LankaWeb Weekly Editorial Jan.21st 2015 “ You Can Fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time but never  all the people all the time” Abraham Lincoln….. ..Perhaps is an apt summation of what happened  to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Presidential election concluded recently. He is undoubtedly […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial Jan.6th 2015 President Mahinda Rajapaksa has done a great service to all the people of Sri Lanka.  Irrespective of ethnicity,  all the communities within this country as well as many other sources particularly in the field of investment, tourism and those who believe in the freedoms that need to be enjoyed by all with no […]

Lankaweb Weekly Editorial December 12th. 2014  They have gathered in droves like hungry vultures waiting to swoop in on what they believe will be the spoils of an election defeat for the President but they are surely and sadly mistaken despite the rhetoric that goes on, on a daily basis in all the anti -Government […]

Lankaweb Weekly Editorial December 13th. 2014   It seems somewhat of an aberration of the norm of good governance that the present President has provided  the Nation that those who are attempting to replace him have no clear vision that could supecede or circumvent what has already been set in place by him and are being […]

Lankaweb Weekly Editorial November 27th. 2014 Despite all the portrayals of common candidate  Maithripala Sirisena as a prudent choice ( somewhat contentious portrayals heavily biased in favour of the UNP which seem plainly visible to the more discerning), it may not be that prudent nor will it augur well for the country where a ship jumper Like Maitripala […]

Lankaweb Weekly Editorial October 29th. 2014  While most contestants of such competition dream of winning a Presidency during their lifetime they do so with an unblemished track record and the backing of the majority vote!! This seems hardly likely in the case of the UNP’s Ranil Wickremasinghe as he has disentitled himself to the privilege on […]

Lankaweb Weekly Editorial September 29th. 2014   It seems like a time for reckoning and aligning with salient realities that Sri Lanka has been backed by 22 nations against the UN rights probe threatening to malign her credibilities as the breaking news emerges. This coincides fortuitously with Sri Lanka President’s visit to the UN where […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial 8th September 2014 In the seemingly never ending coercion of Sri Lanka by the United States and Britain over UN instigated calls for human rights violations during the three decade long internal armed insurrection by Tamil Tigers, only one thing seems to  stand out as logical. It is reminiscent of flogging a dead […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial August 20th 2014 Although there is every likelihood that it will cause an international furore, the choice of the President to deny entry to the team of UN investigators seems justifiable on the simplest rationale that it has been instigated by biased former UN representatives such as Navi Pillai and others who […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial July15th 2014   Inasmuch as Sri Lanka’s head of State is a very pragmatic and perceptive leader, new Indian Prime Minister the Hon. Narendra Modi too has shown his class and ability to be much the same through his recent response to the issues raised against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC  where a […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, June 23rd.2014    The only information The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) could realistically have shared with the UN would be no more than cooked up anti Government propaganda and the usual innuendo laced exaggerations about Tamil distress steeped in bias as they profess to have shared information with the UN. It is very unlikely their […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, May 17th.2014 The Indian Prime Ministerial victory of Indian Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi has hardly settled in its global impact but already alarm bells seem to be ringing in the minds of some about a likely scenario comparable to Russia and Crimea as well as the ongoing tirade of actress turned […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, May 1st.2014 Only a feeble minded simpleton without the capacity to comprehend the direction Canada  is taking with respect to Sri Lanka in recent times would have thought contrary to the breaking news that Canada will not enforce the Sri  Lankan ban on named groups who have the notoriety of being supporters and […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, April 26th.2014 There are certain ungrateful Sri Lankan types domiciled in Foreign places perhaps egged on by all the wrong sources for all the wrong reasons who continue to bark at the President of Sri Lanka  saying “Give Us Back Our Country!” This is a response to such types! and a posting that […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, March 21st.  2014 Despite the  harsh accusations against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC Summit there remains a very salient reality that the accusers seem to have it all wrong.  They appear to be playing to the sensitivities of a world that knows  little or nothing about the realities of what transpired in Sri […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, February 24th  2014 TheTamil National Alliance (TNA)  clarion calls demanding that” war criminals must be punished for there to be real reconciliation in Sri Lanka following the end of the war.” seems  apathetic as well as never ending laced in bias as well as an emboldened audacity given the role they played towards […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, January 4th  2014 Hopefully the troubles of the recent past are over permanently and Sri Lanka has a new dawn for progress and prosperity thanks mainly to the vision of our pragmatic President and his team of administrators who have done the once embattled nation proud. Much to the chagrin and envy of […]

 LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, December 9th, 2013 This surely is  proof that The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) classified in the eyes of many discerning analysts as none but a group of pseudo politicians whose modus operandi  today includes innuendo, denial of harsh realities based purely upon their action as supporters of the Tamil tigers openly supporting their actions during the insurgency […]

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial, September 7th.2013 It has become almost painfully obvious that the UNƒ”š‚ Humanƒ”š‚ Rights Ambassador Pillaiƒ”š‚ came to Sri Lanka with her own agenda, saw what she wanted to see while there was much more to observe and turned her head away from portraying to the worldƒ”š‚ the salient truth about Sri Lanka other than dabble in […]
