THOUGHTS FROM A SRI LANKAN TO MR.RANIL WICKREMASINGHE

Prasad De Silva

It is with much sadness and with disappointment I share my thoughts of Mr.Ranil Wickremasighe with my fellow country men and with the rest of the world who treasure democracy, freedom and human dignity. It is without any hesitation I can call Mr.Wickremasinghe, the greatest enemy of Democracy, Freedom, and dignity of the entire human race who value and respect democracy, Freedom and human dignity. By virtue it is evident through his actions that he is a man who is obsessed with power and to be the president of Sri Lanka. Well I would like to bring to your attention that the whole world has accepted Sri Lanka is paying the price of the past governance of this cursed land due to leaders like Ranil.

Mr.Wickremasinghe brings allegation’s against the present government saying pilferage, dictatorship, corruption of the present government is immense, but I would like to ask Mr.Wickremasighe being the opposition leader of the country how many times have you gone on oversea visits for this year, can you please tell the people how much of foreign currency you have spent for these trips along with your entourage???? I don’t think Mr.Wickremasighe get’s Free of Charge Airline tickets or else day rooms for his accommodation in foreign lands with discounts, etc. isn’t this pilferage Mr.Wickremasinghe??? Apart from it, being the Opposition leader what negotiations can you do with foreign entities??? You cannot get elected in your own country, So what can you do with the rest of the world????

What is the legitimacy of your negotiations??? You are a man who’s being rejected by a nation for many occasions…not once, not twice, not thrice….your defeats are countless…. Do you accept this fact Mr.Wickremasighe???

As a nation many people do consider you as a very honest man, a man who had never involved in corruption, a man who speaks like a gentleman and a civilized man, I do without any hesitation will accept these facts. You deserve the respect for this and I do as a Sri Lankan respect you for your high integrity. But we as Sri Lankans should remember and should be very grateful to our current president Mr. Rajapaksa for all what he has done with in a span of 2 years. With regard to Terrorism, The East is cleared accept for few incidents. And LTTE is being confronted by all means. But you are demonstrating with your henchmen about the cost of living. Since Independence all our leaders have done was to concentrate on the stomach. All what we need is to fill our bellies and sleep or else if we win a cricket match, the whole nation is on holiday. You were a part of this type of government. I hope you can remember.???

Please make no mistake you were in a government which armed the LTTE. People were under misery with under world gangs, murders etc, Can you deny this fact.??? The people of Sri Lanka know this. So can you please tell me who the Traitor is??? Is it Mr.Gotabaya Rajapaksa??? Or You???? You were not targeted by LTTE to Kill. Never in your political career, but remember Mr. Gotabaya was targeted. Of course Mr.Gotabaya left the army after serving 20 years. Well you must remember legally he can do that. It is with in the law. No body under the sun can say Mr.Gotabaya was a Traitor. Remember to this very date Mr.Gotabaya is serving the country. Even thoe he hold a US nationality, remember He is a Sri Lankan. If Mr.Gotabaya was a traitor…He should have never come back to his roots and to serve his motherland. Because you have to accept that Mr.Gotabaya will be better off in the US than to put his life on the line in Sri Lanka. Mr.Gotabaya Rajapaksa is truly a great man and a great son of our motherland. He is an officer and a gentleman. But you served the nation by getting all the luxury benefits such as Benz limousines, cooks from India, etc.

Of course when it comes to Basil Rajapaksa, his legitimacy and honesty is questionable, Furthermore having Three Brothers in the same government in a democracy is questionable, The Mihin Air saga under Sajin Vass is questionable (Appointed by the President as the CEO), having family members of the President’s family (First Lady’s Brother/ First Lady’s Sister’s son- Asantha De Mel/ Nephews, Etc) as directors and ceo’s in many departments is highly questionable and it is not acceptable in a democracy, But we as a nation must support the current President Mr.Rajapaksa to continue his job since he is currently doing an extremely good job with regard to eradicate the LTTE. As a responsible opposition leader it is your duty to support the president in these testing times of our Motherland.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa is not the all perfect president we as Sri Lankans wanted & wish, But he is what we want to eradicate LTTE. Because he is the only leader who took a firm stand with out bowing to pressures from any one to confront the LTTE. We as Sri Lankans need a leader of this caliber. Even with all the short coming’s and integrity of the president, his brother Basil and his cabinet is questionable, I am sure Mr.Mahinda Rajapaksa will go to the History books in our motherland as the father of the Nation if he get rid of the LTTE. No matter what, Mr.Mahinda Rajapaksa has done a Yeomen service to his motherland and he deserve our respect and support.

I think the time is right Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe for you to leave politics in Sri Lanka (Had you had left earlier it would have been better for you and for the country). Because people have rejected you many times and I am sure the nation will reject you once again if you become a presidential candidate. This sounds harsh, but it is the reality. So long as you represent the UNP, Mr.Mahinda Rajapaksa do not need an opponent or else he do not have to canvas for the next presidential elections. He will be right royally get elected because of you Mr.Wickremasinghe.
