghe’s formation of a Special Unit called FCED and encouraged  to arrest, prosecute and remand opposition MPs, politicians and their family members and even Buddhist monks on concocted and baseless allegations;
• Remained silent over the great betrayal of this country carried out by quisling Mangala Samaraweera by so-sponsoring a U.S. resolution against Sri Lanka (30/1 ) at the UNHRC just two months after the formation of the Ranil government;
• Allowed Arjun Mahendran to carry out the 2nd Treasury Bond robbery causing great losses to EPF  and ETF in addition to losses of several million to the Treasury;
• When Arjun Mahendran fled the country to prevent possible arrest no action was taken to get this fugitive back and prosecute him
• Neglected to take any action to investigate allegations related to Arjun Aloysius paying the lease of Rs. 14.5 Million for Ravi Karunanayake’s flat, providing a separate flat to State minister Ajitjh P.Perera, providing several million rupees to State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe to wrote a book acquitting him over the Bond Scams, and providing millions of rupees to 118 persons including several Ministers and UNP parliamentarians;
• Neglected to initiate investigations about the links Arjun Aloysius maintained COPE commit members such as  Ajith P.Perera. Harsha de Silva, Sijeewa Senasinghe who became renown as the Footnote Gang”
• Facilitated the adoption of the 19thAmendment to the constitution and empowered the despicable Speaker to act as a tyrant and appoint the TNA leader with only 16 seats in the Parliament as the Leader of the Opposition;
• Similarly encouraged the tyrant speaker to appoint the JVP parliament leader who was a lapdog of Ranil Wickremasinghe as theChief Whip of the Parliament. 
• Gave a freehand to the tyrant Speaker to restrict speeches of the JO members in Parliament and give undue time to JVPs 6 members to protect the government and Ranil.
• Blamed Law and Order Minister Sagala Ratnayake saying that he is showing kindness to Rajapaksas and replaced him with Ranjith Madduma Bandara and wanted him to show no mercy towards Rajapaksas and former government members;
• Also Undertook several utterly non-beneficial foreign junks to countries all over the world in competition with Ranil Wickremasinghe; The pro-Ranil UNP website Lanka-E-News reported that Sirisena visited Russia more than once and it was to facilitate the government to purchase a Russian Ship for Killi Maharaja ad the deal, offered a large commission payment to his son-in-law;
• The said website alleged that his son-in-law and daughter Chaturika acted as commission agents for Sirisena;
• The said website said that his son-in-Law who was an unsuccessful studio owner was wearing the one of the world’s expensive wristwatch valued at U, S, Dollar 80,000 and very expensive shoes and belts;
• The Website also said that Chaturika owns two government Advertising Agencies and gets government advertisements to her agencies;
• The infuriated Sirisena banned access to this website from Sri Lanka to prevent reports published in it reaching the people of Sri Lanka.  
• Created unnecessary problem for the country by officially permitting the singing of the National Anthem in Sinhala and Tamil at the Independence Day ceremonies from 2015 onwards;
• Suspended the official War Heroes Day commemorations from 2015 onwards;
• On the instigation of the terrorist diaspora and Sambandan/Sumanthiran cabal steps were taken to imprison war heroes and send details of such arrests to the UNHRC’ 
• Made frequent and unimportant visits to Jaffna and the North compared to his visits to Southern areas and used to say that people in the North are bloodless in their faces and he would make them have beaming faces;
• Failed to take any appropriate and warranted action on Indian intelligence reports received about the Easter Sunday Carnage;
• Simply passed the blame to the IGP and the Defence Secretary and washed his hands off his responsibility to the death of over 300 innocent Christians and nearly 1,000 people injured and crippled.  (Pls. see Lanka-E-News report given below);
• Similarly, no meaningful action was taken against anti-Muslim riots in Gintota, Ampara, Digana, Katugastota and Akurana which are alleged to have been instigated and organised by the Rodiya caste (source: Wikipedia- Castes in Sri Lanka) Minister Champika Ranawaka.;
• No action was taken against the alleged Drug Mafia operated by Minister Rajitha Senaratne while boasting about stern action to minimize the kidney disease and shedding crocodile tears about kidney patients.
• A massive development programme valued at several thousand million rupees was launched, perhaps in competition to Hambantota districts developments, to develop the Polonnaruwa district development but the people of the area states that only Sirisena’s family members benefited from this programme as all contracts were given to his family members.
• Sirisena’s brothers operated the rice mafia, sand mafia and the stone quarry mafias in the district. 
• His brother Dudley Sirisena, who was also a casino player became the owner of a chain of luxury hotels, Kandalama in Sigiriya, a large hotel and was reported to be building another large luxury hotel;
• His younger brother Kumarasiri Sirisena was appointed as Chairman of the Sri Lanka Telecom.  It was reported that this appointed was made despite objections from Ranil Wickremasinghe and several other Ministers and his monthly remunerations amounted Rs. 4.5 Million;
•  This politico who entered politics as a bicycle politico similar to Mangala Samaraweera and Piyasena Gamage has got down 09 vehicles at a cost of Rs. 3.3 Million. He has got down a super-luxury BMWx5 for his son Daham and super luxury Lexus Benz car for his daughter Chaturika.   

