stifled by denying elections. The so called international community kept silent not insisting on elections being held. However, finally after an island wide local government election, the People have spoken – the silent majority have spoken and the Government is bound to now listen. Though the official election results are being controversially delayed unofficial results reveal that an Arab Spring model does not work in Sri Lanka. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  No political party has been able to create such an island wide impact within less than 2 years of its birth. The Prime Ministers party has come second while the President’s party (not the one he contested from) has come a distant third. The defeat was not so much for the candidates of the defeated parties but a clear rejection of all that the leaders of the defeated parties were forcefully promoting in Sri Lanka sans the approval of the citizens. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  After denying people three years of their right to vote people came out to say they had had enough of the lies, drama and treacheries taking place before their eyes.    \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  While official election results are yet to be revealed President Rajapakse has issued a statement asking victors to enjoy the victory in a peaceful manner. We can recall the former President accepting defeat and leaving office even before the official results were revealed. It is unfortunate that the elections office are delaying declaring the final results and exposes the biased nature of that office \u0026amp; its head and necessitates calls for his removal.   \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  From 2015 an unprecedented list of unbelievable changes had taken place leaving the people voiceless and democratically unable to voice their objection. Even the international community chose to shower awards on rogues. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  Every shocking action and decision taken by the yahapalana government has been democratically rejected and the Government must now listen and the President is now bound to take necessary action to nullify and veto the constitutional changes being drafted secretly, the removal of Buddhism which has been and must remain the national identity of Sri Lanka, the attempts to permanently divide Sri Lanka by changing its unitary form to create a Kosovo and South Sudan and the sale of national assets to foreigners. People have said they do not want to have a government that has to ask West \u0026amp; India permission to govern Sri Lanka or take decisions after seeking their approval first! \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  Moreso, people were angered by the manner that the armed forces personnel \u0026amp; intelligence officers were hurled on bogus charges and placed behind bars with bail denied. The mental agony that they suffered culminated in the suicide of a mother-in-law whose last letter pleaded that her son-in-law served the nation patriotically and was no murderer. The manner the 3 naval ratings were released and their faces revealed their relief. These were moments that touched the hearts of many a citizen who were angered by the manner that the government was going after the men who sacrificed their lives to give us peace from terrorism. The event that took place in London where pro-LTTE supporters influenced the removal of the Military attache Brig. Priyankara Fernando would have largely influenced many voters too even Tamils. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  The results are certainly a major setback and embarrassment to both the President \u0026amp; the Prime Minister who in all of their speeches at election platforms chose to not talk on policy or what they had delivered but adapt a very crude form of attack which by the results have revealed that the people are not only not impressed but have chosen not to be fooled by them. The leadership ability, capability \u0026amp; effectiveness of both the President \u0026amp; the PM are now seriously in question. It will be an eye opener to the foreign forces that brought them to power and they must already be conniving and conspiring on plan B. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  Over 2000 public officials were brought before an illegally constituted corruption body, questioned and humiliated while the magnitude of corruptions by the people that came to power on the platform of bringing good governance was not only ignored but completely immune from prosecution. The bending of law \u0026amp; order, the interference of judicial decision making even had magistrate courts opened in late hours of the night and people sent to prison and kept in prison without bail. The cleaning of the Central Bank took away the cake with committee after committee being appointed to exonerate themselves but using the platform of the Parliament turning it into a circus to cry ‘kawda hora’ at others. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  The people watched, waited and waited hoping for an election to voice their dismay. It came finally on 10th February 2018. In many ways it was an apology by the people who had been taken for a ride and fooled and people had decided to put Country before their political party barring a handful who remained loyal to the party over the country. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  The people had enough of lies fed to them on a daily basis undermining people’s intelligence with promises of starting factories like Volkswagen, propaganda using dead people became unacceptable, the people have rejected ETCA and the manner state enterprises are being doled out to India \u0026amp; the West while controversial figures are being strategically placed to put into effect promises and assurances given to LTTE diaspora from whom favors and perks have exchanged hands. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe results have clearly hailed the demise of the SLFP and exposed the JVP too. