The politics of
this Govt. is like no other in the land like no other that is Sri Lanka.
Right in the
middle of CHOGM, the President was hijacked by the Channel 4 crew, and the
unruffled President asked them to go North and check it out. Then he instructed
his henchman, Chandresena and his brother SM Ranjith the Chief Minister of the
North Central Province to obstruct their journey North. The train that McCrae and
Miller were on was stopped North of Anuradhapura by an organized mob sent by
them. The Journalists were escorted back to Colombo. Implication being that
they could NOT get a firsthand look at the Northern Province and get visual,
verbal and eyewitness accounts!!!!
Then the bus
loads of women from the North, who are still fighting for their rights, of
missings and displaced and incarcerated relatives were stopped from proceeding
South of Madawachchiya and they protested back in Vavuniya!! What would have
been lost had they been allowed to come down south? Would it even have made
news like it does now.
Then it was the
turn of Gota’s goons on 13th November to obstruct the vehicle of the
Leader of the Opposition, and break its glass, whilst demonstrating against a
Human Rights Seminar of all things!!!
This MOB was demonstrating against the talk of Human Rights in the
middle of CHOGM, “you cannot be serious man”
If that was not
enough on 14th November the presence of Tamil people at the second
day of that conference on HR was also pelted with Goons provided by the
governing party, Kotte municipal councilors, under Gota’s instructions all of which
makes the news, and gives foreign journalists a “heyday payday” being fed
them by the Government. On top of it that
mobster from the BBS the Ven. Galagoda Aththo Gnanisara has managed to jump into Sirikotha
to cause mayhem and raise his stock amongst his gallery. What a right royal farce,
on Prince Charles Birthday!
In my book this is
the work of traitors and who might that be? The Rajapakse government without a doubt
and without shame it seems. It is apparent that the whole country is under the misapprehension
that the Opposition is trying in unpatriotic, and it is not a question, who the
real culprits are. This Govt. is doing its darndest to make out to foreign journalists
that it is a racist bigoted state owned and run by a family, so that they can use
it as political capital against the Govt. in their normal act of playing to the
gallery. This is something foreign journalists DO NOT understand as it sounds illogical,
but is a hugely effective political tool!