• At the time of assuming office, Sirisena pledged that he will not stay at6 the presidential residence and will use the presidential residence only for official occasions and will function from Polonnaruwa. 
• At the time of his retirement, he got a massive in Colombo 7 and got that house refurbished at several million prior to occupation. 
• It was the local government election that was held in 2018, 2 years after the due date, that severed his relationship with Ranil Wickremasinghe;
• In local government election frenzy, he said that the Moragahakanda Scheme his dream project and severely blamed Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa and said that Mr. Rajapaksa did not implement the project to prune the political popularity that accrue to him despite the fact that Mr. Rajapaksa initiated the project andit was an ongoing project that his government suspended all on-going projects when they gained power in 2015.
• Not only Moragahakanda they suspended all on-going projects launched by Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa including the Port City and Lotus Tower projects.
• In a recent interview with Arna.lk he has said that he was not aware that the Hambantota harbour was going to be leased out to China and he came to know about when the handing over was completed.  What a silly statement?
• He deposed RanilWickremasinghe from the post of Prime Minister and appointed Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa as the PM not because of his likeness to Mr. Rajapaksa but because the need he felt to take revenge from Ranil Wickremasinghe.
• On the insistence of Sambandan, he re-appointed Ranil Wickremasinghe. 
• He was forced to declare the presidential election as the constitution allowed to be in office for a maximum period of five years., 
• When he became President his first pledge was to abolish the Executive Presidency and he deliberately ignored this pledge during the whole five year period.
• Similarly, he pledged to remain neutral during the election campaign but it is not a secret that he was clandestinely supporting Sajith Premadasa and even there was speculation that he was planning to address Sajith Premadasa’s meeting that was to be held.

Sirisena abandoned this plan to support Sajith only because of Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapaksabecame certain to win the election with a huge majority and because the last days of the election became a Gotavbhaya Tsunami engulfing thee country.

It took only 5 years from 21^st November 2014 for this Aappayaa to destroy the 68-year-old Sri Lanka Freedom Party and how long it will take this bulldozer fellow to destroy the SLPP which sprouted in 2016?

From now on the Sri Lanka Freedom Party created by the Bandaranaike’s would be limited only to a mere name added to the past and the future would be the Sri Lanka Freedom Podujana Alliance (SLFPA) created by the Rajapaksas which diluted the SLFP. (The Sajith group is also trying to do the same to the UNP)

In all political parties, the power is vested with its leader and the General Secretary. Powers such as appointing organizers, creating the nominations list, removing the parliamentary MPs are all is vested with the leader and the general secretary. All other positions are powerless. This is how the Rajapaksas have consolidated the power in the new party.

Lanka-E-News the pro-Ranil UNP website published from London access to which has been from Sri Lanka bySirisena said that Maithripala Sirisena has gone to Pohottuwa to escape from his arrest for the Easter bombing. The website said that Sirisena rescued Saharan twice and gave the following details.

In 2017 Saharan together with his brother Rilwan and his associates Sajahan, Auto Niyas, Anver and Zaini have convened a Wahabi meeting at a place in a Sufi majority area in Kattankudy. Saharan had taken swords, petrol bombs and attacked the neighbours’ houses, wreaked their properties and made havoc on them. People have been cut with swords. That reveals why we sliced you today if anybody opposes us everyone will be cut” Saharan has threatened everyone with the sword. There is a video taken with a phone by one of them. Nine people were remanded after being arrested and produced to the courts after a complaint was lodged with the police. However, Saharan and his brother Rilwan absconded from arrest by the Police and were hiding.

It was Maithri Gunarathne, Sirisena’s most distinguished presidential advisor who bailed out the nine accused who got arrested. He had gone from Colombo to Batticaloa. According to reports reaching Lanka-e-News, Maithree Gunaratne was instructed by Sirisena to bail them out.. 

It is a petite matter for the Saharan group to get a Muslim lawyer from Colombo. Saharans had money. He could have got either Faizer

Musthafa or Ali Sabry but due to president Sirisena’s advice Maithri Gunarathne went from Colombo to Batticaloa to bail out the nine accuses.

Following Maithri Gunaratne’s appearance, the nine suspects were released on bail. Due to this policy could not capture Saharan and Rilwan. Many others, including Saharan and Rilwan, were killed along with the Easter attack. Sirisena later gave Maithri Gunaratne a governor post for his sordid contribution.

How Sirisena rescued Saharan in 2018.

Many people know how Sirisena rescued Saharan in 2018. That was when there was an open warrant issued on Saharan by the TID when the TID director DIG Nalaka Silva got arrested on false allegations. This was all conspired by President Sirisena. Siriena fabricated this conspiracy through a liar named Namal Kumara planning to kill him and Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Now it is proven well. Namal Kumara who said that Nalaka Silva conspired this killing through Makandure Madush who is now is in Sri Lanka under remand custody. Nobody knows that Makandure Madush was questioned about this. If makandure Madush has disclosed anything as such they would not stay doing anything. That is Sirisena made this conspiracy and lie through Namal Kumara. That is none other than to save Saharan from getting arrested.

Take Sirisena into custody immediately..

The LEN urged President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to immediately arrest Maithripala Sirisena and enforce the law against him who is responsible for the death of over 300 catholic devotees, the foreigners and tourists who came to spend their holidays for the Easter.
