Sudath Gunasekara. President Senior Citizens Movement Mahanuwara 28.5.2015.
This Government has arrested 8 prominent Buddhist monks and 19 leading Sinhala Buddhist activists for participating in a demonstration purported to be violating a court order and carrying a traditional lion flag, alleging that they carried an illegal national flag which in fact is not the national flag stipulated in the constitution. I think all those arrested were Sinhalese Buddhist leaders. I do not know why and to protect and satisfy whom they were arrested and harassed. This could the first time such a large number of Buddhist monks had been publicly humiliate in this country by any Government. I wonder whether this is a sign of things to come in the near future to the Sinhala Buddhist people in this country under the present regime. Perhaps these fools don’t realize the price they may have to pay for such follies.
OK, given that they were arrested for violating a court order and violating sec 6 of the Constitution then one has to ask he Government as to why it doesn’t arrest the Chief Minister NPC and the TNA Mpp and many other big shots who have openly violated the Constitution for about 5 times by now and violating the sixth Amendment. Why are they dead silent against the crimes committed by Minister Richard Badurdeen by illegally encroaching on crown land in Wilpattu National Park? Why are they deaf, blind and dumb on more serious crimes when they are committed by members of minorities? The answer is simple. They fear the loss of the Tamil and Muslim votes as it forms the bread and butter and breathing of their political survival. How come both the President and the Prime Minister are playing this double game? Is this WHAT THEY CALL Yahapalanaya.
Now look at the following statement made by Wigneswaran and the heinous crimes committed at Wilpattu by Minister Rishard Badurdeen. Cannot allow Army to rule the Province Chief Minister, Northern Provincial Council (NPC) C. V. Wigneswaran said he cannot accept to allow the Army which had committed war crimes to rule in the province.

Cannot allow Army to rule the Province
Chief Minister, Northern Provincial Council (NPC) C. V. Wigneswaran said he cannot accept to allow the Army which had committed war crimes to rule in the province.
“No one requested the Army to provide security for us. If somebody did so, he or she must be some collaborator or one who is afraid of the Army or a spy of the Government”, he added.
C.M. Wigneswaran further said the Security Forces should get out from the North. Resources in the North are being robbed and smuggled to other provinces.
“The presence of the Security forces here is drastically affecting the mental peace of our students. Though how much the Army tried to win the hearts and minds of the people, they cannot be accepted within a democratic structure. The Army and the Navy are planted by force among us even after 6 years from the end of the war,” he said.
He further stated that terrible crimes that are taking place currently in the North were unheard before year 2009. These are planned distractions to ensure that the youth should not evolve with freedom related aspirations, they should not transform into hard working people and we have to suspect that somebody is trying to deliberately to misdirect them into a negative direction.
No Sinhalese government is ready to say before the Sinhalese masses, that they should do some good to Tamils. Poison had been fed into minds of Sinhala people to that extent by governments in the past, he said.
He also said the Police and Army are not the same. Police do not depend exclusively on weapons. They had to work with the welfare of the people in their minds. The Army does not have a duty like that.
C. M. Wigneswaran was speaking at the 150th jubilee celebrations and the opening ceremony of a new building at the Inuvil Hindu College, Jaffna.
About whose army is this man talking about. The army there is the Sri Lankan Army as such the government has all the right to keep it there.
I wonder whether he already thinks the NP as a part of South India or whether he has already declared the EELAM like Wardharaja Perumal. I also wonder whether the Government also has conceded to the existence of ELLAM in the north or agreed to its formation in lieu of the votes it got at the last Presidential and the support expected in future elections. If the answer NO then why don’t the Government either arrest and take appropriate action against these people and do away with the Provincial Council cancer. That will not only release the Government of this headache but it will also save the Government of Billions of rupees which could be used for a better purpose than wasting on these institutions and on parasitic politicians who number around 6 to 7 hundred who enjoy a gala time at public expense only for collecting votes and commissions at grass root level for their masters and patronizers at national level.
The people are gradually realizing now the folly they have done by leaving everything to politicians. People in this country should rise against this system of ‘GOVERNEMENT BY THE POLITICIANS, FOR THE POLITICIANS AND OF THE POLITICIANS’ at least now and resolve to save this 2500 year old Sinhala Buddhist civilization in this country, before these treacherous politicians fix the last nail on the coffin.