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  For those that have been conspiring with the Government it was a message that clearly established that the Sinhalese are never for the division for the Island nation and that all citizens must live as ONE in this One Island. The results conveyed that any form of attempt to separate or divide the country would not be allowed. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  The inefficiencies, lack of leadership, patriotism, nationalism largely contributed to an unprecedented show of citizens at a local government election to defeat all of the lies and drama of the present government. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  The People have given a clear message to this government – You can fool some people for some time but you cannot fool all the people all the time. The only exclusion are those willing and proud to be fools! \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  It is ironically that days before the election the Prime Minister was chief guest at a new venture named ‘Drop Me’. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e  Shenali D Waduge\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eයුතුකම සංවාද කවය\u003cbr /\u003ewww.yuthukama.com \u003cbr /\u003eLike us on facebook :https://www.facebook.com/yuthukama \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.yuthukama.com/feeds/1384172493360067169/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.yuthukama.com/2018/02/respect-peoples-voice-no-to.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8525172647349171824/posts/default/1384172493360067169"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8525172647349171824/posts/default/1384172493360067169"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.yuthukama.com/2018/02/respect-peoples-voice-no-to.html","title":"RESPECT THE PEOPLE’S VOICE: NO to Constitutional Changes, Division of Sri Lanka \u0026 Witch hunt against the Armed Forces"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Yuthukama Editor"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14716726245082539985"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9HuvbqJ2js4/WoUNkcJhg0I/AAAAAAAAGfI/CVR85czP9XAJF8gG8_UvyGu9TtToxXI-gCLcBGAs/s72-c/PVoice.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525172647349171824.post-2630413247652304084"},"published":{"$t":"2016-10-05T08:31:00.001+05:30"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-10-23T20:23:46.445+05:30"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Main"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"ENGLISH"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Shenali Waduge"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Sinhalese Thank Wigneswaran’s Racism "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P-BkapxfRFg/V_Rs6ADGBWI/AAAAAAAACRc/cB4LJbez8LkGNR5HKQHmysekKHhqj8XXQCLcB/s1600/wig2.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"336\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P-BkapxfRFg/V_Rs6ADGBWI/AAAAAAAACRc/cB4LJbez8LkGNR5HKQHmysekKHhqj8XXQCLcB/s640/wig2.jpg\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"fb-like\" data-action\u003d\"like\" data-href\u003d\"https://www.facebook.com/yuthukama\" data-layout\u003d\"standard\" data-share\u003d\"false\" data-show-faces\u003d\"false\" data-width\u003d\"300\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;trebuchet ms\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;sans-serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e-\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;trebuchet ms\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;sans-serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eShenali D Waduge\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;trebuchet ms\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;sans-serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eWe must owe a lot of gratitude to the\nNorthern Provincial Chief Minister for his racism which has helped wake up\nquite a lot of Sinhalese from their slumber.

With the recently\nconcluded Jaffna protests coupled with the attacks on the Sathosa retail outlet\nand Jaffna university students openly commemorating a dead LTTE cadre\n(Thileepan), the Sinhalese are taking out their history books and questioning\nthe legitimacy of what Wigneswaran and other Tamil racists are now demanding. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;trebuchet ms\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;sans-serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLet’s just logically assess the\nsituation.

Why would King\nSenarath the Kandyan King despatch his finest officer to Jaffna? Good question\n– the simple answer is that Jaffna was a kinglet of the Kandyan Kingdom as was\nthe East. According to Father Queyroz the King had despatched 10,000 men to\ndefend Jaffna. The last battle for the defense of Jaffna before it fell to\nEuropean powers was fought not by a Tamil army but by Sinhalese men sent by the\nKing of Kandy. As Queroyz says “as long as Rajapure (Anuradhapura) was the\ncapital of Ceylon, the whole island was subject to one kng” If it was so with\nAnuradhapura, it was so with the rest of the capitals. When the Portuguese\narrived in 1505 there were 15 ‘kinglets’ subject to the King of Kotte of which\nJaffnapatao kinglet was one and none of them were independent or separate from\nthe rest. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"background: rgb(255 , 217 , 102); font-family: \u0026quot;trebuchet ms\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;sans-serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLeaving all\nthis aside – the simple logic is that if the Tamils evolved in the island then\nthey should not be called Tamils.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;trebuchet ms\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;sans-serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e Sinhalese\nare not found anywhere else in the world except in Sri Lanka.

