Allowing women their fundamental and human rights seems to irk many civilians in Sri Lanka the wrong way! Still Colonial Mentality of the leaders

I even know of a foolish woman who said she completely rejects the permission given to women to buy liquor/alcohol. Is she kidding? Or is she really serious, worse she is a candidate in the local council elections, and does she believe this stance is going to improve her chances? Or is she simply grandstanding, and out of ignorance cannot defend this statement, as it simply formalizing by removing an archaic rule of prohibition which was NEVER ENFORCED for obvious reasons, as a person could take the matter up as a FR petition to the Supreme Court and let the courts overturn this rule!

It simply goes to show the caliber of women we have put on our slate, simple village idiots no less, not realizing that on the one had they want parity and equality with men, and then on the other rejecting a women’s right to purchase alcohol.

So here are some suggestions for the newly empowered women. Go tell your husbands that they can come home, and she will go buy the alcohol, and he must drink at home, and tell him if he changes from Arrack to larger, she will also enjoy a drink with him and so does not have to show off to his friends and get drunk and come home wasted making a total fool of himself in front of her and the children.

Does anyone buy my story? Well try it for a while and you will see that there could be hope! But alas no. I just got wind of a statement the President has made, at an election rally in Agalawatte, to the effect that he is going to rescind this order, effectively consigning women to break the law, and the police having to enforce a stupid law, just to ease the pressure put on a Gramasevaka minded President consigning our women to the an age that never existed.

This kind of regressive thinking is all part and parcel of why the intelligent and educated wish to leave this Country while the village idiots are allowed to rule, an enslaved state.

I appeal to the youth who see the absurdity of politicized statements that are actually human rights violations, in any country and even in ancient Sri Lanka, the Kings of Polonnaruwa would never have tolerated such dictats, and would even consign their leader, in this case the President to the Tower until he saw sense. In fact this rule was one the British used to subjugate their subjects!

Kata Kiyannada?
