The latest incident where a mob led by
Sinhala Ravaya Buddhist monks, raided a home, on the pretense that they were
carrying out unethical conversions is an event that SHOULD have been condemned
by the President as soon as it happened.
No one can forcibly enter
someone else’s home without an arrest warrant issued on valid grounds by a
magistrate. The police did nothing to remove the trespassing criminals. We are
not animals! Whatever the merits or not of the goings on in the house, even if
it was illegal, should have been handled by the law, not a Mob of crazed monks
who are bent on depravity, and worse shaming Buddhism.
How can we in Sri Lanka be
proud of our Buddhist heritage, when mad men behave like this in the name of
Religion? The latest case I believe directly results from Ghotabaya Rajapakse
officiating at the opening of the Seth Sevana teaching establishment of the
BBS, which has indirectly frightened the Police from even enforcing the law.
After all, the defense secretary has endorsed this criminality.
It is time that people in
Sri Lanka realize that unless this lunacy is stopped there will be no one to
come to your aid when your home is raided due to a false allegation. You should
NOT be smug despite your Buddhist credentials. Don’t forget that in the
Prabarkaranesque era, if you do not conform to a set of beliefs no matter what
your religion, you were fair game for extinction.
Just as Prabarakaran
murdered Tamils who did not agree with him the next step in this maniacal
dictatorship is anyone who is felt to hold some credibility amongst people, and
opposes the Govt. is likely to be eliminated. Don’t wait for you turn!
It is in this context that
the citizens of Sri Lanka must realize that they are not safe under this
Dictatorship, as it does not act in any rational sense. There is no sense, no
purpose, and no meaning in what they do as far as the Country and its future is
concerned. They are merely governing by fear, so that we will be a subjugated
country, why wonder! Please realize who the terrorists are. They are in power.
It is only a matter of
time when those who support them also begin to fear them, then hate them and
then get killed by them. Those closest to the Administration are those who have
to fear most. Just read history. All those closest to the administration are
the ones who have the power to do most of the damage and the opposition has
been compromised, agitators imprisoned, and people generally suppressed. Mad men
fear Brutuses more than Brutus.
The last bastion of
defense is the current sycophant. Most of the suspicion will be on you who
consider yourself safe from ANY harm. A traitor is usually one’s own.