Waduge-\u003c/span\u003eApropos to Dayan Jayatilake’s “Why Mangala must exit…...” in what he calls a ‘Mexit’ moment the suggestion is both valid and timely. The Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka must be change. In fact he should be impeached for treason and violation of the countrys constitution. He is like a loose cannon and has been making statements and decisions at diplomatic levels contrary and conflicting with what the Head of State has assured the nation. Some of these statements border on treason and immediately calls for action by a government that came to office on the assurance of good governance. The proof is now in the pudding and both the President \u0026amp; the Prime Minister are advised that a ‘stitch in time saves nine’ applicable in particular to the Foreign Minister who serially suffers an ailment of bringing people to power and with that same vigour removing them from office. Neither the President nor the Prime Minister would want to fall prey as previous others have.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe Foreign Minister has neither electoral clout nor public backing. He is following a very dangerous agenda that is likely to affect the political stability of the country.  We have to now wonder whether the co-sponsorship of the US-UK Resolution of 2015 was a personal decision making or whether it did have the nod of approval by both the President \u0026amp; the PM. If not this adds another reason for his impeachment. He is now advocating how powers of the Indian Ocean are to be distributed – all these are beyond his mandate and he has no business to be making statements that affect the entire country.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe island nation is not the personal property of the foreign minister.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWe cannot agree to a Foreign Minister who compromises the national sovereignty of the country. He is not paid to be shaking hands and forging deals that win him personal accolades at the cost of the nation and its armed forces. While he is welcome to solicit western patronage for personal endeavors it cannot be at the cost or at the expense of the nation’s integrity and by undermining the magnanimous achievements of our heroic armed forces. Even the diplomatic community are laughing at the manner the current foreign ministry is functioning under the foreign minister reducing diplomats into minions and peons.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe world is viewing chaos, divisions, terror and mayhem at such a time even small nations like ours can play a role no different to the memorable foreign policy of the late Mrs Sirimavo Bandaranaike who to this day is spoken of fondly by both the East and the Western bloc. She was able to balance politics of both spheres of influence and not bow down to or appease to any foreign power or pressure. This was non-alignment at its best and since other than late Mr. Lakshman Kadiragamar all others have been miserable failures.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe President of Sri Lanka has been repeatedly assuring the nation that there would be no foreign judges albeit there should be no war crimes tribunals at all and anyone reading the 5 legal opinions of the international legal luminaries tasked to assess the conflict have legally shown that the armed forces of Sri Lanka have not committed any war crimes to hold any war crimes tribunal against them. Therefore the stand the government of Sri Lanka needs to take is that Sri Lanka has not committed war crimes and therefore no such tribunals are necessary. Individual cases of soldier malpractice can if evidence are produced be tried in a military court as done in all countries. It is a very simple solution and avoids unnecessary cost and time as can be seen by the failures of all the tribunals that the UN has implemented.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe Foreign Minister’s close association with the LTTE Diaspora is another reason for his impeachment. Let us remind all that until and unless the TNA is investigated for links to the LTTE as well as the LTTE fronts that have been named under UNSC 1373 no country and the GOSL cannot enter any agreement with them. If the US has laws to indict individuals or organizations for material support to terrorism the TNA and the foreign based LTTE fronts named by the UNSC Resolution 1373 need to be investigated FIRST (even the ones whose names have been removed by the Foreign Minister)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eLet us also remind the Sri Lanka populace of the 2013 Singapore Principles where the present Foreign Minister agreed with the TNA on a conceptual framework based on which the changes currently taking place are aligned. The TNA demands for confederation is in line with their ultimate aim to separate from Sri Lanka and the build up to that are the calls for demilitarization, colonization of Sinhalese and now the attacks on Sinhala students at the University of Jaffna with the intent of transferring them to another university even Sinhalese pilgrims and their buses have been attacked – of course the international and local media choose to follow the monkey no see, no talk, no hear policy. All these promises assured in 2013 by the foreign minister are slowly coming into reality.