There
was NO need for Yahapalana Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Parliamentarians to
go to UK and campaign the Sri Lanka Britons to vote in favour of PM Cameron's
support for UK to stay in the EU. Sri Lanka has violated the Covenants of
International Law and International Relations. No doubt we are having a Foreign
Ministry that is malfunctioning and Sri Lankan diplomats posted abroad doing
"sweet all nothing" and enjoying the perks provided, educating their
children abroad and now trying to gather support from the Sri Lankan diaspora
to celebrate a "SRI LANKA DAY" on the 17th., of August 2016, as
instructed by the FM in all the capitals in the world. Britons voting to EXIT
from the EU is a great blessing to make the political situation in Sri Lanka
more stable.
The victory to the “EXIT BRITON” group and political peoples
forces in the UK to defeat UK’s PM David Cameron should be considered
politically in the domestic arena in Sri Lanka as a VICTORY for the Mahinda
Rajapaksa group or the “EKAABADDA VIPAKSAYA” and the lovers of Mahinda
Rajapaksa and the MAATHRUBOOMIYA who have been tormented by the EU, David
Cameron and the PRO-LTTE political R2R factors of the International community,
since the commencement of the separatist war in Sri Lanka in 1983 and
intensified after the defeat of the LTTE in May 2009. As the saying goes –
“Anugta Korade Thamanta Paladei” – Cameroon has been cursed by the God, now to
suffer the same feelings and emotions of what Mahinda Rajapaksa went through at
the defeat in the Presidential Elections in 2015 (in a Sri Lankan context).
Cameron’s defeat should also be considered a defeat (in the same context) for
President Maithripala Sirisena and PM Ranil Wickremasinghe, because they (the
Yahapalana government) sent a battery of Sri Lanka parliamentarians and
Ministers supporting the Yahapalana government, both from the UNP and SLFP/UPFA
parliamentarians who were not in the Mahinda Rajapaksa “EKAABADDA VIPAKSAYA” to
campaign Sri Lanka domiciled in the UK who had the right to vote in this
referendum, during the run-up to yesterday’s elections/REFERUNDUM to support PM
Cameron.
A weekend newspaper last week listed the following parliamentarians of
the Yahapalana government who had visited Britain to urge British citizens of
Sri Lankan origin to support PM David Cameron to vote to remain within the
union. The name list went as follows: Minister Harin Fernando, Deputy Minister
Harsha de Silva, former UNP MP Rosy Senanayake, Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera,
Minister Susil Premajayantha and State Minister Dilan Perera. This battery of
Sri Lankan politicians have been fully backed and financed from Sri Lankan
taxpayers money by the Yahapalan government at a time when the poor citizens in
Sri Lanka were burdened with a 15 % VAT TAX on all and every trade, consumer
and service provisions in addition to an exorbitant cost of living rise in the
economy and deficiencies in government budgetary management that was plaguing
the poor ordinary citizens after the defeat of the Mahinda Rajapaksa government
in January 2015. Mahinda Rajapaksa’s march forward to power back again and the
popularity of the “EKAABADDA VIPAKSAYA” (in the Sri Lankan context) will gain
momentum in the coming week and months.