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe nature of the UNHRC and its biased stand not to mention the illegalities and irregularities within the halls of the UN calls to mind the manner the present UNHRC head is behaving. His last statement called to ‘rein in the armed forces’ – is he comparing our armed forces to horses on the loose! In another occasion he even insulted our judiciary calling them incompetent. The lack of diplomatic response in calling UNHRC head to apologize and explain has encouraged him to produce more disparaging statements to which the foreign minister’s un-nationalist behaviour is adding further salt and pepper.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe world has been fooled. The people have been fooled. The 9/11 disclosures and the Chilcot Report clearly indicates that the Gulf Wars and invasions in Afghanistan have been built on lies and without reason. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died as a result since 1991 and today the Middle East is in flames. We do not wish to have any more bloodshed. We have gone through 30 years of terror and the UN and so-called international community did not enter the scene to stop LTTE terror. They have entered after the LTTE was vanquished and are crying over the last few months and counting the dead when they ignored all the tears and suffering by those that the LTTE killed including unarmed, injured soldiers while over 5000 of them are still missing. We don’t need such a UN to be preaching to us and no countries that have bombed nations on lies can bring resolutions against us while using veto powers in the UN to ensure inaction against their favourite countries. This is not justice that people expect of the UN. Our diplomats are doing nothing to counter the LTTE lobby that is influencing the US congress, US state department and even within the halls of the UN. Our foreign missions have failed to protect the sovereignty and national security of the country because the foreign minister stands as an obstacle.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWe have come to a point where we must stand and say that we will not be party to alienating, antagonizing or provoking any country because it meets the agendas of a handful of countries that our foreign minister is striking personal accords with. None of our historical friends can become enemies simply because ‘new friends’ have entered the scene. We have ridiculed our historical friends and thereafter discovered that the ‘new friends’ have nothing in their kitty to give and we have shamelessly ended up going behind the friends we have ridiculed. This is not diplomacy.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe Foreign Minister must be impeached and removed from office. He is not fit to function in his role. This country is not the personal property of any politician or political party that comes into power for a TERM of office. The President, PM, Wigneswaran, Sambanthan, Anura Kumara, C Ranawaka or even Mahinda Rajapakse cannot agree to divide the nation under any terminology or dictum used to fool the masses. We abhor British imperialism but we respect the manner that the British leaders have honoured the will of the people. We may not like the politics of David Cameron but following the Brexit vote he honourably resigned and this is a magnanimous gesture and one to be applauded.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eLook around the world and see the bloodshed taking place. We want no more. We must all stand up and not allow any of these vile politicians coming into the political scene to destroy the planet in the manner that they are behaving.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOur children deserve a happy and undestructive future and to enable this each of us must stand up and say NO to the politics of treachery that is taking place and these devious steps being followed by a handful of politicians must be stopped. The world does not need such people any more. We need peace and we need policy and we need people with integrity and public interest to rule. We do not need any more traitors in office.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eයුතුකම සංවාද කවය\u003cbr /\u003ewww.yuthukama.com \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cb\u003eLike us on facebook :https://www.facebook.com/yuthukama \u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.yuthukama.com/feeds/4577241034060839257/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.yuthukama.com/2016/07/impeach-mangala-samaraweera-for-treason.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8525172647349171824/posts/default/4577241034060839257"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8525172647349171824/posts/default/4577241034060839257"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.yuthukama.com/2016/07/impeach-mangala-samaraweera-for-treason.html","title":"Impeach Mangala Samaraweera for treason \u0026 violation of the Constitution"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"YuthukamaDean"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13920215433013508027"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzeCyutxTu0/V5jrOi35HcI/AAAAAAAAB8o/Ma5dD5rxffMNDebrV-hOLpPRP8_PMi0jwCLcB/s72-c/mangala%2Bsamaraweera%2B%2Bmongol.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525172647349171824.post-5693563612188220683"},"published":{"$t":"2016-07-01T09:13:00.001+05:30"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-07-01T09:13:20.528+05:30"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Main"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Shenali Waduge"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Did Sri Lanka commit ‘war crimes’?
